Surgeon Testimonial

Glen Moore, M.D.
I really like Dr. Moore and his support staff. They have all been very helpful and supportive at every level so far. My first impression of Dr. Moore was that he was very sincere. He spoke frankly and did not sugar-coat anything, which I like. The office staff at the Surgical Weight Loss Center is wonderful. They've all been so helpful. Quick to return calls, answering questions, and being very positive. Initially, I did have a set back with getting all the required paperwork together and I sorta got the feeling I was being pushed to the back burner because I couldn't get a date. But, when I spoke up and said "I want a date", that it will help me motivate myself a little more so that I feel like I have a first goal in place, I got my date. And now, my paperwork is on it's way.

Future patients might like to know that Dr. Moore has a wonderful nature about him. He is sincere and very caring. Aftercare is a very important factor in the WLS's guidelines. A structure aftercare network and program is in place for after the surgery, but, patients or prospective patients are encouraged to become involved post-surgery as well.

The risks of surgery were discussed frankly and truthfully. As were the risks of not having the surgery.

I believe everyone has the potential for improvement no matter how "good, great" they are at what they do, so, I would rate Dr. Moore at a strong 9 on a 10 point scale.

So far, I believe surgical competence and beside manner are great.

    Just came across your site and wanted to say we have a lot in common. I had my RNY 11-14-07 and have lost 89 pounds to date. Also, I have a little male maltese named "Gulliver". He is so cute and the 2nd love of my life. Congrats on your weight loss. Isn't it FUN! I've never exercised so much in my life...but enjoying the ride. katie3314

I'm approved! 11/12/07
Today is a great day!  

The surgical co-ordinator from Dr. Moore's office called this morning to tell me that I had received my approval for surgery!     I'm so thrilled, what a way to start a Monday (a good way).  I felt a little numb at first but thrilled just the same.  My surgery date is November 21, 2007.  I can't believe it's only 9 days away.  First thing I did after hearing from Donna was call my best friend, Lo (    ), to share the news with her.  And, as expected, she added more excitement to my day with her positivity and enthusiasm.   I don't know where I'd be without her.  Most likely I'd be wearing one of those really fashionable white-wrap around jackets, you know the kind I'm talking about... yeah, the one with the neat tie in the back.     Then I called my husband (today is also our wedding anniversary   --how great is that?).  He is very happy for me also.  Next I called my sister and my mom to share with them my great news.  Where do you go from here?  

More later, Luv
