"April 2003--Dr. Voellinger is a surgeon with both the Charlotte Surgical Group and Presbyterian Center for Bariatrics. He is a very comfortable person to speak with. In very understandable wording, he gave me a lot of important information about WLS, it's risks, procedures, required lifestyle changes, and more. He listened carefully to my questions and answered every one of them without hesitation. The office visit was not rushed; it lasted about an hour. He has a great bed-side manner. I'm looking forward to him performing a Lap Rny surgery on me in a couple months.
December 2003--Dr. Voellinger is an excellent surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner and sincere compassion. His office has a very structure aftercare program and support group for both pre- and post-ops. He is co-director of the brand new Presbyterian Center for Bariatrics. His staff is genuinely helpful and courteous, and most of them have undergone weight loss surgery with very successful results."
"Dr. Smith treats psychological problems with expedient and highly efficient means. She is also a caring individual, willing to offer all assistance possible."
"Barbara is an expert nutritionist with lots of information available based on the individuals dietary needs. She is also a very warm and caring person with whom it is easy to speak. "
"The staff was excellent in trying to meet my needs day and night. This was the longest off-and-on stay (33 days from July 28 to Sept. 9) that I've ever experienced, and I felt that I was in very good hands with all but one (of a dozen or two) nurses. The dieticians tried to aid my eating situation in every way possible to them. The radiology department worked with me very well, taking special care during my periods of nausea. My surgeons and other doctors were concise, caring, and overall excellent in their treatment."
"Dr. Locklear is a very caring and intelligent family physician. He never condescends to his patients or rushes them. He is a careful listener and a positive influence. No matter how sick I am, I almost always leave his office with a smile on my face. He has been my family physician since I was a teenager. When I have tried other doctors due to relocations, I have found that they just can't compare, and I've always returned to his care."
