Peter Hallowell Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr. Hallowell was a very concerned, but very informative person. He told you staight foreward what was ahead,risk as well as what can be accomplished.So far his staff are very great, they help you in any way they can,and dont make you feel like you are being a pest. Felicia was great with me and trying to get approval from insurance. The rest I will answer at a later time after surgury

I WENT TO MY FIRST VISIT WITH A S H O P P I N G B A G FULL OF INFORMATION THAT WOULD HAVE SOMEONE ELSE TAKE LONGER SO I C A M E E X T R E M L Y P R E P A I R E D SO FAR I ONLY MET ONCE WITH THE STAFF WE REALLY HAVENT TAKL ABOUT AFTER CARE YET THATS TO COME CANT ANSWERE THAT ONE EITHER HE DID TOUCH LIGHTLY ON RISKS I REALLY TRY NOT TO RATE ANYONE OVERALL UNTIL THE SECOND OR THIRD MEETING OR GET TOGETHER IS THAT A FUNNY TRICK QUESTION OR WHAT IM NOT LAUGHTING ABOUT THE LAST QUESTION DUA THEY SHOULD GO HANAD AND HAND BEACUSE EACH PERSON IS A POPLEOR EACH PEOPLE IS A PERSON THAT SHOULD BE IN THEIR STUDY IN COLLEGE BUT I REALLISE IT ISNT SO DUA A COMPETENCE SURGENT

My first impression of Dr. Hallowell, was that he was so friendly had a very nice smile that he used alot, I was waited on very quickly, his staff made me feel as though I was not fat at all!!! He did stress that I could not gain any weight before surgery if I did then he would not be able to do it, so I actually lost about 7 pounds, but the day of surgery I had gained 2 pounds (my period came on), I was so scared that he was going to say something, but he did not and of course he proceeded with the surgery, it went very well, he even personally went out to let my family know that he had went really well, my incision is so pretty (lol). I actually do not have one negative thing to say about Dr. Hallowell and his staff, but I do go see him on September 9, 2002 for my 3 month check up, so maybe I'll try to find something he needs improvement on (just kidding)!!

i really liked him

he was very friendly and sincern and a straight shooter
didn't chng he is a very sweet man

very sweet and helpful they never get upset with me no matter how many times I called
nothing I really like him from the minuet he shook my hand and said I can help
you have many steps to go through you don't just see him one day and the next is surgery it is a step process

Yes very structured before and after car programs
he explained in great detail exactly what they will be doing and what i will need to do to get through this sucessfully

overall he is a wonderful doctor. He is the kind of doctor that looks at you as a human no at more dollar signs in his eyes. He is personable and a professional

Dr. Hallowell is the best. Every time I have seen him, he treats me like a person - not a number. He made me feel comfortable with asking questions and answers some tough ones - like how many procedures have you done and what ratio of complications have there been? Without hesitation he answered me and told the truth. I knew then I was at the right place with the right dr. My surgery took 5 hours. When I appeared in ER with a fever of 103 on Sat night - he stayed with me until I was checked in at 3:00am. I would recommend him in a heart beat.

Dr. Hallowell was very imformative at our first meeting. He informed me of all of the risks, it was almost like he was trying to talk me out of it. He just wanted me to know what a big change this was and make sure I was ready for it.
His office staff is wonderful. His secretary Maryanne is awesome. Whenever I called with questions she always found the answer and got back to me.
They have a structured after care program that includes monthly support group meetings.
I was much more impressed with his surgical competence than I was with his bedside manor.
