"Although Dr. Farmer is not have contact with post operative patients and their success, he is very interested in learning more about the psychological affects surgery has on an individual. He is extremely empathetic toward obese individuals and is very supportive. My surgeon highly recommends Dr. Farmer and his pre-operative assessment. I really liked him. He was very excited for me regarding me having this surgery. "
"Moore Regional has a fine reputation as being an excellent hospital. Although many have various types of experiences, mine was wonderful. Nurses tried their best to respond when you need them, but sometimes it took longer than others, but you will have that no matter where you are."
"I love my surgeon. Dr. Mitchell makes you feel special from the "get go!" He is completely thorough in his pre and post op evaluation. He is extremely knowledgable and skilled as a bariatric surgeon. He is honest and upfront. He doesn't hide anything. I highly recommend Dr. Mitchell!!!!
He is assisted by one other surgeon and three P.A's in his practice. They are all wonderfull and are always available to answer any question you have. To date, when I call I speak to someone. They don't have to call me back. The only incident I experienced was that I called to tell his PA that I suspected that I had thrush. He pretty much dismissed this possibility, however, when Dr. Mitchell prescribed something for thrush, I was no longer had the symptoms after taking the meds.
His office staff are wonderfull as well. His secretary Donna handles all the insurance info. She has an awful lot on her plate, but if you give her time she will complete what is necessary. She really could use a lot more help since his practice is expanding.
I haven't found anything yet that I do not like about Dr. Mitchell. He has kept in close contact with my own physician as to my progress.
He has a great aftercare program. He requires office visit follow-up and for you to attend monthly support group meetings. He encourages his patients to come to his quarterly meetings he has with potential new patients. In fact, while I was in the hospital, he held one of his meetings and he asked me if I wanted to be wheeled down to the meeting to answer questions. I was most eager to speak on his behalf.
Dr. Mitchell is up front and honest about possible risks involved with this Major surgery. He does not beat around the bush.
Dr. Mitchell is "top-notch" in my books. He has awesome bed side manners and makes me feel like I am the only patient he has at the moment. He is truly interested in what I have to say and the is always willing to answer any questions that I may have."
