Why Choose UsAfter reviewing many websites and watching videos about gastric surgery, I decided to take the first step and meet with Dr. Shillingford. The staff was great and the doctor was amazing. They helped me every step of the way. In December 2014, I weighed 237 pounds and now 6 months later I am 143 pounds with the help of the doctor and all my support at home! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The only regret I that I have is that I didn’t do it sooner! I have gone from a size 18 to a size 8 in 8 months and I know that I will continue to lose more. I’m happy, full of positive energy, and I’m confident about myself for the first time in 12 or 15 years.

Dr. Shillingford was very knowledgeable and reassuring pre-op. I felt very comfortable with him and his skills. His office manager, Nancy, was always available for questions and concerns and got back to me quickly. I am 5 weeks post op and down 27 lbs, and am doing things I haven’t done in years and feeling comfortable in my own skin again. Dr. Shillingford sees me regularly and is attentive to all my questions. I know I made the right decision when I picked him.

I thought Dr. Shillingford was very comfortable to speak with and was very thorough. My recovery time was quick. The pre-op diet and dietitian meeting were a MUST. The staff was all very courteous.

Dr. Shillingford and his entire staff are the most caring, professional people I have ever encountered. I was so nervous, but he put my mind at ease and I have never been happier. My surgery went better than I could have expected. The hospital was amazing. My only wish was that I did this sooner. Thanks, Dr. Shillingford, for my amazing new life!

I absolutely love the office staff! They are so friendly and always answer any and all questions I had. They all made sure that I knew all that I needed to prior to my surgery, and even any follow up questions after!

It was clear to us from the start how genuine and supportive Dr. Shillingford was during our office visits , but he demonstrated how much he truly cares about his patients during the surgery. Guests and family members were given the most up-to-date information possible, and our young man was allowed a chance to allay any concerns before, and after the procedure was over with direct input from Dr. Shillingford and his team.
I wish I had done this procedure years ago. After our first meeting, Dr. Shillingford helped me to feel very comfortable about the procedure and that it was the perfect one for me. I was amazed by the speedy recovery I have had since. When I started, I weighed 395 lbs and today, just 6 weeks after surgery, I weigh 35 lbs less. I can’t wait to get to exercising and enjoying life!

Although it took time to get used to eating differently, the decision to undergo the gastric bypass surgery with Dr. Shillingford has been great for me. Overall I feel great but I am at the point where I need to work to maintain my weight loss. Fortunately I have nutritional and behavioral support to keep me on track!

I would recommend the gastric sleeve procedure to anyone struggling to lose weight. The pre-op and post-op process requires a real commitment but it is doable. Once you see the weight coming off you’ll be happy you did it. Dr. Shillingford and his staff are there to support and help you in every way they can.
