" I was very impressed with Dr. Henderson and his office on my first visit. Dr. Henderson answered all of my questions and was very open and honest about the risks vs. benefits for this surgery. My surgery was scheduled according to my work shcedule.
The office staff has always been very polite. My insurance approval was completley (and quickly) handled by them. They have been available to answer any post-op questioins I might have.
Dr. Henderson's bedside manner is okay, but his surgical competence is what made me sure he was the surgeon I wanted. He graduated from Emory, and served in the armed forces. He took a team from SGRMC to train to do LAP RNY, and the physican came to Brunswick to assit with the first cases.
His aftercare program is not as structered as I would like, but you can get wonderful support on obesityhelp.com, and have most of your questions answered. There is a support group that meets the at 7 pm the 3rd Wednesday of every month at SGRMC. Dr. Henderson or Dr. Kent is usually there, and will address any questions. They also schedule special speakers to address issues like exercise, diet and plastic surgery.
I have done wonderfully post-op and had NO complications. The thing that I like most is how proud Dr. Henderson seems of my progress. "
"I can't say enough good things about my hospital experience. From pre-op work up to discharge, all of my needs were met. My nursing care was wonderful, and the only negative I can think of was being left in the hall for 30 minutes follwoing my leak test. (But I think there was going to be some discussion about this!)"
"I enjoyed my consult Becki Kia. She helped me understand my post-op diet, and gave me a list of common foods and their grams of protein. She is an advocate of getting your protein from diet and not supplemental powders."
