Dr. St. Laurent in Houston

[misseye 2]

I am looking at Dr St Laurent. Anyone use him? Good? bad? We are looking at self pay. Can anyone share about the costs with them? Also, I am wondering if anyone have any thoughts on how long it takes to get consultations and surgery scheduling (I am SO ready!). Thanks

I called today and they said I could come in today for a consultation. Being self-pay they seemed to think it might be fairly quick to get scheduled. I made the appointment for Friday because I needed time to schedule a sitter, but woohoo! :tongue:

I was banded by Dr. St. Laurent in October 08 and self-paid as well. I absolutely ADORE him. He's wonderful! He is thorough and very concerned about your needs. He is there to see you succeed! He is genuine and very down to earth. I always see him and never anyone else. I feel like he truly cares about me and my success! He’s wonderful. I’ve had two friends banded in Houston by other doctors. One of them has had their band removed after only having it a year because her “stomach flipped”. If you PM me, I’ll give you that doctor’s name. The other friend has no doctor here now that can do her fills. I am so happy that I researched it and have Dr. “Eye Candy”. He’s fabulous! :laugh: :tt1: :smile: :thumbup:

Go for it! You'll be so happy that you did. Feel free to stay in touch if you have any questions or concerns! Best of luck to you!

Bling 52 - I'm so glad you've had a pleasant experience with Dr. Eye candy thus far. I think he's top notch and he has a wonderful bed side manor. His staff is great as well. From what I've heard, he gets kinda pissy about the whole Dr. Eye Candy and easy on the eye comments. Just FYI. He wants to be known for his incredible talent and not looks. Hee Hee.

I would be willing to bet I could guess who your previous band doctor! I'll refrain from being tacky and allow you to address those who care to PM you.

Take care and best of luck with your success. You won't regret your choice with Dr. St. Laurent.

I also need to know who the other doctor/doctors where. I have my first consultant with a new doctor - I didn't care for the office staff - they didn't follow through with anything... they still haven't called me after my last failed attempt to get some testing done in their office (their machine was still broke after a month and they didn't call to tell me in advance of my appt.).... Pleasse PM me.

I'll PM you a few details I've run across. I'm not here to trash anyone but I'll provide you with what I can. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. A shitty staff is a bad sign. You'll deal with them just as much if not more often than you will the doctor. It's hard to sell yourself positively and professionally with half-assed support staff. That's one thing about Dr. St. Laurent's office - they girls are wonderful and so are the nutritionists! :thumbup:
