"I first met Dr. Lord at a seminar in Destin, FL. He was very confident - a trait I like in someone who is going to cut holes in my body. I felt a great deal of confidence in hi from the start and that hasn't changed.rnrnHis office staff is amazing. The pre-op appointments were interesting and challenging and required me to really think about and prepare for the surgery. Jan Carlo has been fantastic to work with. She has personal experience with the lap band and even pre-answered questions before I could ask them. The care in the hospital was great, too. I so appreciated the care from my day nurse Suzie, and the countless times by night nurse assisted me getting up and down to use the bathroom. All the hospital staff was friendly and helpful.rnrnAftercare gets a lot of emphasis. I have a schedule of what to expect over the next several weeks, and then each year. rnrnThere was slight confusion in some of the process (i.e. I started with Dr. Friedman, but had surgery from Dr. Lord - not a problem but a change nonetheless, sometimes appointment times altered without prior notice). I chalk this up to being a busy practice. rnrnOverall, I would highly recommend Dr. Lord and his staff to anyone considering weight loss surgery."
