Dr. Colleen Kennedy moving to Texas

Well I just got my letter and my Doc is moving.....already I'm so unsure if I really want to do the surgery, could this be an omen?  A shout out to all ya'll Dr. Richardson patients....is he a nice guy?

Yes, I knew she was leaving but I am not mentally prepared for that yet! Roz

I was upset about it when I heard a few weeks ago. But then I talked to "Daydream Believer" who is Dr. Richardson's patient, and I feel a lot better about having to see him. She said he takes his time and really talks to you. I just had a bad impression of him from the seminar, but she said he's just not good at talking to groups, but he's better one-on-one. Don't give up on the surgery because  of this! Jen

FYI: I was a Richardson patient.... and I was a postop care nurse on the bariatric unit for a year first (moved to TX too)... I'm quite impressed at his skill, both as a professional and as a patient!! He's a quiet type guy, but he's got a great personality, give yourself a chance to get to know him one on one... he sat and held my hand while I cried (after a denial) and I just adore him.... He did my gallbladder surgery in 2005, and then did my RNY March 2007. I'm now 3.5 months postop and down 75 lbs!! That's **5** sizes!! You should see me now!

Kat, That is a great weight loss. You are doing so good!

I love Dr Richardson. I would recommend him to everyone. He takes his time and is very nice. Pattie

Dr. Richardson is much better one on one. He's never rushed me through an appointment, and he answers every question I have, and then asks if I have anymore.

I had a very hard time after surgery with the anestesia. My wls was no problem at all. Dr. Richardson took the best care of me while I was in the hospital for 10 days. He's a good guy and truly cares about his patients. You can't go wrong with Dr. Richardson, Laura the NUT, and all of his awesome staff.
