Why Choose UsI am so happy that I chose to get the gastric sleeve with Dr. Shillingford. He is an amazing surgeon! He has a wonderful bedside manner. The hospital was also great, along with his staff! The only thing I regret is not having done this sooner! I initially went to his office in March 2016 but chickened out. At that point in my life, I was at my heaviest, 255 lbs. In May, I started having chest pains and thought I was having a heart attack, not to mention that my blood pressure was through the roof. Thankfully, it was just stress and heartburn. I always had a lot of body aches, headaches, always felt tired, and not to mention, uncomfortable. Finally, after a lot of coaxing from my friend and coworker, I made one of the best choices in my life. Dr. Shillingford performed the gastric sleeve surgery on me at the end of December 2016. Including the pre-op diet, I’ve lost over 70 pounds and feel AMAZING! THANK YOU DR. SHILLINGFORD!!!

I would love to thank Dr. Shillingford and staff for their service. My life has been altered in a most positive way by having the gastric sleeve operation. I have lost 90 pounds and feel awesome. I have another 60 pounds to lose and I know I will lose the balance. I would highly recommend this operation to anyone and certainly will highly recommend Dr. Shillingford.

I fully recommend Dr. Shillingford. My surgery was a success, no pain, no any bad situation. When I was at the hospital before the surgery a nurse asked me who was my doctor and when I told her Dr. Shillingford, she said ‘You are in great hands.’ And, yes, I’m very happy with everything. After a month I’ve already lost 30 pounds and 10 pounds in the pre-op diet. I’m so happy and blessed to have found Dr. Shillingford and his staff!

The office staff was great and very informative. Dr. Shillingford was very patient and understanding in the pre-op process. Surgery went as well as could be expected, and the doctor was very diligent in ensuring I had everything I needed, even over a holiday weekend. Discharge went smoothly and I was out and home recovering quickly. Dr. Shillingford and his staff are great and if I had to do it all over again, I would choose them!

Dr. Shillingford is amazing! After interviewing 3 doctors prior to surgery, Dr. Shillingford had the best bedside manner. I am 50 pounds down since my gastric sleeve surgery, which as 2 months ago. I have high energy and am starting to feel like myself again. Thank you to his office staff as well, they too are great .

Having the gastric sleeve procedure has changed my life. I have lost 70 pounds in 6 months and am now able to run without pain, play with my kids, and love going out. I have found it is important to stay hydrated, take small bites and eat slower. Mentally, it’s been challenging, however with the success I have achieved I would do it again. Dr. Shillingford and his staff were incredible throughout these last 6 months. Dr. Shillingford was patient and reassuring throughout the whole process. I definitely recommend the gastric sleeve to anyone who has tried various diets and exercise programs without continued success. This procedure has given me a second chance.

The price was my first incentive, but the staff and Dr. Shillingford are great, very helpful, and knowledgable. I feel very comfortable with explaining my problems to the doctor and feel like he understands instead of judges. Highly recommended.
