"Hospital/Surgical Review- I feel that Dr. Faulkenberry's staff completely prepared me for this surgery. I was given all the information necessary to follow both pre-op and post op diets. The day before surgery I was given an MRSA test, which was positive. The day of surgery every precaution was taken to protect me from infection, nausea, etc. After surgery I was held in ICU overnight for precaution because of my high risk status (high BMI, sleep apnea, hypertension). I wholly felt well taken care of by Dr. Faulkenberry. I did not expect to see him more than once a day while in the hospital, but I saw him several times, as well as his partner and the hospitalist. I also had an assigned person to keep track of me throughout the hospital visit and for 3 weeks afterwards. My surgeon made sure that I had everything I needed in the hospital. Dr. Faulkenberry does not do surgery to do surgery--he truly believes in his patients and is in it for the long haul. His care does not end once you leave the hospital. Highly recommend."
"I can't say enough good things about Dr. Faulkenberry and the staff at Southwest Bariatric. Each patient is assigned a Patient Advocate who helps navigate the medical maze and keeps you on track. Every step is outlined clearly. They are all as nice as you could wish for. Since I have to travel several hours to get to Austin, they've really accomodated me with that.
Dr. Faulkenberry's office is in a busy area of Austin. It was a little difficult to find and parking wasn't ideal, but with a drop off area at the front doors, we did okay. The exam tables in the office are bariatric friendly and ADA accessible.
I will update this after my next visit to the office."
