Toby Broussard Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

I had my lap band surgery with Dr. Broussard in April of 2007. I've lost over 100 lbs. with the support of Dr. B. and his entire team, including the psychologist, nutritionist, exercise physiologist, nurses and office staff. I still have 50 lbs. to go and the team continues to cheer me on, help me to tweak my eating patterns and exercise habits to see me on to success.rnrnSome things you should know: Dr. Broussard is a firm believer that the band is a TOOL and not the magic wand that instantly makes you skinny - it cannot make good food choices for you, but only controls the volume. If you want to learn how to eat correctly for life, and be held accountable for it, come see Dr. Broussard. The followup care is amazing. With a band, you're in the office several times to get adjustments or receive assistance and guidance. It's nice being with Dr. B and Weightwise because their staff is consistent, friendly and fun to come visit every time. rnrnI've thoroughly enjoyed working with the WeightWise team, and highly recommend them to anyone close to OKC. The facilities are top-notch and all in one location for everything, which is a plus!

My first impression was very good. He is very friendly and easy to talk to. I really like his aprroch. Seemed very sincere.

Toby is very down to earth and talks to you in a language that you can understand. He is very friendly and personable. My impression did change aover time due to the fact I trust him completely with my health care. He truely wants the best for me and is very patient with my weight loss since I can't do it perfectly. His PA Tara is excellent. She can fill your band and you do not know that you have even been stuck with a needle. The nurses are very caring and extremely friendly. There is nothing that I dislike about Toby or his staff. New patients should know that he is very frank and will tell them anything they want to know about their care. He does emphasize aftercare. That is the only way he can control what is going on with the lap band. The check-ups are structured and convenient. Toby tells you the risks of the surgery and what you can expect from the surgery and just how much it is in your control. I would rate him higher than excellent. Surgical competence is, of course, the most important thing since your life depends on it, but his bedside manner can not be beat. He is the best I have ever seen at bedside manner, but it is not fake, he truely cares about his patients.

my first impression of him was comical.rnmy impression hasn't changed much over time.rnhis office staff is incredible.rnwhat i like least about him is while he is comfortable and confident and accustomed to every asspect of the process , in his earnest desire to be reassuring at times , is presented as being placating or just glossing over to the everything will be fine scenerio without fully acknowledging or communicating his understanding of the depth or range of fears and emotions.rnIf someone who is considering him as their doctor were to ask me i would say i wouldn't want any other doctor,and it is easy to feel personal with him and his entire staff.rnhis emphasis on aftercare is immence.rnhis aftercare program is very structured.rnhe addressed the risks of surgery as thouroughly as any surgeon i have ever dealt with.rni would rate him favorably.rnsurgical competence and bedside manner both are necessities, like most things in life those who can find balance are blessed.rnhe is blessed and i have been blessed to have him as my doctor.

Dr. Broussard is very dedicated to me as his patient. I have never felt that he just wanted to do surgery on me. He and his staff genuinely care about my overall health and wellbeing. They are very thorough in their testing and preparation for my upcoming surgery. I have full confidence in their care.

I really like Dr. Broussard because he is so personable and seems to genuinely care about his patients. He made me feel very comfortable about my decision to have the surgery. He worked with me before the surgery to make sure I was ready for the surgery by setting up personalized weight loss and general health goals to meet before the surgery. After the surgery, he came in numerous times to check on me during my stay in the hospital. I would recommend him to anyone who is considering weight loss surgery!

My husband and I are both patients and we both like Dr. Broussard. He won us over at the seminar with his ability to explain a lot of information, answer everyone's questions, make us all feel comfortable and even make us laugh. At our first appointment, I found him to have an excellent bedside manner. He is patient, caring, personable and his knowledge was impressive. None of our questions stumped him! All the staff we interacted with so far have taken excellent care of us. We are just getting started on this journey together and are both very hopeful and excited.

I met my surgeon on 10/19/06 & he is super nice & I am so looking forward to working with him on my way to a healthier me! He is so extremely nice & truly cares about his patients well being & after talking to him for a few minutes it's like we have been buds forever..He is so encouraging already & I have now have all my pre-op stuff done. Now all I have to do is lose 15 more pounds! I am struggling with that :*(

Dr. Broussard and his team are great! I live in Kansas and travel to Oklahoma to be a patient to him and his team. I feel his program including the wonderful aftercare program is exactly what I need to be successful. I am also a cash patient and he has great rates. Overall I give him and his team an A+!!!

I am pleased with the staff and the facilties at Weight Wise. They are very helpful and proactive. They kept on my about coming to the seminar all while processing paperwork and informing me of costs. I have had a one on one with Dr. Broussard and some prelim tests. I hope to meet Dr. Walton soon as well. The nurses and staff are all great to work with so far. Aftercare and emotional needs were addressed and that was a nice thing to know. RISKS were addressed in an honest way. I feel really good about this place. I will keep my blog updated if you want to read more.
