"My first impression of Dr. Herron uhmmm, He was answering my questions so quickly like boom, boom, boom, I was kinda praying I made the right choice in selecting him, but he's turning out to be a good choice as I do more investigating, and I'm not finished yet ... I have a few more weeks before surgery. I guess he hears the same questions all the time so he was basically giving me the speach. But, in any case he was was very thorough and prepared in answering all my questions (even brought in paper to draw what my stomach would look like after surgery), he did not skim or shy away from "MY" high risk questions such as mortally rates, anesthesia fears, surgerical complications, types of proceures (Lap or incision) and he was very direct and honest, he also showed patiences in giving me time to think about my discisson of getting the surgery.
Overall impression ... no change, he seems confident.
Dr. Herron's immediate staff, Nurse, Assistant was great ... kind and answered most of my questions ... the front desk appointment people maybe because it was almost 5:00 PM quiting time they were somewhat more interested in getting out of the office on time then servicing me.
Have not reached that stage yet of aftercare.
Dr. Herron addressed all major facets of wls risk.
Overall I give Dr. Herron a rate of 90% his staff makes up the 5% and God completes them with 100%. I'm putting myself in God's hands not Dr. Herron's he's only the tool God will use to do the job.
Which is better surgical competence or bedside manner ... BOTH!!!!!!"
