Journey Clinic Bariatric Center

I have only met Dr. Nelson once. I will be seeing her again on the 31st of January for prep classes for surgery on the 12th of February! Hurray for me! Will review more about Dr. Nelson when I know more. Her staff have all been amazing so far. Love the Dietitian, Abby Banks! UPDATE: Tomorrow is surgery!!!
I love Dr. Nelson, she is awesome. Had some issues after surgery while in the hospital and she stayed and checked on me until late in the evening. Most doctors would have went home. She is also very thorough. I would recommend to anyone!!!

Dr Nelson and her staff have been great so far. I live about 140 miles away and they have been very helpful scheduling my pre-op visits labs,physical therapy,psych eval and dietitian visits with the least amount of driving. I had my pre op consult with Dr Nelson on 7-11-11 to set my RNY surgery date. My surgery date is set for 8-2-11. The time has passed fast since my first visit because Journey Clinic has had everything very organized. I had my RNY on 8-2-11 it went great Dr Nelson is the best.

My first impression of Dr. Nelson is that she is awesome! She is very knowledgeable, professional, and kind. She has a good program and makes everything "doable" for her patients. Her office staff is friendly, no complaints. I have no complaints about her or her staff!

I would recommend Dr. Nelson hands down! At all times I felt like I was being well taken care of. She was very cautious and thurough. I can't think of any negative aspects of any part of the journey to or after my surgery!

I'm very happy with my choice of Dr Nelson. She is very down to earth and never rushed. She always had time to talk and I dont feel like she is talking above my head. I'm amazed at how many people she see's that she can remember the smallest detail and things we talked about in the past.rnrnThe office staff has always been very friendly and helpful. I have never called the office and not recieved a call back the very same day, usually within a small time window.rnrnDr Nelson is very good on aftercare. She is very interested in how you are doing, what you are eating and your excerise program. She can be strick but that's good, you know you will have to answer to someone so that keeps you accountable.

Dr. Nelson is wonderful. She is very caring and straight forward. Her staff is very pleasant and caring.rnrnDr. Nelson wants you to follow up and do diet classes after surgery to insure your success.rnrnOn a scale from 1 - 10 I would give Dr. Nelson a 15. I could not have found a better doctor for me.

Dr. Nelson is an excellent surgeon, professional, and very kind. My positive impression of her has only increased as I have gone through my surgery and am now in post op follow-up. She was up front, honest, very knowledgeable and caring. Pre-op teaching, after care and patient follow-up were strongly emphasized and are carried out in an organized and personalized manner. All the risks of surgery were explained both in oral and written fashion. I had absolutely no qualms about having Dr. Nelson do my surgery. I am so happy with my choice of surgeon and I can highly recommend her to anyone. She is associated with a Bariatric Center of Excellence and it certainly was apparent. I would rate Dr. Nelson an A+ for her surgical skill, bedside manner, and professionalism.

She is wonderfully intelligent, caring, and straight forward. I'm pleased with her and would recommend her no-nonsense manner to anyone.

I am very impressed with my surgeon she seems to be very caring and devoted to her patients..I know I am/will be in good hands with Dr.Nelson..
Its been 3 years ago yesterday that I had my gastric bypass and im very pleased with my success..I have had a few other health problems but had nothing to do with the weight loss surgery and if I had to do it all over again I would..
Dr. Lana Nelson "ROCKS"..Thankyou so much for what you have done for me:)

I really liked Dr. Nelson when I met her. SHe explained things clearly. She told me her concerns about me personally in having surgery and wanted to make sure she had a letter from my cardiologist saying he was behind the surgery. When I asked her how many patients she had lost in this type of surgery she answered me without making any excuses. One. I appreciated her honesty. Her staff, and indeed all the staff I have dealt with at the OWLO clinic and also Norman Regional Hospital have been kind and caring. They answer phone calls and questions with great professionalism. I recommend them highly. I could have picked a surgeon/hospital closer to me,(Norman is 4 1/2 hours away), but I am glad I went with them. I would never change
