Dr. Landerholm is phenomenal. Not only is he a genuine guy but also a great surgeon. His staff is great, his RNs are super great and his nutritionist, Melanie is the best I have ever met, she absolutley knows her stuff. I was a private pay (best $ ever spent) so the process was very smooth. Post surgery, it can be confusing but Dr. Landerholm has been involved with giving me those answers......which means he really does know and care for his patients. It is very hard to cover every aspect prior to surgery so you really have to be on your game after surgery and make sure you are asking the questions that you need answered, WHEN you need them answered.rnHis bedside manner is superb and surgical competence is above the rest, trust me, I did my investigating. Overall, Dr. Landerholm is the best choice for LAP BAND in the Northwest.
Dr. Landerholm is very genuine and caring. Once I met with him and his staff my fears of surgery just kind of went away. The main focus is the aftercare and starting of a new life for the patient. They make sure to stress enough how this surgery is just giving a tool and it will take a lot of a hard work to make the tool work but that they would be there by your side to help guide you through it. The only negative thing so far was communication from the office staff in the very first step of this process (knowing if they had sent in insurance information) but after that I personally have had no problems.
My 1st impression of Dr Landerholm was wonderful. I felt like he really cared about helping me w/my problem and this impression has not changed a bit. The office staff is wonderful & are very nice people who care! They have a very good after care program & really watch over you.
My first impression of Dr. Landerholm was one of twinkling eyes, a great smile and a very friendly attitude. As I came to know him a little better my impressions were cemented. He is very likable and personable, not what I thought a surgeon would be like at all! He explained everything in detail and was even willing to go above and beyond to make me as comfortable as possible with the whole process. His gentleness and kindness are genuine and he really cares about his patients.
He has a structured aftercare program and has me working with a great nutritionist, Melanie. His office staff has been nothing but helpful, encouraging and supportive and all are so friendly! We also have a monthly support group meeting, which I am looking forward to attending.
The risks of lapbanding were discussed very honestly with me, though Dr. Landerholm and his team have had excellent results with their patients. I would rate him as an excellent surgeon with a great bedside manner and and would recommend him to anyone deciding on bariatric surgery. I also feel we are so blessed here in Western Washington State to have this wonderful bariatric surgical clinic with these surgeons who feel that obesity is a disease and can be treated with this tool called lapband!
