"When I first met Dr. Johnson I was at the informational meeting. He appeared very knowledgable. When my husband and I went to meet him face-to-face at my surgical consult I still feel the same way. He truly wants to make sure you are doing this for all the right reasons, and that you understand completely what will be happening to you. The staff at the Bariatric Center has all been wonderful. They were helpful from the start. They understand what you are going through because some of them have done the surgery on themselves. The emphasis on aftercare is HUGE. You are in this for the long hall, there is no turning back once the surgery is complete. I look at the aftercare program as a newborn's doctors visits. I am basically a reborn person, that needs special care initially and that will taper down!!! I would highly recommend Dr. Johnson to anyone and everyone. He is extremely skilled at what he does. My incision is barely 4 inches and it is healing very quick. His bedside manner, in my opinion, is very good. He seem excited to see me when he visited me in the hospital. He wanted to make sure I knew and understood what I would be doing to continue my recover at home. I had a wonderful experience and wouldn't trade it for the world. Thanks Dr. Johnson for caring so much about obesity and helping others."
"I was extremely impressed with this hospital. Prior to surgery the whole process was so through and ran like clock work. Once in my room, my nurses were extremely knowledgable. I had one nurse that was wonderful and I couldn't wait to see her the next day when her shift ended. My nurses made sure I was up and walking as often as possible. They also made sure I was drinking as much as I could. I was confident things would go well at home when I left there. Thanks for the awesome experience."
