"He was very interested in me. He took a lot of time talking to me, my niece and my sister. He wanted to know what I knew about the surgery so make sure you go with a basic understanding of the surgery and the post-op. He seems to be very interested in helping me to understand everything that is involved in the process from insurance problems to a life change in eating and exercise habits. He has encouraged me to lose as much weight as possible and exercise as much as possible before the surgery so that I will be in better shape and recover quicker. I am so ready. He is a great person. His office staff is great. Lisa scheduled all the appointments I would need and set me up to come back for second visit.
Second visit was also good. Here we scheduled some more tests so that we were sure I was able to survive the surgery. We discussed the possibility of open because of my hysterectomy scars. Encouraged me to lose as much weight as possible and to exercise as much as possible to get into better shape for the surgery. Worked with Lisa again to schedule appointments and tests for surgery.
In just a little over a week after the last test, insurance approval was given. I have my third appointment with Dr. Hart on October 21st to sign consent forms.
Dr. Hart has a wonderful bedside manner. He is very supportive of our local support group WINGS. He has made visits to our meetings to explain the procedure to us and he is helping us with out holiday party. He is a great guy!!"
"I found Dr. Crisp after my other PCP said I wasn't fat enough to consider WLS, I just need to cut down on what I ate. I am 285 pounds and I have dieted all my life. Dr. Crisp gave me a complete physical on my first visit and immediatly wrote a letter of referral to Dr. Christopher Hart."
