"I had a DS with Dr. Garth Davis on 9/27/11. So far (5 weeks out) could not be happier.
My initial impression was positive, but I was worried he wouldn't support my desire for a DS. I was wrong. For my case (53 BMI, 42 years old, sleep apnea the only co-morbidity) he was very supportive. After completing the preop nutrition class and other requirements, his staff quickly obtained insurance approval and called to schedule a surgery date. We set the date and in just a few weeks I was switched. The surgery was textbook, and the experience in the hospital (Memorial Hermann Memorial City) was very positive. The RN who cared for me on day shift actually was a 2 year post op DS patient, which was just an amazing inspiration.
Relative to after care, the Davis Clinic has a strong emphasis both on nutrition as well as DS specific vitamin/supplement regimen. Although the Davises are relatively new (the last year or two) to performing the DS, their clinical director comes from a practice which had been doing DS's for years. Its reassuring to have such a solid team beyond just the surgeon looking out for you."
