"****Update: I had my surgery on 11/16/2005 and my impression of Dr. Scarborough was correct. He is an awesome surgeon. I woke up and had no pain from my incisions, only form the air they blow you up with during laproscopy procedures. My incisions healed quickly, some you 3 you can't really see anymore and its only been 3 weeks! My mother liked him also and said from the time she met him until my surgery she felt reassured that he was competent and would take care of me and my mom is VERY critical , especially when it comes to someone dealing with her kids! I know this all sounds good and everyone says no one is perfect, but Dr. Scarborough's bedside manner to his surgical skills, I really don't think there is much room for improvement. I still give him a 10.
8/30/2005 My first impression of him was that he's probably one of those shy guys that really darn good at what he does. So far my impression has remained unchanged except at the WLS seminar I got to see his sense of humor and he seems to be a funny guy. He drew diagrams on my chart to make sure I understood the types of WLS and what the risks are, how many deaths he's had and what his opinion of me and my risks were. So far I'd give him a 10. I'll update if and once I get surgery. I find surgical copetence to be most important--- a doctor could be a jerk as long as he got me there and back, but Dr. Scarborough seems to be both a good mix of surgical competence and he has a decent bedside manner too. His office staff has been so prompt with getting me appointments and they're all been so kind and patient when I call almost every other day, Connie and LaShawn were wonderful! "
