Surgeon Testimonial

Robert Davis, M.D.
The first time I met Dr. Robert Davis, I felt at ease with him because he showed his level of expertise. I chose Dr. Davis because of his low complication rates and because he and his son (Dr. Garth Davis)both operate together. That made me feel at ease knowing that two skilled experts were going to operate on me. rnWhat I did not like about Dr. Robert Davis is that he had an assistant instead of him come and follow up with me a week after the surgery. I was told by another patient to insist to see him next time. I figured since his office is always full of people, that he was busy. rnDr. Robert Davis works with the Methodist Hospital (Weight Management Dept.)to assist patients after WLS as a support. I have been going to the support groups since my surgery at The Methodist Hospital. Dr. Davis highly encourages attending support groups for better success rate.rnFuture patients should know that he is vey skilled and has many, many years of gastrointestinal experience. rnIn my opinion, surgical competence is more important than bedside manner. I only saw Dr. Davis twice during my stay at the hospital; right before surgery and the day after surgery in my room. He popped in and went right out. I didn't mind because I knew that he was busy. The fact that I didn't see him that much did not bother me at all but rather what was more important was his level of expertise in performing the surgery. In comparison to other doctors that I had researched, I feel that I made the best choice in choosing Dr. Robert Davis because my surgery went smoothly and I have not had complications since my surgery.rn

It has been a little over a month since my surgery.  I feel great.  I had my first wow moment on Monday, 08/25/08.  I'm a special education teacher at a middle school and on the first day back, I was able to fit in my student's desks!!!!!  I was soooo happy because prior, I would have to squeeze into the desks and it was always very uncomfortable.  In addition, I have more energy, my joints don't hurt as much anymore (still do, but not as much) and my clothes fit much nicer.  I also notice that I am building more confidence with myself and I feel prettier.
