"I would never have considered this surgery until Dr. Lord came to town. I work at the hospital where he practices and have seen how he treats his patients. He is the most attentive surgeon with whom I have ever worked. My impression of him has not changed over the years, but I have not had my surgery yet either. His office has been efficient considering all the insurance hoops and they were instrumental in having my surgery date moved up. They provide excellent information and support. He and his staff provide statistics for the risks nationwide and under his care (which are considerably lower). Dr. Lord does mostly lap RNY and lap band for weight loss. He is a technicaly excellent surgeon with a great bedside manner. Most importantly he is a patient advocate. He is all the time calling the nurses to check on his patients and doing things for them that they never know about. He and his office work hard to do what is best for their patients. He rates above any other surgeon I have worked with or been under the care of because of his high standards of care. "
