He is known for his quick pace with surgery. Beware! His pace creates a high rate of errors. He clipped my vagus nerve which has caused me to have Gastroparesis - a lifelong ailment. I’ve had several surgeries because of his error and it has nearly cost me my career! I’m limited in what I can now do!!!

I wanted to correct the last post.
Ms.Chris Nelson is PA not a nurse practitioner!!
I want to continue to have the same trust in Dr.Lavin.
Is just the that he's taking way to many surgeries. If he continues he'll become just a ok surgeon..
Please,continue your excellent skills and not to do so many surgeries.
You will get tired .

Dr Lavin is a great surgeon.
But I think sometimes so many people want to see him. They are a lot of other physicians in his group.

I know that with me he's don everything to make everything correct from my surgery. I hope I never have to change my mind about you!! There's one other thing that I miss is Cris Nelson the nurse practitioner she was excellent! She always make sure that the patient get the right care and I just missed that from her.

Dr.Lavin was amazing at one time.
He did my surgery in 2004 . I had a weight regain due to an accident that hurt my knee and unable to walk good.
He did a surgery in 2015 that left me vomiting for sick for 14months.I remember that my surgery was scheduled early.
It didn't start until late.He had been tiered
even though he says he never get tierd.
Why was I so stupid 🙄🙄should have gone
home and focus on finding some else.

No one else wanted to do the revision.
He did it cuz🤔🤔 I had no choice to repair a
Lot of issues.


Now
I find out that the best Nurse practitioner
Chris Nelson isn't there anymore. I am so sad!!
She was hands on with blood work an anthing that can be good to help with your health.
Now,Dr.lavin does not read notes on your chart
Unless you point them out..
This bacame a practice of CUSTOMER INSTED OF PATIENT
DR.He only cares about the money now.
Dr.Lavin what happend? You had my admiration
because at one time you were all about the patient Now you're about the money!!

I had to have a sleep study done for my lap band, which turned out was totally unnecessary. Two years later I received a bill for $500. Seems the staff was lacksadaisy about billing. Dr. Lavin himself is wonderful. But, I am aggravated about paying another $500 on top of the $15000 I have already paid!

Dr Lavin is a Lapband specilest. But if you go to him he insist that you do sleep study test that has nothing to do with the lapband sugery! Cost a patient almost 900 dollars of additional expense, besides what he is getting from the insurance companys ! By the way he owns the sleep solution clinic that he is insisting you go to. THIS IS A BIG SCAM !!!!!!
