Harold Kent
"My first impression of Dr. Kent was not favorable. I originally thought that since he had not been the head surgeon on many of the laparoscopic surgeries that Golden Isles had proformed, that he was not as good. I do NOT believe that to be the fact now. Dr. Kent is a very intelligent and very experienced doctor. After discussing my questions and listening to his statistics, I now believe Dr. Kent to be just as good as any other bariatric surgeon. The staff at Golden Isles Center for Obesity Surgery is awesome...no other word. All the girls make an extra concerted effort to make sure that you are comfortable and to let you know what is going on. They also give great directions on what procedures are to follow so you are left with little to know questions. Cheryl is my hero, by the way. I want future patients of Dr Kents to expect a man who is straight to the point and not afraid of giving you the facts. Any question you have will be answered. Though he is dry and monotone, he makes up for it with sincerity and honesty. Aftercare is also very important to both surgeons. They stress that you follow the diet and attend support groups. Falure to comply could be bad for you health and nutrition. I was given a guidline to start with for aftercare and will be provided a nutritionist after surgery to help me figure the diet out. The risks of surgery were addressed immediately. What could happen is not hidden, but if we lived on what could happen, we'd all die of worry. The statitstics of death from surgery at this institution are less that one percent. Nothing to worry about...I think it all has to do with how seriously ill you are before the surger is done. Overall, I would rate Dr. Kent a 8 out of 10, for personality reasons...social skills leave something to be desired, but that's not what I look for in a surgeon anyway... I want someone who is knowledgable and caring...I think I have both."
