"First time I saw Dr. Dakin was when I went with a friend to her post op visit. I was against WLS but once I met him and listened to him talk about it, I was leaning more towards it. I made an appointment to see him myself and he told me I was too high risk for GB but I wanted lap band anyway. He explained it was the least evasive and I would lose slower but I was ok with that, he told me everything I had to do pre op and since I was high risk for surgery, encouraged me to have a filter inserted because I have lupus anticoagulant. He explained all other risks of the surgery as well. The aftercare program was explained to me explicitly. He is a great doctor and would recommend him. His staff is great as well, I get follow up calls, my calls are returned promptly and all my questions are answered even the ones I think are silly, to them there are no silly questions. I referred him to my cousins and they are going to make an appointment with him as well. Only thing I did'nt like was he seemed to down play the lap band..I know you lose slower but th elap band can have some great results too, just slower, I have no problem with slower. Overall, though, he is a great doctor. I think he has both surgical competence and great bedside manner and that is very important and to use both hand in hand is even better."
"I found this hospital to be very accomodating, from start to finish. Staff is excellent and patient, I always felt comfortable there,almost like being home and it was extremely clean"
