Dr. D is a great doctor....he was always up front and honest and nice. He always tried to answer questions and if he didnt have the answers, he found someone who did. The best thing about him is, that he will see you before you are approved...and this saves a lot of time.
The office staff were nice....overworked...but nice...poor Yolanda...people dont know what she goes through...and some people say she is rude...but she isnt.
Both his bedside manner and surgical competence is A++++++++
He is a great person and doctor and friend.
He remembers everyone's name too!!!!
Met Dr. Duperior via e-mail. Requested his assistance in getting an appointment. My first meeting with Dr.D was positive. He came across as both friendly and professional. His office staff was very good with the exception of the person responsible for scheduling. She was not very forth coming or responsive to my inquiries. The Dr. listened to my issues and was responsive to my specific needs. It is now 3wks. after surgery and am do to see him in a couple of days. He belongs to a group of bariatric surgeons and they work together to provide service and support. They provide great info on their web-site. This is followed with an informative seminar (to include handouts). They then give you a test on the information they provide to insure you are "fully" aware of the issues. Dr. Duperior is certainly a cut above, and he is supported by a large group of various competant and informed medical professionals. The above comments are my personal "opinions" and not meant to convey what others may or may not expect.
I attended the semiar that this group requires all of their potential patients to attend and Dr. Duperier was one of the speakers. He is very confident (aren't all surgeons? lol) but I have the utmost respect for this group. They have a great group and the most intensive preop and postop follow up's I know of from any group of surgeons who do this surgery. Their current wait time is months to years. They require you to attend a seminar where the benefits, the risks, the changes in your life and the differences in surgeries are explained. Then they have a question and answer session. This seminar is put on by the doctors themselves. They take great care in post-op follow ups and do not charge until after 90 days post op for any copays or visit fees. I have not had a one on one with Dr. D, but I will post after I do. =) **3/2/03** I met with Dr. Duperier last Thursday and I think he is wonderful. He's very caring and has an excellent resume! If anyone is interested in having surgery with this group, or you just want a lot of great information to read, visit thier website at sabariatrics.com.

Today I met Dr. Duperier for the first time and I really liked him alot. He was really upfront and honest with me about my weight and the fact that if I didn't get this weight off soon. Death would be eminent. The Dr's staff are absolutely wonderful and I really felt taken care of. Dr. Duperier is really up to date on doing the laproscopic surgery and even said that I maight actually be able to do that than an open roux-n-y.
Dr. Duperier is a pleasant, quiet man, he has joined the office of Dr. Selinkoff in San Antonio Texas
aFTER SURGERY on the first postop visit Dr. D. was much more vocal very nice and very helpful. He's a caring concerned surgeon.
Staffs helpful
He is very businesslike. He was a bit scattered when I met him as it was his second day at SA Bariatric and was still finding his way around. My immediate impression was that I liked him a lot. I felt very comfortable with him, and think he is very kind.
The office staff at SA Bariatric is hit and miss. Jessica is extremely helpful, and I would recommend you ask for her by name. The others, one girl in particular, are sometimes rude and seem to give conflicting information. You must really push to get the answers you want (and to make sure your paperwork gets done in a timely manner)
SA Bariatric has a wonderful aftercare program...that is partly why I chose the surgeons there. They are with you for life.
I think their program at SA Bariatric is great. They are very knowledgeable and upfront with both the good and bad aspects of this surgery. Unfortunately, they are in high demand and if you go through insurance, you will have to wait for almost 2 years just to get a seminar appointment. They do make you go to a seminar first before your first consultation, but that is so you are fully aware of the consequences of this surgery.
I would rate SA Bariatric great based on what I know so far. Dr. Duperier was very helpful and patient with me, and I feel comfortable in his surgical skills.
