Philip George, MD

In response to the disheartening changes to the U.S. childhood immunization schedule announced by the @CDCgov yesterday, @ASMP_org, in collaboration with @ForeverEmilyS and @KimCFoundation, has issued the following statement. ASMP encourages families to consult immunization recommendations from trusted medical organizations, including the @AmerAcadPeds and the @aafp, to help ensure children, teens, and young adults are protected against this deadly disease. Read the full statement: meningitisprevention.org/2026-vaccine-s…

@FilipinoSurgeon It’s really good to add to new or existing medical history museums

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Please don't take comedians' words seriously or factually. A DO is not less than an MD in any way. We have many DOs in the membership and we would be happy to have one operate on us should we ever need it.

Long term improvement in quality of life after metabolic surgery is impressive and supported by many studies including STAMPEDE. @drbutsch @ADA_DiabetesPro @AmDiabetesAssn @ObesityAction @obesity_help @ObesitySociety @OMAsocial @MedscapeEndo @TheAACE @FRubinoMD @NeilFlochMD

Bariatric Surgery = Diabetes Surgery!!! Studies show surgery is superior to intensive medical therapy in controlling and reversing diabetes in patients with BMI>27 #stampede #JustDoIT #bariatricsurgery @ASMBS @ASMBSFoundation

Congratulations to Dr. Igor Belyansky for receiving a $50,000 grant from @SAGES_Updates to study surgical outcomes in Robotic versus Laparoscopic Adominal Wall Reconstruction. #Healthcare #research #medicalresearch

Called a patient today to tell them their colonoscopy biopsies showed cancer. Patient already knew—got an automated alert earlier in the day and read the results on the online medical record. At home, alone. This new law granting access to test results is a BIG problem.

Thanks to @acsJACS for the opportunity to share our work! We suggest that #reconstruction should be delayed for T4 breast cancer to mitigate the risk of surgical complications and adjuvant treatment delay in this high-risk group of patients.
