Hello,
Dr. Hugh Houston was a great doctor, who displayed knowledge of his abilities. I picked him after attending one of his seminars in July of 2009. I was very pleased with the outcome of the surgery. Right now I am just dealing with the fatigue. My Doctor is available and very helpful to all of my needs. Posted on 10/27/2009 |

My first visit with Dr. Houston was very informative. He wants to make sure you understand everything about the surgery you chose by getting charts out and explaining every detail to you. He don't beat around the bush on any questions. He's straight forward with his answers.
The office staff there is wonderful.
I can't say there's anything I don't like about Dr. H. He is a great doctor and surgeon. He has a good after care program and really emphasizes to his patients the necessity of doing it for years to come.
I'm very happy I chose Dr. Houston for my doctor/surgeon. Posted on 08/21/2009 |

My first impression of Dr. Houston was very professional, yet personal and friendly.
His office is completely set up to make "us" feel comfortable and his staff is friendly and helpful.
I was very impressed with the hospital care and the after care. They definitely want you to succeed, and they have all the tools for us to do so.
The seminar is VERY informative, with all the pros and cons and the risks involving this surgery.
Then my first appointment with him one on one was not rushed, but patience and more information on the surgery, hospital stay and recovery and after care.
I would rate Dr. Houston excellent in competence and bedside manner! A really nice guy!! Posted on 07/26/2009 |

Dr. Houston is a very skilled lap surgeon, and he is very easy to talk to. He is a little cocky, but I like that. I want my surgeon to be confident in his skills. He and
Centennial staff are great. His staff really
know what they are doing, and are super nice. Posted on 06/20/2009 |

My first impression of Dr. Houston was at the seminar he gave at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, TN--I found him to be informative & a little cocky---both make a great surgeon, in my opinion...:). I had my first one-on-one meeting w/him and my husband & I left the meeting feeling like he would take care of me and do his job well. He took a great amount of time with in my pre-surgery appointment & very quickly made us feel comfortable. He was real & opened up to us about a lot of his views. We appreciated that. His office staff has been great so far. ONE MORE UPDATE: I have to tell everyone that on Monday (over 3 weeks before my surgery date), Dr. Houston called me on my cell phone to check in w/me and ask me if I had any questions. I was really impressed at the fact that... [Click here for more] he called and he was great at answering all my questions (and I had quite a few!) and made me, again, feel completely confident in his abilities & my choice!
MARCH 17, 2009: I had my surgery & I am alive & well to type this...kudos to Dr. H!

Dr. Houston has been wonderful throughout this whole experience. When I first met Dr. Houston we discussed the Duodenal Switch vs the gastric bypass and which one would be the best for me. He gave me a lot to think about and I decided on the duodenal switch. Since my insurance approval I have had lots of questions and Dr. Houston and I have emailed several times. Today he even called me and we talked for about 20 minutes on the phone, I have never had a doctor that would do that. I know that I have made the right choice for me and I could not be happier with my choice. Posted on 02/11/2009 |

Dr. Houston is very nice and tells you like it is. Sometimes I wish he would smile more, but I'm still new to him so maybe over time.
His office staff is wonderful. Holly and Elizabeth are so gret to talk to. They always try to answer your quesions. The dieticians are GREAT!!! I have emailed them so much to ask questions are they are very responsive.
If you're looking for a doctor to baby you and hold your hand this is not Dr. Houston.
His after surgery program is very structured and organized.
Before surgery Dr. Houston addresses the risks that are involved and let's you know how serious they can be.
Overall Dr. Houston is very educated and nice. He knows his stuff! I believe Dr. Houston's surgical competence is his strong point. I highly recommend him. Posted on 01/30/2009 |

My first impression of him was that he was very resonsible and seemed to really care about what my needs were. My impression didn't change over time with Dr. Houston. His office staff has been very polite, especially his front desk assistant, Elizabeth. He addressed all the risks and rewards of surgery and made sure I was completely ready for surgery before he agreed to do surgery. He can be a bit brisk at times, he is very straight to the point which I love about a Dr. but some people may find this off putting. Posted on 01/14/2009 |
