hi,

I don't have direct experience...my sister-in-law & hair dresser used him & both think he is the greatest.

My hair dressers surgery was at the hospital in Arlington on I20 & my sister-in-law's was in Hurst at the surgery center.

On the other hand, my family doctor does not want me to use him...so I am choosing someone else. Go figure.

Don't know if this helps!

I'm still in my 6 months waiting period for insurance, with 3 almost 4 months down, 6months up in April. So hopefully, I will have surgery in April or May. The surgery center I'm going to has Dr's Carter, Marsden, Snow, Smith and I think I'm leaving someone out...I have not met any of them yet. As it happened, I went to a mini seminar without any of the doctors present, so I can choose any of them I want. I've been thinking I would attend one that they are giving, just so I could 'see' them and form an impression. I have heard good things about all of them. For some reason, I am really leaning towards Dr Marsden, maybe because he had performed the most lapband surgeries of this group.

Reading the forum on this website, all of those doctors I mentioned have good reviews from patients - and their staff. Lord knows that's important! So far, there has only been one staff person that I don't like to see when I go during this pre-surgery, pre-diet phase. But if I ask to see someone else, they always cheerfully get someone else to see me.

Don't know if this helps peachy, but hope so! When do you think you will have surgery?
