Michael Todd
"Alaska Bariatric Center and all the people who work there have been great. I did not see Dr. Todd until my final H&P visit, but I had met him at SGM's. He does come often to the meetings and he posts on the board, just to stay in touch with us. I found him to be very busy, I had to write down questions so I would not forget, because I know he is busy. The think I like the least about him is how busy he is, seems to be very rushed. Future patients should write down their questions and ask him, he will be very happy then to take the time to answer your questions. Dr. Todd is very strcit about pre-care and post-care this is just something you have to do for your own health. He can't watch over you 24 hours a day, he expects you to alert him to any problems. He is very upfront with the risks of surgery, he doesn't hide anything---tells about his successes and failures and iinvites you to ask questions. Overall, I think he does a tremendous job and that he really cares about each and every patient and wants tthem to succeed, to enjoy life like he does!!! Surgical competence matters the most to me. I am a nurse, and I have worked with many brilliant surgeons that would scare you off with their bedside manner, but I would want them to operate on me!!! I didn't go to Dr. Todd because I wanted him to hold my hand and placate me, I went to him because I believe he is the best qualified bariatric surgeon in Alaska, and I did my research!!! But, he did hold my hand, smile, and pray with me before surgery!!! what a bonus!!!"
