"I have been going to Dr Whitely for almost 6 years now and she has ALWAYS taken wonderful care of myself and my children. Dr Whitely helped me so much in getting approved for WLS and both her and her PA Sally helped me get approved for my tummy tuck. I always feel like I am special and the only thing on her mind when I meet with her. The office staff is friendly, too. Believe it or not my kids get excited to go see Dr Whitely, even if it means they are getting a shot! That is because she treats them so well and has exam rooms setup just for kids. i could go on and on about how awesome she is!

"When I first me Dr Simpson at his seminar I knew right away that he was pretty awesome. He was down to earth, knowledgable and answered all the questions that were asked. When I had my consult I was even more impressed. I had 2 and 1/2 pages of questions, he answered every question I had in great detail and never made me feel rushed. Dr Simpson does require that you lose 10 pounds prior to scehduling surgery. This is his way of seeing your commitment. I have heard some say "Well if I could lose weight I wouldn't need this surgery", that is true, but to most of us morbidly obese people it is not hard to lose 10 pounds. In the past week (today is 04/28) I have lost 5 pounds.
I do not have anything bad I can say about Dr Simpson or his staff. His office manager Debbie and his surgical scheduler Mary have been very kind and have responded to my e-mails very promptly. Then there is also Sally who works the front desk, she is so sweet. Last but not least is Ann, she weighed me, took my vitals and was very kind! I have not met Kim who does his billing but I am sure she is great,too.
Dr Simpson very much stresses after care and developing a good support system. He has a great website : www.arizonabariatriccenter.com
I think if you go and look at the posts from him and his patients you will see a great bond and caring between everyone. I am so excited to be taking this step and I am so glad I chose Dr Simpson."
"I went to the nutritionist today. She was wonderful, well worth the money. We discussed what I am doing now to prepare myself. I explained I have stopped using carbonated beverages, I havestarted drinking lots of water, if I want flavor I have a crystal light. I have also started doing serious portion control. We discussed the food pyramid, I brought nutritional labels from the protein drinks I would like to use and I got the ok. I will be using the Atkin's brands. I was so pleased with her. She seemed to take a very personal interest in me and was wonderful!!!"
"I had previously had a breast reduction in March 2001 with Dr Leighton, he was wonderful then. I had a Tummy Tuck with him on November 17th and was once again thrilled to have him. He also repaired 3 hernias and did extensive muscle repair. Dr Leightons office will submit to insurance for you, but will not appeal for you if denied for a tummy tuck. I did my appeal work and got approved. It is not that they do not care, it is just they are so busy that they cannot devote that much time to appeals.
