Singing River Hospital (COE)
"I actually enjoyed my stay at a hospital for once. All of the nurses were very nice and accomadating. Pain-wise, I had a PCA pump the first and second day, and took liquid Tylenol 3 on Thursday the 18th. It was actually pretty quiet the whole time and I got one good night's sleep on Wednesday night."

William T. Avara
"Dr. Avara is one of the nicest Doctors I have met. I am set to have the Lap RNY with him on September 16. I am very gracious to him because I realize that he didn't have to accept me, especially considering I am a minor. I am 17 years old and have been battling obesity my whole life. He emphasizes aftercare very much, and wants to make sure you stick to the program. His staff is wonderful, especially Lisa Branam, and Valorie Barnes. I think I might have set a record for fastest meeting to surgery. My first meeting with them was August 5, 2008, and my surgery is September 16. rnrnrnNow that I have had my surgery, I must say that his bedside manner is not the best. I was in the hospital for 2 days after my surgery, and he checked on me one time. My uncle used Dr. Avara also, and he told me the same thing. If I had to rate him on a scale of 1-10, I would have to give him an 8. He was a good doctor, but the bedside manner was not the best."
