Surgeon Testimonial

Donald Waldrep, M.D.
Its been a little over 7 months since my surgery, and I still feel the same way about Dr. Waldrep as I did when I first met him during my orientation meeting. He's professional, caring, thorough, and very competent. Dr. Waldrep takes the time to go over not only the benefits of surgery, but a realistic look at what is involved, both during the surgery itself as well as the aftercare, including the risks. Although I had to wait to see him during my initial appointment, it was worth it to know that he would take whatever time was needed to answer my questions. I received ample information, both verbally and in written form, and always felt that if I had any questions at all, he would honestly answer them for me. His staff is wonderful, and I really like his new NP, Deanna. From my research as well as my experience it is apparent that Dr. Waldrep is a highly skilled surgeon, and I feel fortunate to have been able to have him oversee my care.

Waiting for my appointment
posted on 1/29/09 11:53 am
Don’t know why I’m so nervous to talk to my pcp about getting a referral.  I’m past the point of feeling embarrassed about my weight with her.  I don’t think it’s the judgment about my fat.  I think it’s that I really want this, and if she has a negative reaction it’s just going to prolong the wait even more and cause me to have to struggle even more to get this done.  I’ve gone over how I’m going to explain my decision in my head – over and over I’ve thought about it.  I know I’m over thinking this, but it’s hard not to, and I really don’t want to start over with another pcp and have to wait once again.  Anyway, just a few hours till I’ll know…
