Francis Essien Bariatric Surgeon D.O.

11/3/03 Attended Dr. Suh's support group and it was very informative and I learned much of what I have learned on Obesityhelp.com website. From the support group my impression of Dr. Suh is that he is very caring and understanding.
11/11/03, Had my consult today with Dr Essien. I was very impressed with him and he explained everything very well. He has a very good personality. I like him a lot. I feel that I am in good hands with this surgeon. The office staff was very pleasant and helpful, efficient and very organized.
12/14/03 LOVED HIM!!! Can't say enough.
Very caring, explains everything and pleasant. I would recommend him highly.
He emphasized aftercare and the protocal very much. A specialist in this field and a very good bedside manner.

I liked Dr. Essien. He was to the point and answered my questions. He sat in a chair eye level with me, which made me feel comfortable. The office is very busy and there are not enough chairs to accomodate all of the patients waiting to be seen. They seemed a little overwhelmed. Crown is not strictly a bariatric surgery center, but appeared to be a general surgery center as well.
Dr. Essien very clearly addressed the procedure as well as assoiciated risks and i left with all of my questions answered but one. WHEN????

he was to the point and answered all my questions.. sept24,20003 will be my 2nd visit with him. the staff was good and everyone knew what to do.so far nothing.he is nice and personal .iwill get all that information on my next visit.
