" My 1st impression of Dr. Lord was, \"Wow! How did we luck out and get him.\" Not only did he sound confident during his seminar presentation, he had amazing credentials and extensive experience to back it up. I knew immediately that he was the only surgeon I wanted to do my procedure, and I did have options. rn Over time, I came to appreciate that I was not just a bariatric patient, I was Dr. Lord's patient, and that meant a lot. My success would be his success, and with Dr. Lord, failure is not an option.rn Dr. Lord's has a nutritionist and a therapist right there in his office, so there is none of this running all over town for services that I've heard others complain about. Still, my only complaint is that office staff did not return phone calls when they said they would. This was a concern for me only when I was checking to see if my insurance papers had been submitted and approved.rn There was nothing I disliked about Dr. Lord, and I want future patients to know that he is driven to provide you with optimum care. When he says, \"I'm going to take care of you.\" He means it and he will.rn Aftercare is a biggie with Dr. Lord, so count on committing yourself to at least 5 years of it with regularly scheduled office visits. I belive Dr. Lord was quite clear about potential surgical risks.rn I found Dr. Lord to have a perfectly acceptable bedside manner, but I was won over by his surgical competence. If you are considering gastric bypass surgery, and live in the Florida Panhandle, Dr. Lord is the surgeon to choose. If you live outside the area, he's worth the trip!"
