He was a no nonsense person but very professional.

Harris Methodist Hospital in Downtown Fort Worth just started a bariactric surgury program. I attended the first meeting tonight with Dr. Lorimer. I was so impressed with him. I can hardly wait to set up my first appointment with him and get this show on the road. The whole program is so laid out and seems so organized. I'll keep posted but was so excited just to know I don't have to go to Dallas to have the surgery done.

Dr. Lorimer first struck me as a very patient man, who truly wants his patients to understand what's going to happen to them more than anything. He explained to me that Lap vs open, and although I already knew I wanted an open procedure, I was grateful for the knowledge.
