"I am impressed with Dr Wood, I think he is a really committed to Bariatric Surgery. I like the idea that he has 25 years surgical experience overall. I did have the pleasure of working in one of the hospitals he has practiced in. That sort of give me an an advantage.. I know about his caring attitude toward his patients and how they all "brag" on his bedside manner. I used to see him come in every morning and see each patient , which seems normal but if you know about hospitals, you'll know that sometimes thats a big deal to see YOUR physician and not the surgical resident!!! My consult with him only made me feel more confident in my decision to choose him as a surgeon and to have the procedure overall. He emphasizes aftercare, DIETS and the importance of following "THE GUIDELINES". He went into detail on the procedures he offered and the pros and cons of all of them. He does hold the patent onthe WOOD-SAPALA micropouch but doesnt force any procedure on you either way. My concern is that there is a long office wait(from other posts/reviews I've read), so I'll have to see about that with future appts. "
