Phillip Leggett
"Saw Dr. Scarborough on January 7, 2003. ******************************************** Due to insurance conflict, I will not be useing Dr. Scarborough. I will update everyone on my new surgeon After my first visit on 7-22-03 ******************************************** I went to see Dr. Leggett today for my first consult. My first impression was, wow! His office is beautiful and plush. I know that so does not matter in the whole sceam of things, but it was part of the first impression. His office staff was friendly and willing to answer all of my questions. His nurse that interviewed me, Becky,was very profesional, and I really like that. She said she has been working with Dr. Legget for 12 years. I actually only saw Dr. Leggett for about 5 minutes. They explained that on the first visit he does not talk with the patients much. The fist visit is more for gathering your information and getting you going on your homework assignment. Becky explained that he really holds alot of weight in the homework assignments. He is very selective on who he is willing to operate on. He is not like the first surgeon I saw. Dr. Scarborough did not require any piliminary testing other that an upper GI and an ultrasound of the gallbladder. That is nothing compaired to this doctor. He requires a consult with a Psycholigst, a Pulmonary Specialist, and a Dietician. After asking me just a couple questions, he also wants me to repeat a HIDA scan and ultrasound of the gallbladder. It has been since 1995 since the last one showed that I had a diseased gallbladder. I also have alot of family members with a history of gallbladder disease so most likely, he will be taking out my gallbladder during the procedure. I wish I could give more info about him personally but I can not. His staff was great and I look forward to the next appointment where hopefully I can get to know him more. I left with my instructions for what all I have to do over the next few weeks, which is alot. Hopefully within the next couple of months I will return for my next consult, turn in my homework and schedule surgery. Of course we have our fingers and toes crossed that every thing goes through with the insurance. "

"Everything was as good and even better than could be expected. Everyone that I came into contact with seemed to have the heads up on everything related to this surgery. I believe that Alot of that has to do with the Bariatric Coor., Sharla. She is so wonderful! She is with you every step of the way and is a great patients advocate. She is constantly on her toes making sure you and your family are ok. Overall is was the best hospital experience I have ever had, and I have been in alot hospitals in my life. "

"Dr.Wallace has been mine and my mother's PCP for several years now. She is very thorough. She is always patient and understanding. She never rushes through anappointment, even when she has many patients in the waiting room. I highly recommend her to anyone in the Southeast part of Houston Trexas"
