"My first impression of Dr. Lord was that he was cocky but I really didn't care because he has had no deaths so he could be cocky I would to if I was a great surgeon. My impression didn't change over time I have always trusted that Dr. Lord is a excellent surgeon and I would be in great hands on the big surgery day. When I had my surgery everything went great Dr. Lord did his magic and I had no problems, the nurses on the bariatric floor are very nice and eager to please you they are the best nurses I have ever had caring for me. Dr. Lord makes sure that you are informed of any complications and risk of surgery before and afterwards. I love Dr. Lord as a Doctor and surgeon but I must say that his beside manners are not good as well as his patient relations at least not with me they weren't. I would highly recommend Dr. Lord to anyone looking into having gastric bypass surgery."
