Michael Todd
"Hi, I found Dr. Todd and his staff to be exceptionally thoughtful and caring individuals. They have an ernest desire to help individuals and Dr. Todd has thought this through very thoroughly before he became involved in Bariatric surgery and it shows. It is most refreshing to me as a Registered Nurse to see a Physician who is very caring and thoughtful to his patients and is willing to spend as much time as is needed to help them understand what this surgery is all about. He's also very honest and open about how he became involved in the surgery and what his goals are and what his motivation was for doing the surgery. Money was not a motivator and I liked that a lot!!!! It to me means that he is worth what he will be asking for his fee but it is not the motivator for what he does and so therefore it makes me very much more trusting to go through this procedure. I would recommend him to others that I know and will continue to do so. He did himself personally explain the diet, what kinds of complications his patients had if any and what his limitations were on accepting patients. He also was very honest about how many surgeries he had done. He addressed the issues of risks very thoroughly. I found that the thing that might make a few hesitant about seeking him out as there surgeon is that he is just beginning in this field and so has a limited number of surgeries behind him at this time. I was very reassured though with his openness about this and the fact that he did have limitations, stated them openly and easily. In the Orientation phase he personally spent over 2 hours with myself and 2 other women explaining the procedure and why he was involved and about his medical career. He then took us each singely and gave us time to talk to him personally and did our physical exams. His staff then took over and talked of course about the financial side of things and what the plan was for interacting with the insurance company and the history that they had had with the my insurance company thus far and the lengths that they were willing to go to to get this surgery approved even if it meant going over the head of the insurance company. Please feel free to contact me if you are considering having surgery by him as I would be most eager to talk with you."
