"My first impression of Dr. Argotte was that he is very direct,no nonsense to the point.
He took considerable time explaining to me the surgery he preforms. I feel confident that he is a very competent surgeon, and does have somewhat of a dry sense of humor after all. His staff is very helpful. I have had to call them on numerous ocassions to ask questions about test, and they have all been very helpful. Dr. Argotte places much emphasizes on aftercare. He told me that I would have to have regular visits the 1st year, then would have to return once a year for the rest of my life. He has a very structured aftercare program, and works closely with the dietican. I feel that Dr. Argotte was very open and honest with me about the surgery. He explained that there are risks involved, and that he will do everything possible to try to prevent any problems, such as he will implant the vena cava screens a couple of days before my WLS. I would rate him a 10. On my 1st visit, I thought he lacked bedside manner, but I was so very wrong. He is an excellent caring doctor who had done everything possible to make me at ease, and educate me on WLS. I think he is an excellent competent surgeon. He takes EVERY precaution to care for his patients. THANK YOU for saving me Dr. Argotte."
