"I was referred to Dr. Bonnor for bariatric surgery by another doctor after recovering from blood clots in my lungs. With no specific cause found for the blood clots, weight loss was a strong preventive step for future episodes. It has been 4 months since the gastric sleeve surgery and repair of a hiatal hernia.
Dr. Bonnor is very professional and personable and was able to answer my many questions. He took the time to be reassuring even though his office hours were very limited during this period when he was completing a fellowship in plastic surgery to enhance his practice. He also made the extra effort to coordinate with my referring doctor for special procedures related to blood clot prevention. I received excellent follow up care although I had only a minor issue with one slow-healing incision.
The office staff is also excellent. They understand the insurance approval process well and were able to advise and guide me. All requests were handled quickly and efficiently. They were also willing to communicate through email and requested progress photos of my incision when an office visit wasn't convenient to my work schedule.
I'm very pleased with the results of the surgery so far - significant weight loss and full stop or reduction in medications for diabetes, hypothyroidism, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. I feel healthier with more freedom of movement and more energy.
