Terrence Fullum Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

Dr. Harrington Dr. Fullums associate did my sugery and he gets an A+ in my book. He is very professional and he makes every patient feel as if were his only patient.

He was very knowledgable about the surgery and my personal condition. My impression of him stayed the same with my research of WLS. His office staff is great! I liked everything about Dr. Fullum. Dr. Fullums office is dedicated to helping you achieve your goal in weight loss. They have a great after surgery program for 18 months. That's what I liked the most. Dr. Fullum was very upfront with the risk of surgery at a Bariatric meeting which they give monthly. He also give you stats on patient success and deaths from the surgery. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give him a 10. What I have heard of Dr. Fullum is he has a great bedside manner and he's a caring doctor.

Dr. Fullum is a very skilled plain talking, gentle man who is very easy to work with and his staff is top notch. I was an informed and comfortable patient in his hands. I had no complications after surgery and his follow up has been great thus far

My Surgeon was a vey caring person after he would complete a surgery with some one a head of me he would come in my room and ask me did I have any questions, and he would comfort me so i wouldn't be scared . the staff was great and very helpful with any question when I couldn't speak with the doctor I just Love the whole staff.after I had my surgery he made sure I knew everything I had to go through as far as the discomfort and the learning to eat again like a normal person His nutrisonist were very caring and helping people after I left the hospital they gave me a number to call them any time day are nigh If i had question about the type of food to eat. he addresed all the does and don't before and after I left the hospital and he also gave me plenty of reading material to read over . but above it all he was a very, very good surgeon and on a scale of 1-10 I would rate him 10+ because he putsw his all into everything and all of his patients.
P.S. the only thing I did not like about him was he was to understand and that made me scared before surgery.

I heard of Dr. Fullum through a coworker who had surgery a year ago. I got a good impression of him at the support group meeting. They really answer alot of questions even though its in a forum.

I had surgery on Feb 6, 2004 with Dr. Fullum. I really like him. He just seems to be very sincere and kind. I would recommend him stronlgy to anyone.

I first met Dr. fullum at one of his seminars at Providence. I was there to support my sister who was preparing to have wls. Dr. Fullum performed her surgery. She highly recommended him to me when I decided to have the surgery. I was impressed by his willingness to answer any and all questions his audience had concerning wls. He discusssed every aspect of the wls including the risks. His staff is wonderful and friendly as well. I really would recommend Dr. Fullum to anyone considering having wls.

Professional, efficient and communicative. I have no complaints or misgivings about this process or the procedure! He has been instrumental in literally saving my life. His pre-op program is extensive, provides access to numerous resources, his staff if professional and capable, the hospitals he works from Providence in DC and Washington Adventist in Maryland are above-average institutions.

I had my intial consult with Dr. Fullums office on October 20, 2003. I did not meet him, however, I met another doctor on his staff. The office staff is wonderful. They were very informative and very supportive.

I later that evening went to the support group meeting/ information session. I, at that time, got to meet Dr. Fullum. I was very impressed. He has an impressive resume and is charsimatic and concerned. I have seen few doctors who seem to care for patients well-being, physically, and spiritually, like he does.

I was moveover impressed that he is fellow Howard-ite ! H. U. ! (Howard University)

He was on the board at Yale as well and is very involved on the board at Providence Hospital. He is head of the board of surgeons there and is Department Head of Bariatric, General, Laparoscopic, and Robotic surgery.

I felt comfortable with Dr. Fullum and his staff, mainly because of their extensive background in this field. Dr. Fullum is a also a black doctor, which means he and his staff are very knowledgeable about the aspects of this surgery as it relates to black people. This was important to me. Every ethnic group has differing makeups when it comes to skin, genetic illnesses, etc.. I wanted someone who would understand that as well as be able to prescribe a post surgery diet that includes foods that are relative to what blacks love to eat.

Dr. Fullum was very knowledgeble about post operative recovery, and he has a one year structured aftercare program that all patients are required to participate in, or he will not do the surgery.

He addresses all of the risks and even has post-op patients come to the sessions to express their views and share their stories..

I would definitely rate Dr. Fullum as top rate.

Two friends of mine had the durgery with him about two months ago and even two days after surgery were up cleaning house and out at the store. They both had no real pain. No side effects, except the normal feeling a bit nauseated from drinking too much water or liquids. They both are now able to eat most foods, although dairy causes some discomfort as does meat...

I am excited about this surgery and getting myself back on a road to healthy living.

My first impression of Dr. Fullum was very good. I went to a seminar that gives you informative information about the surgery and explains everything you need to know. Although I have done extensive research it helps to hear the doctor explain it to you personally. Dr. Fullum staff was there also. Everyone had their time to speak and explain what their role was to help you though the process of WLS. They have a well structured before and after program. He also lets you know that the key to making it a success is a support program. He addressed all risks of surgery and encourages you to call the office if you still have any other unanswered questions. I have had a chance to rate his bedside manner because my appt isn't until the 10th of July. Will let yall know. But just from meeting him I can bet he is a 10.
