Presbyterian Dallas
"Typically, gastric bypass patients are on one floor of the hospital, but that floor was full so I was on a different floor where the medical staff was not as familiar with the specific needs of post-gastric bypass patients. However, they remained supportive and helpful."

James Davidson
"Dr. Davidson is a no-nonsense type of person who believes in getting down to business and doing what's right for his patients. He likes to quiz his patients on what we've been taught through the edicational program required prior to surgery. I remember in my initial consultation with him, he asked me what were the two main causes of death from the surgery (leaks and blood clots). It was emphasized during the educational seminar that Dr. Davidson uses 3 methods to stop leaks - staples, oversewing and surgical glue. He personally had me up and walking the evening of my surgery, taking the catheter out of me himself when there wasn't a nurse around! He's a firm believer in getting up and walking on a regular basis while in the hospital. To me, just as important as the surgeon is the office staff. Dr. Davidson's staff is supportive and very organized. They care about their patients and are committed to after care so that we can be as healthy and successful as possible following surgery. The day after surgery, Diana came by the hospital with a bag of goodies (water bottle, shot glass, protein powder) and taught me how to use my new pouch. She poured some water into the shot glass and had me drink it, then a couple of sips more until I felt the full sensation. They also have a structured after care program with support group meetings and nutritional education at regular intervals. They also offer an exercise program for an additional cost. Overall, I am delighted Dr. Davidson was on my insurance so I could benefit from his excellent surgical skills, no-nonsense approach and caring staff. I highly recommend Dr. Davidson to anyone searching for a surgeon. "
