Dr. Valentine is wonderful. Although he ran over on previous surgeries and mine was 2 hours late getting started. His office staff is the best they know you by name. they always take the time to talk to you and when you meet with Dr. Valentine he makes you feel like you are his only patient giving you his undevided attention. I have recommended him to several of my friends and family.

I like Dr. Valentine very much. He is a wonderful surgeon, upfront and honest about how many surgeries he's done, complications, risks, benefits, everything. Answered all of my, and my husband's questions. Did not rush us or make us feel like we were taking too much of his time. His bedside manner is great. He saw me everyday I was in the hospital. His PA, Annie is wonderful as well. The entire staff is great. Went out of their way to accomodate the fact that I live out of the area, and needed Dr. and nutritionist appointments together. Great aftercare. Would recommend Dr. Valentine and his staff to anyone.

Dr.V did my sister, my and my mother's RNY gastric bypass, he was great to work with and his staff was excellent. when the hospital tried to send me additional charges when I'd already prepaid and had left 1 day early, they took care of it immediately by contacting the hospital. I called late at night on day 1 or 2 cause I was scared of the pain and bruising and Dr. V assured me I was just healing, and he was right.

he changed our lives and we are all healthier and happier for it.

My first impresion of Dr. Valentine was a great one! The guy knows what he's doing and answers all questions asked!!!rnrnMy impression of Dr. Valentine changed a little bit. He is a nice guy cares for his patients and has great bedside manners when it comes to the hospital stay!rnrnDr. Valentines Nampa clinic is the best. They told me what to do in order for me to prepare my surgery! They sent me alot of information like 3 days after I first called them! Danielle, Ricky Annie there all really nice!!! rnrnThere is nothing about Dr. Valentine that I don't like. rnrnHe is a great Dr. who is very well to his patients! Very caring and the type of Dr. you would want for this type of surgery. He rocks! rnrnDr. Valentine emphasizes alot after your surgery! He is always on call and will call you back personally if his staff cant.rnrnDr. Valentine has a very structured aftercare plan that is pretty much easy to follow nothing about this surgery is as hard as it sounds! rnrnDr. Valentine had pictures showing me what could happen. He was straight forward with it he didn't lie and he told me everything could be risky but everything turned out great! rnrnI give dr. Valentine a 10!!!! the best!!!rnrnBOTH GREAT!!!!

I had seen Dr. Valentine when my friend had him do a gastric bypass two years ago, so I knew he was nice, but was surprised when he came in all business, barely introduced himself, & did not shake my hand, either coming or going! rnNot a great first impression, & I started second guessing my choice! They do an open informational seminar with a video of an actual surgery though, & I wanted my husband to see & hear what I was going to go through, so we went. What a change to get the doctor out of the confines of the office! He was personable, but the icing on the cake came when my husband actually walked out of the room and FAINTED in the hall during the surgery video! Dr. Valentine and his nurse Annie got him juice, monitored his pulse, iced his face & neck, treating him kindly - assuring him this was not unusual, & had him laughing at stories of other things that have happened at various past seminars. When we got back in the room Dr. Valentine pulled out pictures of his daughter's track meet! Absolutely different from the office visit, and I imagine the \"all Business\" tone was in regard to the seriousness of what I am about to undertake. In subsequent visits he has been relaxed, and fun to talk to. I am THRILLED to have him as my Doctor! Every one of his office staff is awesome, too! It is obvious they work well together, and each add their own unique personality to a helpful and pleasant office visit. I highly recommend Dr. Valentine!

Good Dr. he gives good and through explanations. Friendly yet serious when appropriate. rnHe told me up front and in detail what my risks were and what were the chances of dying from the surgery.rnHis office staff is great. His PA is concerned, friendly, and very supportive. The rest of the staff is efficient and friendly. rnSo far I like Dr. Valentine and his staff.

Dr. Valentine is awesome! So is Annie, Dr. Valentine's physician assistant. And, Ricci, Valerie, Danielle, and Karen. Couldn't have made it without them. rnrn

Great surgeon and office staff. Dr. Valentine did both my bypass and my gallbladder. Very impressed with both. Would definately recommend (and have) to anyone wanting a professional and competent surgeon, and who doesn't want that! :)

Dr. Valentine took the time to discuss with me changing my lap band to gastric bypass. He told me all the pros and cons and what I could expect with the bypass.rnrnI had the revision and am very happy with it!rnrnThe office staff are very caring and helpful.

When I first met Dr Valentine he was all business becuase of the seriousness of the surgery I am sure. When I decided weather or not to have it and came for my next appt. He was very warm and reasuring. He is a wonderful Dr. and I could not find the words to say thank you to him for the changes in my life for the better. Know that he might not be jolly for the first appt. but he needs to get across to the new patient the seriousness of the surgery, but he is warm and a truely skilled surgon... He is very informative and makes sure you know the score by the time you leave your first appt. Both his surgical competence and bedside manner are fantastic would recommend him to anyone in my family.
