"My first impression of Dr. Eaton was of a warm, charismatic man who genuinely was interested in my health and well-being both before and for after the surgery. As time progressed during the pre-surgical process, the one on one time that was spent with him decreased, but with the Bariatric Coordinator, Kathleen, the time increased, which I found particularly helpful, as she had also had the surgery, and was well schooled in answering the questions that I had. The staff was WONDERFUL...always answering any questions regardless of the amount of time that may have taken pre-surgery. The one issue that I did have with the office was the lack of staff, aside from the coordinator, that had the surgery itself...and therefore the ability to speak to them openly. At times...during the vulnerable times like weigh ins and such...it was difficult walking into an office where everyone that worked there seemed to be a size 6. The pre-op procedures were WONDERFUL. The emphasis on exercise..the regimen and insistence that you get into a habit of gym and eating correctly...worked. The aftercare program left something at that time to be desired. There was no real followup program. I would rate the program there very highly, but would suggest that anyone going there have a FIRM support group set up for aftercare...as many of the questions that you will have after...they dont seem to have as much time for. This is just MY personal opinion...as things may have changed since I had my surgery 2 years ago..and they may have a stronger aftercare program in place now.rn"
