For those looking for a surgeon in the SF Bay Area, I went with Dr. John Connelly, who’s with Sutter out of Mountain View, surgery at their Los Altos facility. These are reasons I picked him:
- I was at a higher BMI than many surgeons would accept; no issue for him.
- Competitive price for the items insurance didn’t cover.
- Part of my healthcare group (Sutter) so easy to coordinate with my PCP and the doctor who did my hernia repair.
- The practice was recommended.
So far I’m extremely happy with the care, and the results are good although really too early to tell (only 2 1/2 weeks post-op).
