Hi,

This is my first chat room anywhere and I hope I do this right. Has anyone had a bad experience with Dr. Billy and staff? I'm going to be scheduled for surgery pretty soon, but am scared to death right now to go ahead with it because of my office visit and the general attitude. Just wondering, because all of the chat rooms I've found go on and on about how wonderful they are and now I'm thinking maybe they really are that great and just don't like me personally. I'd appreciate any comments and what you think, thanks!

I was looking for the same thing. Did you see this thread?

Hi there - I was banded by Dr Billy just last month on 6/17 and I had a great experience. All of their exams and appointments were very thorough, they are very informative, he is really into follow-up appointments and keeping in touch with the center for support. I would reccommend him to a family member for sure. Feel free to message me if you want to talk about it some more. Good luck!

Regardless of how glowing reports are, if you aren't comfortable with a surgeon and his staff, go with your gut. Find another.
