Dr M Wood

Hi everyone Just new to the Michigan board ,and I am wondering what you all think of Dr.Wood and DMC Harper University Hospital Thank you Debbie

HI DEBBIE, I JUST HAD MY RNY ON 09/20/2007 BY DR WOOD AT HARPER HOSPITAL.   I HAD 3 CONSULTS AT OTHER CENTERS AND DR WOODS BY FAR WAS THE BEST.  HIS EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, AND PROFESSIONALISM BLOWS THE OTHERS OUT OF THE WATER.  IT IS TRULY THE BEST THING I HAVE EVERY DONE FOR MYSELF, AND I BELIEVE I WILL FINALLY BE SUCCESSFUL IN MY BATTLE AGAINST MY OBESITY.  MY ONLY REGRET IS I SHOULD HAD DONE THIS YEARS AGO!!!!! DARLA  

Hi Darla, Thank you so much,and congrats on your surgery,I hope that you have a speedy recovery.I too have been to Dr Woods' consult,I was there Aug29th and I felt very good about him,and have decided to have him do my surgery.I feel very confident in his abilities and vast experience,I guess I was just looking for others opinions.I hope to be on the "losers" bench soon.How was the hospital,your stay there? Thanks again Debbie

Debbie, Dr. Wood did my surgery also.  He's the best.  I had my surgery almost 18 months ago and am doing well. Jeanne

Hi Jeanne Thanks a lot,I have met the man and I think highly of him as well,I am wondering about aftercare as well.Were you at Harper University ?I know that he left Cori for reasons I won't say on here .Keep up the good work ,I hope to going for mine real soon. Debbie

MY INITIAL CONSULT WAS DONE WITH WOODS BUT TAYLOR DID MY SURGERY AND I LOVE THEM....MY EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT WITH THEM AND AT HARPER......I HAVE RECOMMEDED THEM TO A COUPLE OF FRIENDS SINCE MY PROCEDURE AND THEY HAVE CHOSEN ABMI AS THEIR CHOICE AND HAVE DATES COMING UP SOON.

I also had my surgery done by Dr. M. Wood, Oct, 2006.  I think he's awsome.   No problems with DMC Harper, the staff was great.  You couldn't be in better hands. Good Luck, Kathy A.

Hi Ladies, Thank you so much for all the positive input,I too agree that Dr Wood is awesome and very very experienced,I will let you know when i get a surgery date. Thank you once again and congrats to all! Debbie

Hi  Debbie, Dr Wood is awesome. I had open Rny(micro pouch) done by him April 6 2006. I feel sooooo great and have lost 101 pounds. I wish you all the best. And in my eyes you have choosen the best surgeon. Good luck to you. Any questions please feel free to contact me. Also i too went to harper hospital, my stay there was also good. DeAnn

Hi Debbie! I was just scrolling through the MI board and saw your post.  Let me just say, you must choose Dr. Wood!  He really is fantastic, very caring and very professional.  He has alot of experience and that is what really counts.  I had Lap RNY 12/18/06 (just over 9 months ago) and I have lost 144 pounds - it really has been a great experience.  I started my WLS process with a surgeon from the Beaumont Weight Loss Center but switched to Dr. Wood (then CORI center) because of my insurance.  The Doctor at Beaumont had much less experience and it made me nervous, then I met Dr. Wood and knew that I was in good hands, it really was a sense of relief.  His staff, especially the ones who help you get approved, are really really great.  The hospital stay was a breeze, excellent staff and experience, and Dr. Wood will check on you over and over and over again.  My scars are tiny, tiny and look really good.  I never had any complications with the surgery either.  I sometimes attend support groups at the Center but prefer the after care program at Beaumont - the groups have more of a focus on education not just round table discussion, and they have cooking/eating classes too - this is just personal preference.  I did alot of research before surgery and was looking for professionals to give me more than just the basics.  Anyway, Darci the nutritionist at Dr. Wood's office is very knowledgeable and professional too, and she always calls you back on the same day - I appreciate that!  I know I am giving you alot of info but you have a big decision to make.... just let me know if you want any more info.   Thanks, Rebecca
