"FIRST IMPRESSION: Intelligent and knows his profession
IMPRESSION CHANGE: After seeing him while doing my surgery and then my husband's I came to understand that Dr. Olsen just wants what is best and since he knows the best way to get just that he's very set in his methods of treatment. I've come to trust him more and more over the past few months and I trusted him a lot in the beginning!
OFFICE STAFF: Friendly, competent, and REAL!!! (Some have had gastric bypass and know what I'm going through).
LEAST LIKE: Hard to get to know - all business; which in the end doesn't really matter but some people may be put off by this and not be able to get past his seemingly stand-offish mannerisms
FUTURE PATIENTS KNOW: He is a PIONEER in laproscopic surgery and knows 100% what he is doing --- TRUST HIM!
AFTERCARE: Ohhhh...he's very strict about this and will NOT take no for an answer!
STRUCTURED AFTERCARE?: Yes! Even including monthly psychiatriac meetings with a reknowned psychologist at no extra cost!
RISKS: Not downplayed but forthright and blunt, as it should be!!!
OVERALL RATE: 10+!!!
BETTER at Surgical competence, but I don't care - that's what I paid him for; not to be my friend!

"After seeing Dr. Langworthy for almost 10 years I had pretty much concluded that he was an excellent doctor although quite busy. His busy schedule seemed to make him seem unattached in a way at times. That was until the day I finally went to him to talk to him about WLS. The emotions I had about my weight and that I carried with me were a total shock to me when I asked his opinion. I became emotional, which isn't something I do in a doctor/patient relationship. To see Dr. Langworthy tear up when I cried was the most validating experience I've had in a long time! To have a health professional 'get it' put one of my worst fears about trying to get WLS to rest. I was so afraid I had put my hopes into something that wasn't meant to be. I KNOW IT IS NOW!!! "
