Presently I still trust him, he is honest.
Awesome staff...
I did not see him enough during the beginning processes but I guess their was a reason why.
Very well experienced.
Strongly.
Bluntly told me there are risk.
Great experience thus far (7days post op)
UPDATE:rnHave had my first fill this week. Megan, the NP, is absolutely FANTASTIC. I could not have asked for a better surgeon or nurse practioner for surgery and follow-up!rnrn5/15/2008: I really liked Dr. Marvin. He was very knowledgable and helpful during my initial visits, making sure I know everything I needed to know about Lap-Band. I would have liked to have had more information on support groups and the psycholigical impacts of the surgery, though I really knew what I wanted and was well-informed from my own research.rnrnI feel Dr. Marvin's staff was pretty good, they were very responsive to phone calls and messages. The only thing I did not like was that the staff really wanted me to have surgery at a particular hospital, which was not covered by my insurance. The staff also told me they did not think my insurance would cover the surgery because I did not have 5 years of a BMI of over 40 and had me really upset for nothing, my insurance approved with absolutley no problem at all because my company's policy is so good regarding obesity surgery.rnrnVery adamant about follow up care for after surgery checkups and fills.rnrnDr. Marvin was very up front about complications.rnrnI would rate Dr. Marvin and his staff as 9.5 out of 10.rnrnThese are all my opinions and others may have a different opinion.
Dr. marvin and his staff were wonderful. i had my surgery in July of 2006. I am very pleased with the results. i have lost 100 lbs. and have maintained the weight for almost a year now. Aftercare of the surgery was emphasized greatly. I was fully aware of all the risks of surgery before going into it. The only problem I had from the surgery was the air pocket that settled in my shoulder. That was more painful than the surgery itself. After taking Gas-X and moving around quite a bit, it finally went away and everything was back to normal. If I had to do it all over again, i would do it without a doubt. My husband had the surgery under Dr. marvin's care also and he has had great results. Overall. I Love Dr. martin and his staff.rnThe Lap band surgery has given me a new life. I can go into the store and actually have problems finding clothes that are small enough for me now. Emagine that. WOW!!! It is GREAT!!!! Thanks Dr. Marvin.
Dr. Marvin is great! I met him on my 37th birthday...one week before my sugery. He answered all questions that I had before I had a chance to ask them. I felt that he was very thourough during the visit and after my surgery...well, I think he is the SURGEON CHAMP!!! Thank you Dr. Marvin for saving my life!rnrn****Does everyone know that Dr. Marvin left Obesity Surgery Specialists?? He has his own practice down in the medical center.****
My first impression of Dr. Marvin was \"professional\". During the seminar he was friendly and patient, answering all my questions, most of the time before I asked them. I am confident that I have picked the right surgeon to perform my gastric bypass.
Dr. Marvin was great, very professional. His staff was freat about helping with the insurance issues.rnrnI would recomend him and his staff to my friends
My WLS surgeon is Dr. Robert Marvin in Houston, TX. At my pre-op appointment, he was awesome. He took plenty of time to inform me of what to expect and what to watch for. He answered all my questions with out rushing. He is very knowledgable and competent. My appointment confirmed why I want Dr. Marvin as my surgeon. His office staff are also awesome. Every time I have come into the office or called, they have all been very kind. The waiting time is also very short. They also offer a support group for all of their WLS patients that meets twice a month.
Very detailed, his bedside manner is wonderful.
Dr Marvin is the best guy for the job. I was in bad shape due to me being very diabetic. rnI had no idea how bad it was. My primary doctor didnt know (or care). rnDr Marvin was able to make decisions quickly that allowed me to survive. rnHe is a professional caring doctor who tells it like it is. If i would have used anyone else I would have died. rnI thank God that he is my doctor. Saved my Life!
