DR. SNOW WAS A WONDERFUL Dr. I WOULD REFER HIM TO ANYONE HAVING THIS SURGERY. I FEEL REAL LUCKY TO HAVE HAD SUCH A GOOD DR. HE DOES'NT TALK MUCH, BUT KNOWS HIS BUSINESS.HE IS THE BEST IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF AL. HE ALSO HAS THE SWEETEST NURSE,CLAUDIA.
My overall impression of my doctor so far is wonderful . I haven't had my surgery yet so i will let u know how he was after surgery when i get their. The staff at Dr.Weinstien's office was very helpful but to my surprise they were not very friendly or maybe i just thought they should be a little more friendly . he does talk alot on aftercare so i am assuming this is very important .
Dr.Ringold is very nice and easy to talk to. He seems to be very caring.He staff is also very helpful and have great atitudes.
Sincere, non-judgmental, honest answered questions openly. My first impression did not change over the course of pre-op visits, surgery and post op care. I would rate him A-1. The only improvement would be his office hand outs. They are somewhat confusing on things to eat post op and some contradict each other.
Dr. Hannon is a down to earth physician, that always has time to answer questions.
First impression don't change they are just adapted.
Efficent, polite
My surgery was performed on Wednesday and I did not see Dr. Hannon until my 2 week visit.
His partners saw me and discharged me, I had never seen any of his partners.
He is a busy man, it takes along time to get the inital appointment with him.
Dr. Hannon biggest emphasizes on aftercare was the importance of drinking you two quarts of liquid per day.
No after care program was offered.
A very good,competent, and skilled physician.
Surgical competence
Negative outcome of the whole experience was the lack of dietary information may available at the hopital.
Dr. Snow was a very open down to earth person, he set up on the table and I sat in his chair. I spillled my guts to him of how tired I was of fighting the roller coaster of fat. His wonderful staff, espically Claudia was very caring. My girlfriend and I both decided to do this on the buddy system. Flipped a coin and she went first. I glad she did tho, she made 2 trips back to the hospital for minor complications (her own fault) and he was very understanding. He stresses the importance of coming back for all aftercare visits. He went into detail of the risk of the surgery. Very comforting and straight up. This was in September that I went to him for an approval for January surgery,which my pre-op is scheduled for January 4th. The surgery will be the following week. So far everything is great!
So far he seems to be great. :) He's strict though, but I think that's a good thing. He calls 'dumping syndrome' a good side effect of WLS. :) I really think he's going to work out great.
I really wasn't nervous going into my initial consultation with Dr. Snow since two of my friends had used him. When he came into the room with me, he sat on the examining table and I sat in the chair. I offered to switch but he just smiled and told me that was the way it liked it - the table was more comfortable to him anyway (thank goodness because I would hang off both sides of it!) I know he did that to make me feel at ease. The first thing he asked me was "Why are you overweight?" I told him because of eating too much, not exercising like I should, and heriditary. He told me that the bottom line was if you eat more than your body needs you will gain weight. He said it was important to realize that since even with wls you may not achieve your ideal weight unless you take in less than what you actually need. He then went into detail about the surgery and answered all my questions. He said he would tell me at least 10 times how important it is for me not to overeat once the surgery is done. He said every single time you overeat it will stretch the pouch slightly. I did get a little emotional but he said it was ok that we were going to get through this. So, my initial impression of Dr. Snow and his caring staff was GREAT! I feel that they will work with me in whatever way they can to get my insurance approved. I did express my concern that the ins. might not be approved because I am borderline with no major problems. He said he didn't like to wait until there were major health problems but to prevent them from occuring. I like his attitude!
My surgery was on 4/10/01 and Dr. Snow did an outstanding job. I thank God that I found him. Would highly recommend him to anyone in the Mobile,AL/Pensacola,FL who is looking for a good dr. Also, Mobile Infirmary is the best hospital I have ever been in! Very attentive and caring staff!
