"The only bad experience I had was the wait before surgery. Surgery was delayed almost 4 hours and we weren't informed until we had been in the waiting room for 5 hours (We were told to arrive 2 hours before surgery). I was never offered anything for my nerves.
But aside from that, I felt well cared for by the doctors and the nursing staff."
"Dr. Waldrep seems quite young, but I have heard through his former and current patients that he is very competent, and has a good reputation.
He requires potential patients to attend a 3 hour WLS seminar, which was both entertaining (he has a great sense of humor) and informative.
I was feeling pretty anxious about my surgery, but after my pre-op appointment with Dr. Waldrep I felt reassured and more confident. He took his time and answered all my questions. I never felt rushed or like I was asking questions he had already heard a million times.
The staff is quite helpful, but very busy.
Be prepared for a long wait in the waiting room.
