"Dr. Fallang presented a five-hour educational program on this surgery. He appears to be very caring and supportive. He also will very willing to share his past experiences and set backs.
His office staff appeared to be very professional and wanting to take their time with each person and not rush for sake of time.
After care was one of the key points of his presentation. He stated that this must be a team effort and we both must be on the same walk to a new self. He also stated he has an aftercare program every two months and welcomes each of us to join them. I did recently attend one of the support meetings and it was very helpful.
He also spoke at length about the risk of this surgery. When questions were asked he addressed them.
He appears to be a very professional doctor; I just wish I did not live 4 1/2 hours away. I look forward to having him work with me in the creation of my new self.
The only negative I can think of was proptness. But in this field of work it is easy for my self to overlook this issue, an hope he will countinue to be this caring and taking his time with me."
"Recently I was not aware I needed to have a review with a nutritionist until I was at the doctor's office over the week-end. I was informed of Mary Lou from the doctor's office and she was able to fit me into her calendar while I was in town. She was very accommodating to my mother and I.
Mary Lou was a very good listener and very supportive of this surgery. On her report she added a note asking that I keep her update on my surgery and progress. I am glad I had this review completed near my doctor's office and in turn they were aware of the surgery, risk, the doctor and the changes I will need to go through.
With the ranking of "good" in the obesity-specific section was due to her office is located upstairs and could be a hurdle for some. But, she did ask if it was a problem to walk up stairs. She also has had appointments at the doctor's office in the past.
