"I could write what everyone else wrote about Dr. D and it would all be true. He knows his stuff and there is no doubt once you meet him that he is a no nonsense type of person. He is one word - wonderfull! He is there for you. I went to see him because let's face it I'm fat and I don't want to be that way anymore. I've been this way for almost all my life. I can't lose the weight without intervention at this point and I've made my mind up that it will happen and that's it. You have to be at that point to be able to do this right? Well, Dr. D doesn't pull any punches right from the start. He will more than likely ask you to lose some weight. We ALL know how hard that is. Don't waste his and your time if you aren't commited to weightloss. This isn't an overnight thing and it will be for the rest of your life, but look at it this way, it is your life and with him you will have it! Lose the weight, do what the nutritionist says, get motivated, get excersizing if you can and lose it! Once you get approved by him it's time to get whichever surgery your going to have and start the rest of your life. rnrnAfter my surgery Dr. D went out to my family and told them how I was doing and really conveyed to them that he really cared how I was. I wasn't JUST another patient, I was HIS patient! He wanted to assure them that all was well and it was. During my stay in the hospital I saw him each day (or Maureen his PA) and both were just wonderful. I felt comforted knowing that once the surgery was over that he didn't just know how I was doing via the nursing staff, he cared. One time when he and Maureen came in I must have been flushed a little because we turned the heat up in my room (it was a cold day and it was coming through the window) and he came over like a dad and felt my cheek to see if I had a fever. How sweet is that? He didn't just look at my charts or asked the nurses (who were also wonderful including Lindsay and Taisha) but he came in and saw for himself that I was ok. What more can anyone ask for in a doctor? rnrnThe staff is wonderfull! I had a call in the Monday after I was released from the hospital and they got back to me right away, got me in and problem solved. They are really there for you. They really want you to succeed! rnrnObviously I can't say enough positive things about Dr. D. You really have to experience him yourself to understand.rnHe is one in a million! And so is his staff!"
