"12/15/03 Prior to my office visit I read the reviews by the patients on this site. I sort of knew what to expect since I heard Dr. Prickett speak at the Southern Surgical WLS Seminar. During my appointment, Dr. Prickett was very nice and made sure to answer all of my questions. He again expalined the surgery in detail with the benefits and possible complications and asked to to affirm that this was the direction that I wanted to go. I also was impressed with everyone on his staff. At this time I have nothing negative bad to say."
