"Dr. Abdullah was very professional. He explained everything - what to expect. I felt I was in good hands, and I am so pleased with my results. I would highly recommend him! "

"The staff up on the nursing floor was not all trained on gastric bypass and a CNA didn't know where my gall bladder was. Attention during the night was bad, I would be pacing the hallways due to the hyperness the pain medications gave me and they didn't want to talk to me. When I was discharged, they brought out a regular sized wheelchair which was too small for me, and then made a big deal of ordering a big wheelchair for my escort out which took a long time to come. There were some staff that were very nice and a CNA that had the surgery, she should have been assigned to me all the time. It sure helped to have her there."

"My first impressions of Dr. Howell is that he's very knowledgable of this surgery. He's kind, straight to the point, and is very organized so I knew that things were going to so smoothly with my insurance. His staff were so friendly. Cindy Schwab, his assistant is so caring, she called me and we exchanged emails to keep things moving forward. I know that both Dr. Howell and Cindy have answered the same questions thousands of times, but their answers were personally directed to me, and didn't act like this was the 1,000th time of telling the same thing. I would like future patients to know that Dr. Howell has done over 4,000 gastric bypass procedures and has perfected the procedure over 30 years."
