Century City Hospital

"Century City Doctor’s Hospital is a unique facility. It is a smaller hospital in comparison with the other area hospitals, but don’t let that keep you from using this facility. The staff is wonderful and the professionals are very experienced. I was concerned that with a hospital of this size, that the knowledge and experience level of the staff would be lesser…this is VERY untrue. The entire staff is the best from the nurses to the surgeons to the attending physicians. They were able to handle some very serious complications I had, without any problems. The only downside is the parking, which is underneath the building but is expensive. And there is not cafeteria (yet)…only a restaurant. "

J. Timothy Katzen

"Dr. Katzen is the most extraordinary professional I have ever met. His office staff are just wonderful and extremely helpful. Dr. Katzen is extremely knowledgeable about his profession and he has extensive experience with working on bariatric patients and understands the specific issues that we, as bariatric patients face and the special challenges we present as surgical patients. He has a team of professionals that also have extensive knowledge, compassion and understanding and can address any issues that may arise. I have had several procedures performed by Dr. Katzen over the last 3 years and would not hesitate a minute to have another procedure done by his hands. He not only is an expert in his field of practice, but he genuinely cares about the safety and well being of his patients. He is very attentive to you, will take as long as you need to explain things and answer questions, and will do everything he can to make your experience as easy and comfortable as possible. "

John Husted

" I have found a most wonderful surgeon in Dr. Husted. His staff is phenominal. They treat you as if you were their best friend and only patient. You couldn't want anyone else. You couldn't find anyone better, and take my word for it, I've seen many!"

Delete - Predigested Liquid Protein- Wild Cherry

"Has a strong flavor similar to Ludens cough drops( you can dilute it in water), and DOES contain some sugar which might be a problem for some post ops. 3 Tablespoons provide 18 grams of protein and 5 grams of sugar."

DELETE Citrical Plus Magnesium Calcium Citratate

"These are big pills, but can be disolved in water for gastric bypass patients. This is the most absorbable form of calcium (calcium citrate)."

B-12 1000 MCG - Cherry

"These are tiny 1000mcg B-12 with folic acid pills that disolve under your tounge. Good taste."

Johnson City Medical Center (JCMC)

"They staff was great. They have some of the finest doctors in the state. They do have equipment for larger people, thought most of it is special order, be sure and ask for it...they do have it. Overall, the support there is great."

Baptist Hospital of Nashville

"The staff is excellent. The only problem we had was the hospital beds themselves. The hospital was very supportive to both me as a patient and my husband. They provided him a place to stay, in the hospital, since we were out of towners. A very open minded hospital that offers many healing choices, such as accupuncture, massage, Healing touch, etc."
