My mother had Dr. Randall at Lawrence Memorial in Medford. She had a gastric bypass. It was not a good experience. The care he gave her was terrible. She ended up in another hospital very very sick. I am not sure if it is the same Dr. but just so you know he was not good.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news....... good luck!

I had my surgery by Dr. Randall last year. Al I can say is that he is a wonderful and caring man. I see him every 6 weeks and if I neeed anything in between I can email or call him if it is urgent. Metalband maybe your mom just had some complications. I highly doubt the care he gave to her was horrible

Vicky,

I am not sure if it is the same Dr. that used to do the surgery in Medford but I would not make this up. The care was horrible. He blew her off when she told him what was going on etc. He did not give her the time of day after surgery. She was rushed to Emerson and was very ill. I am not trying to bad mouth anyone and I am sure other people have had different experiences. I just answered the question as honest as possible and I would hope that If I asked the question, I would get someones honest opinion. I am glad that your experience was better and that you are healthy and happy.

Well Dr. Randall is at Lawerence Memorial Hospital in Medford so this is the same man you are talking about. He is a kind man and it is unfortunate that your mom had a bad experience.

Guy do you go to the meetings?
