"Rooms are mostly private and very cheery. The nurses were all wonderful and very attentive. They really have things in order there. Very organized, clean, friendly and an overall great experience!"
"I arrived at his office and he was running behind, but it was great because I think I got to meet like 20 other people who had either had the surgery or were going to have it. My first impression of him is that he is pretty laid back and humorous. His office staff was really nice and helpful. They were so busy and handled it really well. The least thing I liked about him was the fact that I really felt like I didn't get much out of the consult. He weighed me, told me about risks and benefits, gave me a patient profile to fill out and a book about WLS. I didn't not have time to ask any questions and felt hurried. I am hoping this is just a result of being so busy that day. He really emphasizes aftercare and I got the impression that he does not put up with any BS. It seems like it is pretty structured and said since I lived in Ocala, I could come see him once a month for as long as I needed to for check-up and blood work. He is very blunt about the risks of surgery as well as being overweight. I like the fact that a lot of his patients that I talked to were only "under" for 45-60 minutes. I would say his surgical competence is excellent. He performs the operations literally everyday! His bedside manner was OK, he was nice and funny, but I felt a little rushed. Suggestion: When you go to your consult, be ready to speak up and act quickly, or it'll be over before you know it and you'll have had no time to get any of your questions answered."
