Dr. Walton is a topnotch surgeon. I am four years out after my surgery --I lost 100 pounds! and have kept it off. He has always been available and is a wonderful doctor. He is truly interested in the health and wellbeing of his patients.

Dr. Walton and his staff were fantastic. I had my surgery 5 weeks ago. My pre-op treatment and information was thorough, and my hospital stay was 2nd to none! The staff and Dr. Walton were so upfront and informative with their information.
I am also impressed with the post-op information and support that Dr. Walton offers.
I went to a different seminar before I went to Dr. Walton's. The doctor was not there to answer questions, while Dr. Walton was and he was very open about the procedure and the cost.
I believe that Dr. Walton has changed my life!

My surgery is May 24th, but Dr. Walton has done surgery on me before and he is wonderful and caring. Cannot recommend him high enough!

I started out this journey with another surgeon and just didn't feel comfortable. A friend went to Weightwise and encouraged me to try it. I am SO glad I went. Dr. Walton gave his seminar personally and was wonderful. You could really tell that he cares about bariatric surgery and his patients. I scheduled a follow up visit and went in that week. Dr. Walton is such a nice man. He spent more time with me and got to know me better on that first visit than anyone at the previous surgeon's office had ever bothered to do.

The program at Weightwise is amazing. Everyone that you have to work with is right there in the same office, including psych, exercise, dietician, and doctor. And the hospital is right downstairs. I love that!

I was able to meet for the psych consult with Dr. Keller on my first visit. I really liked him, he is a straight shooter. He runs the a support group also. My dietician is amazing, I can e-mail her anytime and she always gets right back with me. My patient advocate is so helpful and always lets me know exactly what to expect. I am so happy in my decision to switch to Weightwise. Surgery in 3 weeks!

I haven't had my operation yet but on the prediet, I have lost 40 pounds . He does seem like he really cares and I have been in line for surgery before to get turned down by my insurance . and it wasnt as nearly as good as this program if you do what he says you will lose weight . And the staff is great best people you will ever meet . alot of them have had the surgery done. I will keep you posted after surgery.
so far I am scheduled for March 22.

I really appreciate Dr. Walton. He was very open and honest. He helped me through my multiple issues prior to surgery. He answered all of my questions. He never pressured me when I was unsure if I really wanted to have the surgery. He talked about the benefits and the risks. He answered all of my husband's questions until my husband felt more comfortable with the surgery. He has structured program that emphasises permanent life change. He has you attend support groups, visit with a nutritionist, and exercise guru. The cost for the surgery includes 2 years worth of follow-ups. After my sugery, he gave me his card with his cell phone number on it so I could call him anytime. His staff is very supportive but do get very busy and sometimes need to be reminded to stay on track. For instance, I had to get my own weight history because they forgot. Overall, I had a very good experience and would recommend him to anyone considering wls.

I will have my first meeting with Dr. Walton on Thursday, but I was referred by a friend who said Dr. Walton was excellent and that he would refer him to anyone.

I haven't had surgery but I'm trying to meet
all the requirements to have surgery. I was
very impressed with Dr. Walton. His honesty
and pleasant personality. His office staff is
very pleasant and helpful. I haven't dealt with anyone that was not friendly & helpful.
Everyone has been more than willing to answer any questions I might have. I am planning to have the gastric sleeve surgery.
I'm in the process of meeting the requirements to have that surgery now. Hopefully I will have more good comments to pass along about the hospital and staff soon.

I have to tell you that I think Dr. Greg Walton is awesome. Before I made an appt. to see him, I had heard very good things about him. My first impression was that he was very, very personable, very warm and willing to answer and and all questions that I had. My impression has not changed, and frankly even gotten better. There really isn't anything negative that I can say about him at this point. I am only 20 days postop, but I believe that I will continue to feel the same about him.

Dr. Walton's office staff has been fine to work with. I really have no complaints.

Dr. Walton and the entire staff emphasize from the first time you go to the informational seminar and every time you see them the importance of continuing to come for aftercare and support groups. The support group at Weightwise led by Dr. Keller is great.

By the time my surgery date arrived, I felt that I was fully prepared and well-informed about what I was getting into. I understood the risks involved and understood my responsibility.

I have all the confidence in the world in Dr. Walton and trust him completely. He is the only doctor I have ever had who gave me his cell number and told me to call him or text him, day or night, with any questions or concerns I may have.

I would have absolutely NO problem recommending him to anyone interested in having this surgery. He's the best in my book.

YES I AM SCREAMING WITH EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!!!! I WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE THIS SOONER!!!!!!! Iam so excited that I can hardly wait to see where Im at a year from now!!! Dr Walton was TRULY AMAZING!!! I didn't get a hospital pager # I actually got his cell # that HE actually answered whenever I had any questions or concerns. My surgery was NO big deal I kept thinking the 1st week that it would probably be a tough day tomorrow, but that never happened. It was relatively painless except for the gas they use during the operation & that was gone in 24 hrs. My incision never hurt & 6 weeks out they look FANTASTIC!!! By the way did I mention Im also 30 lbs lighter after 6 wks!!!!!!!! That never would of happened without this surgery, as I have been trying for 7 yrs since the birth of my 3rd child. I would HIGHLY!!!!!!!!!! recommend Dr. Walton & Weight Wise to anyone!!!!!!!!! Shelley Winter
