Surgeon Testimonial

Thomas Clark
My first impression of Dr. Clark is that he truly cares about his patients and wants us to become healthier and happier people. He outlines all the risks and benefits and will answer any question you have. He stresses that aftercare is extremely important to our success after WLS. So far I am extremely pleased with him and the WLS program is very well organized. His office staff are friendly and professional and always there for you when you have a question or a problem. rnrnDr. Clark, is one of the BEST Surgeons. Low Complication rates, Successful patients, fantastic support team. Awesome office staff. He doesn't to Laproscopic, but he makes the timiest 3 1/2 inch incison. He's awesome. Can't recommend a better surgeon. Come to VA to have your Surgery with Dr. Clark!!!

    Hi Jane, I just want to thank you for your candid posts and for the photos that you've so graciously shared with all of us. I'm having an abdominal lipectomy in two days and it's given me a true view of what I can expect. Hope you are feeling better about your surgery. I'll bet that they're right and that once your swelling has subsided you'll be very satisfied. Thanks again, Julie

I attended Dr. Clark's Seminar this week. It was very informative and he stressed that this was not magic or easy in any way. He seems like a very caring doctor and stresses post-op care and support, which I feel is essential to your success. I feel pretty confident going to Dr. Clark and am happy with my choice of doctor. His office is supposed to call me to set up my insurance approval. BC/BS is supposed to be pretty receptive to the surgery and having a PPO is helpful as well. I discussed the surgery with my husband and after hearing me out he said he would support me in my decision but is concerned about the 1 in 200 death rate. My mother really wants me to have it done. She has several friends that have had the surgery and says that they look and feel great and almost all of their health problems have disappeared. I need to do this. I'm just getting fatter and yo-yoing on Atkins for two years has actually made me fatter. I'm Ready To change my life!
