John Pender Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

Dr Pender is one of the Best along with his staff. So far they have been helpful and they listen. He is not standoffish. He does notice things you may not. He returns calls promptly and doesn't make you feel like you were a bother. While their office is busy now more than ever most times someone there nows the answer. Now they did misplace my file for a while and those things happen. I just didn't call every week but when I did to see what was going on they found out and owed up to it and got it all together and submitted. They didn't pass the buck which i respected. They gave me after care information. Some wasn't the same as the nutrisionist but I followed his. He emphasize that for the next year I was to see him and make him aware of any medical issues, fevers, colds, hospital visits. As far as I know he has not lost a patient and is serious on his patients outcomes. I have heard some that did not get to see him but one of his assistants on follow up but that has not been my case so far. It is a medical school but one of the best. This was the way I was treated and my experiance.

I thought that he was very understanding and took time to explain the entire surgery from pre-op ro post-op. He was very informative. The office staff was very pleasant and I love his nurse. She seemed to know what he wanted to order before he ordered it. I liked the fact that she was up on her toes at all times. No complaints. Very professional and courteous people. I haven't had surgery yet but I am waiting on my new insurance card to come in the mail. rnrnOk, got my letter, had my final visit and as always he was straight to the point. He let me know that this was a lifestyle change and asked me and my support person was we ready for it. YES! I can hardly wait the days are getting longer to me. Anyway, he still an awesome, professional man and I would highly recommend him to anyone. But you must be prepared for the Natural Truth!

My first impression of Dr. Pender was classic doc. He was nice, quick, and appropriate. He has a large staff so I remembered names and kept with the same 2 office people and they were nice. What future patients should know about him is that he's good. Remember to talk to him though. It's a training hospital and you end up talking to students and interns. Overall score for my provider was a 9. It would have been 10, but the interns and med students just get confusing. Dr. Pender has great surgical competence and bedside manner.

Dr. Pender in Greenville NC, has been very nice and supportive, will let you know more when I'm on the losing side.

Well I'm on the loosing side, and I have to tell you Dr. Pender is the BEST!! He also has a great support team. He explains everything he did, why you'll feel the way you do, and takes all the time you need. Stresses after care also. I could not have ask for any better. Love them all!
