NTXGal 1 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I'm two months into the appointments process with Dr, Kim's office and I've been getting the run around for the last two weeks. My coordinator doesn't reply to my emails and voicemails, and can't be bothered to answer a quick question. It takes all of 30 seconds to send a quick email. Everything is all clear, I'm cash pay so there's no insurance red tape, and I still don't have a date scheduled. I guess they are too busy to bother to reply to my emails or calls. I'm not one to chase after someone to give them my money...I won't beg for your services. I'll move on if me, my health, and my money aren't important to you. So, all that being said, I read that Dr. Wade Barker has been rated D-Magazine's Best 3 times, two of those two years in a row. Anyone used him for gastric sleeve or had experience with his office? Thanks!! Edited February 24, 2016 by NTXGal 1 Ms. Brightside reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thucydides 250 Posted February 24, 2016 I'm sorry to hear about the problems that you ran into. I also had similar issues with a different surgeon's office before I switched surgeons. While I don't have any experience with Dr. Barker, I did have a very good experience with Dr. Nick Nicholson who is also rated as a "Best" bariatric surgeon by D-Magazine. I've found his staff to be very responsive and accommodating to my requests. Best of luck with finding a surgeon that works for you and for your surgery!

BobrobynR 17 Posted February 28, 2016 I used Dr Kim for my surgery. Sorry you're experiencing some frustration. They have two office locations. Which one are you having troubles with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barker48 44 Posted February 28, 2016 I used dr stowers of my bariatric solutions in Decatur. But they also have an office in Fort Worth. He was great and all of his staff is great as well. I highly recommend checking into him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnytiff 49 Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Have you called the office manager to see what is going on? If I hadn't got a call back from my coordinator in a few days I would be calling another area of the office to get help. Your coordinator may no longer be working there or maybe you are typing in the incorrect email address or calling the wrong extension? I used Dr Kim. They were wonderful to work with. That is not like them to not call you back so there must be a reason you are not getting a call back. Edited February 29, 2016 by Tiffatavon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dallaslady 0 Posted March 21, 2016 I'm going to use Dr McCarty March 28th, I had my first appointment with him on March 3rd, did the EDG on March 18 for the hernia check so insurance would pay for the operating room and my surgery date is the 28th. It all happened very quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
