David Fallang Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

DR Fallang is very friendly .explaned the whole surgery. office staff is very nice .Alittle slow on filing paper work.

I went to a info session for the doctor Feb. 10 2000. He was very open about the pros and cons on wls. The office takes care getting my approval, which I recieved March 1, 2000. I looking forward to my surgery. I will update after my surgery.

Since I have not had surgery yet, I can only describe my first thoughts about Dr. Fallang. I enjoyed his seminar and found it to be quite informative. I really liked his manner and personality. He seemed to answer all questions and had a lot of information to offer. His staff has been very helpful and nice so far. The only thing I have encountered to this point that I haven't liked is the fact that some patients get an earlier surgery date before they even have insurance approval. I was approved on February 29 and had my date of May 9 set. I was told that was the earliest. Then I got online and talked to 2 different people that have surgery dates before me and still do not have definite insurance approval yet. This sort of upsets me. I keep calling for a cancellation date and I did get moved up to May 2. I just was hoping for April. I am sure they have very good reasons for doing this, but that doesn't mean I particularly like it.

Wonderful surgeon and staff. He has wonderful bedside manner. Would rate him 10 on a 1-10 scale.

Dr. Fallang is GREAT! He is a very caring doctor with a perfect bedside manner. He and his office staff were so helpful with everything. I cant say that there is anything that I didnt care for about Dr. Fallang, and hes nice to look at! I felt comfortable from day one with him. As all obese people know, we are usually looked down upon by the public, and in some cases by our own family doctors, at this office your apart of the "family". I had a open RNY procedure done on 12-9-99 and as of today, 2-12-00 i have lost 50 pounds! If anyone lives in the area and would like to have WLS performed by a caring, compassionate, and devoted surgeon contact Dr. Fallang. This will be the best decision of your life. If anyone has any questions please feel free to write me! LISA

I really dropped the ball with Dr. Fallang and Staff after learning i was approved in Dec of 1998. I was scared. It took me until june/july of 1999 to recontact them. they were very diligent in working with my insurence. I really liked Dr. Fallang. He is very to the point. I would have felt a little more comfortable with some more post op guidance though. Im still really foggy on what exactly I should be eating-- after almost 6 months post op.

Dr. Fallanf is very good at addressing all side effects of the surgery.. risks included.

overall, i'd rate him and staff a 7 with much to be desired in aftercare. But the point is, he did an excellent job with the surgery.

I attended an information session with Dr. Falling on Dec. 30, 1999. I was very impressed and felt he cares about his patients and knows how we feel. Hopefully, the insurance clearance will be coming soon and I can at least progress to the next step.

I found him to be a friendly, caring (amazing isn't it!)doctor, who is will to spend the time with you to answer any and all questions to help you make the right decision.His staff is friendly,and knowledgable about dealing with insurance companies.

I would most definitly recommend Dr. Fallang to anyone. He is a very caring person and seems to generally see into your particular situation. I like the fact that he used no tubes, catheters, etc during surgery to hinder me afterwards and I was up and moving and gone in 2 days!!!

my first impression of the dr. was that he was caring and that he felt he was helping people try to return to a normal ay ayof way of life. he emphasizes that is a tool not a cure. you have to do your part exercises
