"I felt very safe with Dr. Jones. He is an experienced surgeon who has done over 500 vsg's. Great bedside manner and took the time to patiently and respectfully answer my questions pre-op. At the 3 month mark my recovery has been smooth and uneventful. No God complex - down to earth, positive, easy going, and able to explain medical terms in a way that made sense to me. He was straight forward about the risks, expected results, and longterm challenges/success. Some patients might want more face time with the surgeon - I had a pre-op appointment and then saw him in the hospital the day after. He was available, I just didn't have any more questions for him or any post op issues that needed follow-up. On the downside, I was not able to meet him until the 5 month mark (1 month before surgery). His hospital/COE has been an unpleasant and disappointing experience. I'd give Dr. Jones 5 stars and the rest of the experience 1 star (his COE). When it comes down to it, the surgeon is by far the most important part, however there are other highly rated surgeons. Feel free to message me if you have more questions about my journey. "
