Dr. Garth Davis in Houston

Has anyone been banded by him?? Or currently in the process of being banded by him? I'm really frustrated right now! Yesterday I found out that my insurance will cover a large portion of the procedure as long as I do a 3 month supervised diet. So I was excited to find that out and called his office to ask a few questions and sign up for his seminar. Well the girl they transferred me to was so rude... and I was so frustrated with her that after I got off the phone I realized I didn't sign up for his seminar!!! Now I have to call her back!

Right now I'd almost rather self pay so I could to someone else... I can't stand rude people and I'm hoping she was just having a bad day and that she does not represent what the rest of his staff is like.

So what was your experience like with him??

I was banded by him on 3/7/08. You have to go through the Methodist Weight Management Program if your insurance is going to pay. The psych, nutrition, and diet all happens through them first. I didn't even see Dr. Davis until after I had "graduated" from the program and I was approved by insurance. So sign up for the seminar through the Methodist program. He is a good doctor and I haven't had problems with people being rude. Sorry you had a bad experience, but I think and hope it was a fluke. There is a website for the Methodist program and numbers to call there. Good luck, I would highly recommend him.:thumbup:

He does or did the TV show "Big Medicine" I love the show. I'm very impressed with their program. I wish I lived in Texas. Give it another try. Maybe she was just having a bad day. Good Luck!

I know someone who was going to him, and was not happy with the whole process, they had her go thru several months of liquid diet delaying her surgery, only then to tell her at begining of year they would no longer participate with her insurance, that was last straw for her. She found new Dr she loves, with in one week of seeing him, he had her approved and her surgery done, she is very happy now.
