"They are very familiar with bypass patients as they perfrom this surgery there often. The dietary staff is great, but the menu was surprisingly limited.
Again other than the E/R Staff, Cy-Fair is a top notch facility."
"I met with Dr. Wongsa on 4-28-03. He is a straight-to-the-point kind of person. I kind of got the impression that he was being condesending to me, but he did answer any and all questions asked. He also questioned me as to my reasons for surgery and warned me of the risks. He seemed to lighten up a little toward the end of the consultation. The main thing is I'm paying him for his skill, not to be my friend.
His staff was very friendly and caring. I have heard great things about them and their abilities with insurance filings. I hope mine goes through ok.
The main thing I did not care for was how he seemed to put me on the immediate defense about my weight, weight loss history, and reasons for surgery.
Future patients should be forwarned that Dr. Wongsa is very straight-laced and 'dry'. Do not go to him unless you are serious about WLS.
Ok, let's just say that my opinion of Dr. Wongsa has changed greatly. He is one of the most caring people I have ever met. Since I had developed complications, he has been by my side in order to get me throught this. Once you get past the initial sterness, he is a wonderful, caring person who will go that extrat mile for you.
I would have to recommend Dr. Wongsa to anyone seeking a WLS surgeon, but with the warning of what to expect. He is a "top-notch" surgeon and is probably the best you can find in the Houston area for this surgery."
