I considered Dr. Benavides In Dallas (on Coit Rd) because I have a friend who used him and loved him, but used Dr. Wade Barker at Doctors Hospital at White Rock Lake because of his price. I am happy with him.

I used Dr Richard Benavides and he gets 2 thumbs up from me
It was reassuring to me that he's done so many of them. I went to him based on a personal recommendation and every patient of his that I've spoken to have been nothing but pleased.
Good Luck in your search.

I used Dr. Cribbins in Plano. He is very nice and caring and goes the extra mile for you. He has great bed side manner. I have heard wonderful things about his partner Dr. Hamn as well.

| Another Cribbins recommendation
I had my surgery in January of 08 and have been very impressed with Cribbins and his office. He has excellent bedside manner and really takes care of his patients. I highly recommend him.

I used Dr. Veninga, who practices at TLCEdge as well as Trinity Mills. He's great! He'll spend as much time as you need to make sure you understand the procedure as well as what to expect before and after. He went through a video of the actual surgery with me, explaining it in complete detail. TLCEdge is in Plano at the Prestonwood Surgery Center. Wonderful staff there!! Good luck!

I heard of an office named iVital and Dr. Cribbins does their surgeries, but had not found anyone that has experience with them or the surgeon.

I used Dr Stephen Hamn. Both Dr. Hamn and Dr. Cribbins are highly recommended. Good Luck on you search!

My doc is Dr Marsden, he just happened to be the Doctor doing the AIGB/True Results seminar the night I went, and I was highly impressed with him, and he hasnt let me down since. Tons of experience, cardiology background prior to banding, wife is a doctor too, last published count I saw of his surgeries was a few years old and it was over 3,000 at that time - I would recommend him to anyone. You can see him anytime you want to, but aftercare such as support groups and Fills is through True Results, and my experience has been good with them too.
Best of luck to you in picking a surgeon that's right for you!
Tina

Add 2 more votes for Dr Marsden! Egorsgirl and I have both been banded by him[me just today 5/14 as a matter of fact]. We really like his caring and sense of humor.
