"The day I saw Dr. Baggs he was running a bit late to all of his appointments. Even though his schedule was getting more messed up with each patient he saw, he took the time to answer every question I had.rnrnMy first impression of Dr. Baggs was that he was a very kind and gentle doctor who is passionate about his specialty and his patients.rnrnI must say that I was at ease during the entire 20 - 30 minute appointment I had with him. rnrnFor future patients = Dr. Baggs was very happy that I had my husband come with me. He even said that I would have much better results because my husband was activley participating in my WLS journey. = So, bring your spouse / support person with you if you want to start off on the right foot with Dr. Baggs. It also helped to start the conversation in the room.rnrnOn a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being Bad and 10 being Awesome) I would rate Dr. Baggs as an absolute 10. There were no questions I asked that he did not answer and I left his office feeling 100% positive that RNY WLS was what I was going to do.rnrnHe set my mind at ease about alot of the complications. He had a LOW complication rate of less than .5% for RNY WLS. Plus, Kaiser Richmond is a Center of Excellence. There are only 3 surgery centers in California who have obtained this status. Richmond Kaiser is the only Kaiser.rnrnI can't wait for surgery! I will post an update then!"
