Surgeon Testimonial

Gary Harrington, M.D.
My surgeon, Dr. Harrington, is relocating his practice to the MD/DC area, and is a partner in the practice of Dr. Terrence Fullum. I attended Dr. Harrington's pre-op informational session at Washington Adventist Hospital in April, and again in May. I found his Powerpoint presentation very informative, he is clear about the risks of morbid obesity and the risks of gastric bypass surgery. He emphasizes aftercare, and there is a support group for post-ops held at the hospital each month. My consultation with Dr. Harrington was May 5th and I found him to be very friendly and he was happy to answer all of my questions.
