Forest Park Medical Center

"Overall, it was excellent. Everyone was competent, polite, and friendly. If I had it to do over again, I would definitely choose to go there again. No regrets whatsoever."

Nick Nicholson

"When I first met Dr. Nicholson, my first impression was that he was younger than I expected, but full of energy and passion about weight loss surgery. He seems to really believe in what he's doing, and conveys a sense of caring towards his patients. He's definitely a "no BS" guy - he pulled no punches when he talked about the risks of surgery, but also about the risks of continuing on with life as an obese person. He told us that WLS is a tool - a great tool - but only a tool to help us change our lives. He went on to say that if we would commit to the entire package, including committing to the aftercare part of the deal, the tool would help us to succeed, and to change our lives. When I started dealing with his office, I learned that many of his employees have had weight loss surgery themselves. This means they understand where you're coming from, and are very empathetic. The folks who handled the insurance qualification for me were great, kept me informed every step along the way, and I was able to get approval the first time we submitted. They know their stuff! When I met with him for my consult, he again went over the details of the RNY procedure, the risks, and the long-term changes that it would require from me. I liked him even more, and was glad I'd done my research to find him. Surgery was successful, and I had only minimal pain post-op. Really, only the largest of the incisions caused any pain, and Dr. Nick had told me it would be the worst one ahead of time. Both he and other members of his team visited me in the hospital afterward, and all of them were great. I'm trying to think of anything negative about the whole experience, but I truly can't come up with anything. Dr. Nick is a great guy, and I'm extremely happy that I chose him to do my surgery."
