"My first impression was overall a good one.
It has not changed over time.
The office staff is very nice and caring. They made me feel like I had been a patient for several years with the attention they showed for all my personal details.
He seems like he does not have a good sense of humor, I use humor to ease myself in a stressful situation such as life changing surgery. While this is not nessacarily a bad thing, I was uncomfortable after making a joke that didn't go over well.
I made my choice of Dr. Hall basied on researching his history as a surgean, the ratings found on this site and the first meeting with him. All of these factors showed him to be great at what he does. This was reaffirmed by all the staff I came into contact with at two different facilities where I had my pre-op testing done and I had not even asked for the information.
His emphasize on aftercare is very strong, I received the aftercare packet before my surgery and was told to read over it 5 times and contact the office with any questions, I went through a pre surgery consult with a dietation to be sure I understood fully the lifetime diet requirements.
His office also offers a monthly group meeting for patients.
Surgery risks are covered in an orientation presentation with the doctor and a few patients, this was not rushed and questions were greatly incouraged.
I would rate Dr. Hall very high.
Both are great but surgical competence is better.
