You might check with "Jack" from Oregon (quote below). I'm sure he must have done some researching of area doctors before choosing his doctor in Portland. Use search, put in oregon or jack, and his posts will come up.

"I'm in East Linn County......and I used Dr. Hong in Portland....great surgeon, everything has gone well for me.....

The Band has certainly improved MY life....."

Jack is also just a GREAT person to be acquainted with!

There's also a Dr. Emma Patterson out of Portland. I've heard nothing but good things about her. Best of luck to you.

Dr. Patterson and Dr. Hong are in the same office in Portland. They both have high satisfaction ratings from our Bandsters here.

If I said anything more positive about Dr. Hong it would sound like I'm a shill for him.

I personally interviewed several RnY docs and several Band docs prior to my own surgery.

Dr. Hong has done very well dealing with my type of personality and phobias....

There is a new third surgeon in their office. I do not know anything about him.

Dr. Patterson is regarded by many as the pioneer Band Surgeon of Oregon as far as I can tell.

There are others in Bend who do banding. I believe there are other Band surgeons, but when I was looking 18 months ago, mostly they were RnY docs. I'm sure this is changing.

Dr Patterson is a good Dr. (Or thats what they say) but she won't give you any breaks for not having any Insurance.

Dr. Patterson trained the surgeon who did my band here in Boise, Idaho. He did a fantastic job if that counts for anything. :)

Dr. Patterson does loads of Medicare patients. I would call that a very good thing for any dr. to do. She is excellent and in fact taught the doctors in Boise how to do the procedure. The woman knows her stuff!!:)
