"If you are looking for personal attention, this is not the surgeon for you. Although I think Dr. Barker is a brilliant surgeon and a caring individual, it is ridiculous how overbooked his office is. There were times when I waited 3 hours to see him. I never waited less than an hour and a half. The waiting room always had at least 30 people or more in it. Most times there was no where to sit and overflow was in the hallway. They don't know the meaning of \"OVERBOOKING\" patients. It is just completely ridiculous. And the thing is, I haven't even actually seen Dr. Barker since my last PRE-op appointment before surgery. Since surgery, I've been pawned off on everyone else in the office. His nurse, his PA, his doctor side kick - who is nice, but is not a surgeon and hasn't been in the bariatric profession for very long. Dr. Barker would just run into me in the hallway and wave, \"Hey you look great\". That's it. In the past year, that's it. So, if you don't mind no personal attention and waiting 2-3 hours or more for your appointments, then this is the surgeon for you. Personally, I am fed up."
"The flavor is a little strong, but if you chew fast and swallow quick they are tolerable. Just don't chew them all the way up. I have tried the Passion Fruit."
"I didn't feel safe in this hospital. There were many entrances and exits. No secturity controlling who came in and out of the hospital. The place was old and in a really awful part of town. There were some great nurses, but alot of the staff was rude. I really hated this place."
