"rnDr. \"J\" did my Lap-Band surgery five years ago and everything went smoothly. Not only is he a top notch, brilliant surgeon, but he is kind, caring and compassionate. Another surgeon removed my band without my permission and did not replace it, nor did he attempt to repair the slip. I gained 60 pounds before returning to Dr. \"J\" for help. rnrnHe suggested the sleeve this time as he felt it was a better option. Even though another surgeon had been involved, he did the sleeve for me as a revision and did not charge me. Medicare would not pay because they consider the sleeve too new. I did have to pay the hospital costs and feel the he gave me a second chance to succeed. Sandy McCoy, his P.A. is also wonderful. They are both involved in follow-up and aftercare. The office staff in congenial, but the wait for your appointment is often quite long., I would rate him the top bariatric surgeon in Dallas, or anywhere else for that matter and he has been given that designation several years in a row by D Magazine. Competence and bedside manner are important and he is superb at both. If you are considering bariatric surgery, please talk to Dr. \"J\" before you decide on a surgeon. In my opinion, He is just simply the best there is!"
