Anyone heard of or been to Dr. John Miller or Jared Speakman of St. George Utah? I am considering getting my surgery through Dr. John Miller already checked his credentials, and did a back ground check. Came back clean, just hoping to find someone who might have had their surgery there.

Hi, Michelle;

I have NO experience or knowledge about the Dr you mentioned, but i am very familiar with St George (My mother lives there...) and I know that as a rule, they have rather exceptional medical care in that area. As I am sure you know, there is a beautiful new Regional medical Center there, and I think the reason the overall care is so good in the area is because a LOT of the population is elderly, has a lot of money, and the area has attracted good Drs.

Having said that, I will advise you to do your research CAREFULLY and THOROUGHLY. Make sure that your Surgeon has done HUNDREDS of these operations (500 would be my low threshold) and make sure you speak to several of the people who had used the surgeon you select.

I would think that there would be some good surgeons out there....I've been to the Chuck-a-Rama, and I can certify that there is no lack of potential clientele for WLS in that city! :thumbup:
