"I was so very pleased with the staff and care. Have not been in hospital much, and this was very good experience all around starting with greeters at the door , the thoughful use of very large hospital gowns! thus keeping down the flashing others. All staff were busy but really careful with checking who you were,, their records to your braclet and verbal birthdate. The care once in the room was really great. To be as busy as they were , all made it seem as if they had good time for the patient. And all were in such good humor.
This is why all the "excellent" answers.

"Good impression, had heard he was very good.
kept good impression over time
Office team is excellent. Most helpful and open.
did not have a least like.
Honest, stright forward with surgeon get the job done. He is effecient and covers all bases.
The aftercare IS the most important of course with WLS. We are able to lose weight, but not able to manage keeping it off. So aftercare comes right in there after good surgery.
Yes, structured program with pre care and classes on nutriation and excerise. Johnny and Kelly have been most helpful.
Sat in first consultation and addressed the risk, we also had printed material. And reading everything before hand that one can get hands on about the surgery, even before stepping foot in the office.
I think he is excellent surgeon. I sure have had no problems, came through surgery in an hour and very good recovery due to care at Parkwest.
I really think surgical competence (or my faith in the competence) is most important. Bedside manner, just did not see that much of the surgeon except in prep and a visit before leaving. This has to be expected with busy doctor. On my first follow up I got all questions answered by all concerned. Eugene also is an added plus in this office.
I had nothing negative to say due to this, at my age of 63, being my my second surgical experience and both were excellent. My only other was in a hospital staffed with nuns and THAT was a wonderful experience. This one was equally good all around. Even supplied us with LARGE gowns to wrap around and save our diginity!"
