Dr. Helmuth Billy?

Hey, all! So, I'm probably about halfway through the process now and have been looking at Dr. Billy in Thousand Oaks/Ventura County. I've heard nothing but good things so far, but just wanted to get as many opinions as I can!

I know he's well known for taking care of complications caused by other doctors, which is very cool. Just wanted to know about how things went when Dr. Billy was the guy who did your band in the first place!

Thanks, all!

Nick

I had a great experience with Dr Billy. He does my fills also. I can't wait to go back to him. (I just had a baby and had to have all my fill removed.) I am excited to get skinny again.

Dr billy is a great doctor but his personality is RUSHED and AROGANT! So what. I don't go to him for friendship. I wish I would have picked him first.

Contact me if you need more info.

I am looking into the same group for my surgery. I was originally supposed to see Dr. Billy but due to a change of Seminars I ended up seeing Dr. Korman. He was nice but I think I am finding most surgeons are a little arrogant. Good luck with your journey.

Dr Billy is an excellent surgeon and his staff is excellent as well. I just attended one of his seminars but I also do know him from the local hospital as well. He does seem to be full of himself but all doctors are, aren't they?
I am trying for insurance auth right now so that I can get the band done, and i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I was banded by Dr. Billy in April and couldn't have been happier with him. His credentials outweigh any lack of bedside manner for me, but I thought he was very nice. I was very impressed with his expertise. I wouldn't have entrusted my life to anyone less experienced.
