I love Dr. Hargroder. They are wonderful people. He does group sessions with people on Friday mornings and then meets with everybody individually. He really takes his time to explain everything and answer any and all questions. Mrs. Cindy is a doll. She does whatever she can to help. A+++ To everybody there! Posted on 05/10/2008 |

I first met Dr. Hargroder in his conference room with about 40 other people. He talked to all of us at the same time to explain the different types of weight loss surgery and the risks and advantages of each one. He was very patient and answered all our questions.
Since that day, the only time I have seen him is the day of surgery and the day of release from the hospital. Otherwise, I have only seen his PA, Holly. She is very nice and knowledgeable but I PAID to see the Doctor.
Dr. Hargroder's staff are all very nice, but a bit scattered and unorganized. They recently had to move to a new building and hospital, but even before that, they were same way.
They didn't right my name down on the appointment register for my first post-op visit. The doctor was already gone and so... [Click here for more] was most of the staff. We had to contact Holly and ask her to come back to the office to see me since I had traveled 40 miles to go for my post-op visit.
There is a support group every week for Dr. Hargroder and Dr. Bellanger's patients. It is very informative and you get good support from others who have had weight loss surgery.
There really is not a structured aftercare program. If I did not follow up myself, I believe I would NOT be contacted by anyone in his office.
I think Dr. Hargroder is an excellent surgeon, and he has a great bedside manner. However, he has his hands in too many endeavors to give good individualized attention to his patients and his staff is ultimately just as busy. I believe he needs to slow down and smell the roses so to speak.
I will say that if you INSIST on seeing Dr. Hargroder rather than his PA, you will see him.
Overall, mine has been a good experience, but I have had to follow up on things myself to make sure everything that needs to be done is done.

Excellent... I was very pleased with my outcome (so far) I didn't even need pain medication following surgery... I would have enjoyed it, but I was too afraid of getting nauseated... and as it turned out, I didn't even need them. My whole experience was pretty near perfect. Posted on 12/22/2007 |

Dr. Hargroder is a personable, friendly man who seems to seriously empathize with the obese patient. He always treats me with the utmost respect and kindness, answering all my questions in a professional and caring manner.
His office staff, including Cindy, who is the person I know most at this point, shares the empathy and caring attitude which is displayed by Dr. Hargroder.
There is an active support group associated with Dr. H's practice.
Over all I would rate Dr. H as a 10 out of 10 !!! Posted on 12/20/2007 |
