Alabama Surgical Associates, PC Bariatric Center

Dr Foreman is a wonderful bariatric surgeon. Bedside manner is great. SKills are awesome. Would recommend him and his staff.

I called for my initial appointment. The staff was efficient, within in a week I was seeing the Dr. I was introduced to the staff before meeting the Dr. They would help me on my journey, they were friendly and most courteous. My first impression of Dr. Suggs was that he was so young. I questioned if he had enough experience to help me. Within in moments of speaking with him about my medical history his expertise was more than satisfactory to me. I knew I had found a Dr. who cared about my better health. He answered all my questions and concerns. He told me of the risks with the various surgeries he performed. He suggested which type of surgery would be best for my health. I did not feel I was rushed through my appointment. He listened! This was in 2011 October. My first steps were to be set up with Dr. Suggs nutritionist who would follow my diet and guide me for the next 7 months (insurance requirement). My surgery was approved and I had the RNY on July 13, 2012. Since then I have seen Dr. Suggs 4 or 5 times on follow up schedule. Each time we have addressed weight loss, I've seen the nutritionist, followed a specific vitamin regime and exercise. We also have a monthly support group that is very helpful in keeping us accountable and up to date. I am grateful that his practice is in a nearby city. His staff has changed since my surgery but I am grateful for their help and guidance. I think having competence and bedside manner are both good! Dr. Suggs has both! Thank you for giving me better health. This dr. cares about his patients. He plans to attend our support group meeting in the near future. His nutritionist has spoken with our group a few months ago and brought a wealth of knowledge to share with us. Thank you Tamara. Thank you Dr. Suggs and Thank you Cathy for being a great staff!

Dr Foreman gets right to business. He answers your questions without a bunch of fluff. He's busy and I'm busy, so I appreciated the no nonsense aire with which we went through the whole process. It was 3 weeks from 1st visit to surgery. His entire office staff is very proficient and help move the process forward.

I was comfortable with the first visit felt very safe and secure with him doing my surgery.
My first impression has only gotten better in fact just after surgery Dr. Foreman even craked a joke when he came in to check on me. He is great!
there is nothing i don't like about Dr. Foreman.
that he has a very excellent sucess rate in his surgeries.
he is very strict with his aftercare and that is why he has such a great sucess rate.
yes a very structured after care program he gives you a book to follow and a day by day sample menu that helps you along your journey.
He told me the risks associated with the RNY and even showed me step by step what he was going to do during surgery too.
I would rate Dr. Foreman a 10 out of a 5 star rating :)
Both the bed side manner and the Surgical competence is Great!
I do not have anything negative to say about Dr. Foreman I know it may seem weird but I am 100% totaly happy with my surgery I am 12 days post-op and doing wonderful I have lost a total of 16 pounds 6 of which was before surgery. I am very happy with this whole process but this is my own opinion and your opinion may be different once you meet him but for me this has been and is a great experience.

He was great.

I first met Dr. Foreman in August 2007 at a seminar given by him and his collegue Dr. Facundus. There was alot of drama and confusion due to a change in my insurance shortly after the seminar. I thought I was going to have to use another surgeon, but Dr. Forman saved the day so to speak! It was a blessing that he was able to hear of my situation and offer assistance.rnrnMy first visit with him was the first that I walked out of feeling better about my decision instead of more nervous and confused! He did not try to change my mind about the surgery I chose; he just told me the facts. I love to joke and make people laugh, but he was a tough crowd! All business... but he answered all of my questions with patience & confidence. The surgery center is expanded by the Bariatric Wellness Institute which offers full service pre & post operative support including a nutritionist. The office manager with whom I have worked on my insurance approval is very patient and helpful, as is his nurse. I am excited about my journey and *so* glad to have Dr. Foreman & his team to help me along the way!

I met with my surgeon on Wednesday, April 9th. My husband and I were very pleased with Dr. Foreman. He went over the surgery, the risks as well as the benifits. I feel very confident in him and would recommend him to anyone.The Office Staff were friendly and very helpful. I am looking forward to having my surgery as soon as Dr. Foreman gets all my test reports back.

I found Dr. Foreman to be very professional and knowledgable about the lapband procedure. His demeanor was somewhat distant however, he was very throrough in his examinations; he required me to provide documentation of some previous medical tests that I had undergone. I really appreciiated the fact that he did not try to win me over by being extremely friendly, he let his expericince and knowledge guide our interaction. Upon my first visit to Dr. Foreman's office, I received a complete collection of materials to help guide me through this experience-the packet addressed issues relevant to pre- and post surgery. Dr. Foreman and I discussed the risks of the surgery on numerous occasions-he did not mininimize the risks. I consider Dr. Foreman and excellect doctor and surgeon; he is well trained, professional, and committed to high standards of service. Dr. Foreman is surgically competent and he has a pleasant bedside manner.

I was very impressed. He was very thorough in explaining the risks. I was given a checklist to take to my family doctor indicating which tests needed to be scheduled and which ones he just wanted the reports on. I had to wait a long time & he apologized. He asked if I had any questions. He went over all the report results. Said he would probably fix my hiatal hernia.

I was very impressed by Dr. Foreman and would rate him a 10 out of 10. He is very professional, friendly, kind and caring. His surgical competence and bedside manner were outstanding. He gives detailed explanations, makes sure you understand the benefits and risks associated with the surgery. Aftercare is stressed and explained thoroughly and my food selections, vitamins, exercise, and general health have been discussed at every visit. His nurse and office staff are always friendly and willing to help or answer any questions you have. I have not had a negative experience with either Dr. Foreman or his office staff.
