Juliet Holder-Haynes, MD

I’m curious about the people who have had a good experience with her. I completely agree with the patients who describe her as annoyed with questions and having a terrible bed side manner. She does televisits but always makes you feel like you are bothering her. Well she does that in person too. And the comment about her getting offended for us asking questions about concerns with the surgery REALLY resounded with me. What is that about? I’ve had several follow up calls with her while she is driving. She didn’t acknowledge how rude and dangerous that is and continued to make me feel like a burden. She always seems annoyed. I had my gastric bypass with her 5 years ago and all I’ve had since then is more health problems, save for no more GERD. I got an anastomatic ulcer that I had to go to the ER for. I found out I will have to be on Protonix for the rest of my life. Protonix is not a medication that you are supposed to be on long-term - it has bad side-effects, but I was told that it is… that or suffer until my ulcer hospitalizes me again. She knows about this but has had next to nothing to say or do about it. Which makes sense since apparently the only possible thing to try is more surgery, which she DID mention but I am terrified of doing it for obvious reasons. In addition to my ulcer, I now have a VERY diminished ability to metabolize medication and I have a dilated common bile duct which is still being investigated and has been causing liver issues for me. Dilated common bile duct is apparently one of the side effects of the surgery. Another reason I’m afraid to get more surgery. I don’t directly blame her for this as it is one of the many known side effects you agree to accept when you get the surgery. Also, 5 years later I weigh the same as I did before I got the surgery. I’m very unhealthy. I know many people have huge success with the surgery but I thought it might be a good idea to let people know it isn’t guaranteed. And also that Dr. Holder-Haynes leaves a lot to be desired as a health care provider. If you are researching her, I definitely recommend looking elsewhere. Unless you can pinpoint what is going on with the patients having such great experiences with her. I apparently never found the key.

This lady needs communication, an bed side manner skills, she so dry, and sarcastic on the slick. Shes performing my sons gastric sleeve, since hes been going to her, its been nothing but a thorn in my side for my son to deal with her. All i know, she better take care my son in this surgery. She dont wont no problems with this MOM. Be careful chosing this one.. If you desire a friendly, caring, compassionate doctor, she AINT IT..

did surgery on a friend of mine's 8 days later she passed

Dr Holder-Haynes is straight forward surgery that gifes her r fact opinion on the members and don't cut any mustard. But only thing I would like to see improve is how much she spends with the member, don't get me wrong she explains everything but sometimes I felt like I was on a slow page and she was steam rolling ahead. But other that very good doctor

Dr. Holder Haynes actually didn't operate on me! Instead, she spent 11 days on my condition in the hospital as I was rushed via ambulance on an emergency condition, helping me heal naturally. Every single day, she kept saying she could operate, but it would be so much better if she could help my body heal itself, and through her care, it did. She monitored me very closely, and her follow-up 3 weeks later was very thorough. It's been over a year, and I remain impressed by her care.

Dr. Holder-Haynes is one of the best and most caring surgeons! She does weight-loss surgery, and definitely knows what she is doing. She will not perform surgery if she doesn't feel that you will succeed, and she's open about this. I didn't feel like a number with her, but like someone that she was helping reach a goal. She can be firm, but will tell you like it is and won't sugarcoat things. Highly recommended if you want to lose weight and keep it off!

She was insulted and annoyed I had questions, her ego was bigger than the high rise that she has her office in and she decided she would not preform my surgery because when I wanted answers and technique explanations she decided I was an angry person. She epitomizes "The God complex". I wouldn't let her operate on me if she was the last living surgeon on this planet.
