Hey everyone, new to this site so bear with me! :thumbup:

I live in the Cleveland area and I'm looking for a surgeon. I got some paperwork from the bariatrics office at the Cleveland Clinic (main campus). The clinic has been very good to my family for other issues in the past which is why it's my first choice. I don't really know any better though so I'm hoping to get some suggestions from these forums.

Anyone have experience with the clinic? Any specific doctor you recommend? Any other doctor or location in the cleveland/akron area you'd recommend over the clinic?

thanks!

I am scheduled with Dr. Leena Khaitian out of Geauga Medical Center on This Thursday at 12:30. They are part of University hopsitals and university is the best in the Cleveland area for this.

My doctor has been in Cleveland for sometime and she was brought in by UH to start the center in Geauga (Chardon). She is wonderful as well as all of her staff.

I would recommend them if you are not too far from them.

I live in Eastlake. My journey has been for a couple months.

^Thank you so much! That's really fast. I looked her up and will call her tomorrow. I have my paperwork for the clinic filled out but not mailed in yet, so I'd like to shop around before I commit to the clinic. Thanks again!

i've chosen dr ben-meir at st v's, as did a few of my friends. he's been at st v's since 2001 or 2002. he has a *flawless* record and from what others have told me, a nice bedside manner. he is very highly regarded in the cleveland area.

good luck with your choice !!!
