"Dr. Todd is a very, very kind man. He is efficient, funny, and fairly straight forward. When I was still debating between the band and RNY, he brought in two of his staffers who had two different surgeries, and had them debate it out for me, without telling them what I was interested in. He didn't let me leave the office until I'd heard two sides of each story.rnrnHis office staff is very nice, albeit a bit informal at times. That is, however, a personal preference and it may not bother you at all. They are supportive and kind, even when taking your money. LOLrnrnSo far so good. Will update after I go through the surgery.rnrn8/27/2009 - Okay, so my surgery was on the third, and I've had the chance to experience Todd's aftercare. I am happy to report that it's just as thorough as the pre-op care.rnrnI recently had a stricture and wound up getting fluids in the ER on base. The on call doc paged him to discuss the situation with him, and he told her to send me to his office at 8 am Monday morning, that it might be a stricture, and he wanted to see me himself. He could've just sent me to the endoscopy doc, but he wanted to check on me himself. Then, he told her, \"Please tell her I said hello.\" How nice is that?rnrnThat Monday morning, he was running a little late, but eventually rushed in, hugged me and said, \"What is going on with you, my dear? I'm sorry I'm late, this surgery took a little longer than I thought. Now let's get you fixed up.\" He proceeded to check me over, then call the endoscopy doc HIMSELF. How many doctors do that??rnrnI'm very satisfied with my bariatric surgeon. Plus, he sent me a coughing moose in the hospital whom I have since named \"Bari.\" LOL"
"I had the most excellent nurses (Pam and Eric), and Emily was a delightful aide. At no point did I feel that I was bothering any of my personal care team. The front desk nurses than answer your the nurse button, however, sound annoyed, but NEVER did that make it to my room with my nurses and aide. My care lacked nothing but room space!"
