I had Gastric Bypass surgery in October 2016. Dr. Waggoner was wonderful. In the beginning, I was a little worried about what to expect. He made me feel comfortable. The operation and post surgery went smoothly. So smoothly, I forgot about my three month check up. I had zero problems, but called the office with questions quite a bit after surgery. His staff was always friendly and helpful. If I needed to soeavk with him, he would return my call. I feel blessed to have found him. My life is wonderful, I have no regrets, and am 80 pounds lighter.
Wow what an amazing change in my life Dr. Waggoner saved me. I was type 2 diabetic, heart problems, thyroid, sleep apenea. I was always sick and throwing up and tired and he took me and got me approved, and we did this operation and it was a life saver. I'm back to being a person again. I am back working, no more type 2 diabetes complications, no more heart meds, no more sleep apenea. I feel amazing and that's because I was blessed to meet this wonderful DR who not only cares about others but honestly wants to help them with their obesity problems. I am no longer insulin dependent and he worked with my insurance to get me approved so I was the first AETNA Texas Medicaid to get the surgery and his office staff helped so much and the rest of the bariatric staff I couldn't have been blessed more by meeting these amazing group of people had I tried. I'm seriously amazed everyday with the changes in myself and they still email and want to hear from me it's not like some of the others who just finish with ya and throw ya to the curb. I'm down from 384 to 198 as of today and my surgery was 04/25/2012. THANK YOU GOD and Dr. Waggoner for believing in me enough to give me another chance at LIFE!
My first impression of Dr. Waggoner was that he actualy cared about me. I haven't changed my opinion of him to date. His staff very helpful but I think a little short when it comes to questions. I ask alot of questions and feel unsafe when ill prepared for something but they just respond with just keep doing what your doing. I liked the fact that he didn't want to set you up to fail like some of the doctors I've met and believe me with my insurance search boy did I meet alot. I haven't had my surgery yet but I feel good about doing it with Dr. Waggoner and that's what is most important to me. I will let you know if he earns his last star after I have my surgery but if you're looking for a doctor who's there for you when all else have slammed the door due to money issues he's the one to call. Good luck!
I met the doctor at a seminar he gave on weight loss. He was young, able to answer my questions in English not medicalize. After the seminar I spoke with the bariartric coordnitor at the hospital and liked her. rnI made an appointment with the Dr's office and think Michelle is the best. I have an appointment with them on Monday, on Wednesday Michelle (same week) called to tell me she faxed my paperwork. I had approval the same week, on Friday. Date was set for the following month and I am 1 month post op.rnI have seen my doctor only once since surgery but have an appointment (my first fill) the Monday after Thanksgiving. I would let this doctor operate on me anytime.
Myy first impression of Dr. Waggoner was he is very personable, informative, eager to answer questions, honest and very knowledgable. His staff is very friendly and knowledgable especially Erica. Erica handles all the paperwork with the insurance companies. Dr. Waggoner seminars consist of a dietician, himself and Erica. They are hand to answer any questions and to provide you with information to make your pre and post surgery a success.
My first impression was that Dr. Waggoner was here to help me become a healthier person. He is not in the business to make us runway models but here to save lives. rnrnDr. Waggoner performed my surgery in April, 2007. Everything he told me to expect was right on. In fact it was much more simple than I ever thought possible. I have been to see Dr. Waggoner 3 times since having my surgery and I always feel he is there for me. I always feel like I am the only one there. He always takes time to answer all my questions no matter how silly they may seem.rnrnAs for his staff, Michelle she is so wonderful, anytime I have a question I can give her a call get the answer from her immediately. She also makes you feel very comfortable at all times.rnrnI have full trust in Dr. Waggoner and would recommend him and his staff to anyone looking to have weight loss surgery. rnrnDr. Waggoner thank you for helping me in my journey to becoming a healthier me.rnrnrnrnrn
My first impression of him was a sense of safety and seriousness. I knew i was in good hands. My impression stayed the same over time. I would describe his office staff as very helpful and professional. There was nothing that i didnt like about him. Future patients should know that he is a very good surgeon and i would refer him to the president if need be.
