Need a good PCP in the Columbia, SC area

I'm looking for the names of some PCP's in the Columbia area who have experience with weight loss surgery patients.   I do not have a PCP at all and I am planning on having surgery so a PCP is needed.  If anyone knows a doctor who meets these criterias please provide their name and phone number. 1) I am looking for someone who is nice and friendly 2)  who I can get an appointment with fairly quickly if needed  3)  do not make me wait an hour before actually seeing me at appointment time 4) It is important that they have experience working with patients who have had WLS 5) Must not have a negative attitude about patients who seek weight loss surgery.   If you know anyone who meets these criteria, please let me know.

Dalton *****ett and palmetto health baptist weight management center. He is doing my surgery tommorrow!!! hes a super nice man and he prays for his patients

It is difficut to find a PCP that doesn't make you wait forever to see them once you get to the office.  My PCP is GREAT, you can get an appt. but sometimes you have to wait a long time to see him once you get to the office.  He is 100% supportive of WLS and referred me to Riverside, Dr. Strickland. Dr. David P. Lyle, Lexington Family Practice, Powell Dr., Lexington SC. 803.957.8400 Riverside is GREAT for WLS too.  Dr. Strickland is a wonderful surgeon...
