Atlanta Bariatrics Bariatric Center

I am now 6 years out- and NO ISSUES - EVER!
Remail very pleased with the surgery performed by Dr. Hart.

Cyndi was my angel!! I believe she was in another position in 2010, but NOONE has been as supportive as she was!

Dr. Hart is a top notch first rate five star surgeon. I couldn't have been in any better hands. He is very quiet and reserved but very knowledgeable and super dedicated as well as being a talented surgeon. He is very open and will answers any and all questions. He answered all my questions before and after surgery to my satisfaction. He also has a very calming effect on you. I was nervous before surgery. He was very kind and reassuring. My stay in the hospital was also great. He checked on me and I felt very well taken care of. I had some complications after surgery when I got home (no fault of his). I was allergic to the internal stitches but after one call he had me on antibiotics and he called me a few times to check on me. He worked me in one day and removed the stitches. Great great post surgery care. I also like that he wants to see you EVERY year after surgery around your surgiversary. He wants to make sure you are doing well and it keeps you accountable. I LOVE that!
His office staff is also awesome. LaTonya is wonderful and helped us immensely with the insurance. His scheduling nurse Cyndi was just as great. She really worked with my schedule to schedule my surgery around my hectic life. His dietician Tracy is just wonderful. I can email her anytime. She has been a great help and lifeline to me at times.
I just can't say enough about Atlanta Bariatrics. I would highly recommend them and especially Dr. Hart. After my surgery I had to do a swallow test the check for leaks. That's just standard procedure. When the technician asked me who did my surgery and I told him Dr. Hart. His words as he looked at my test...Just pure perfection. I would agree. Having surgery was the best decision I have ever made and choosing Dr Hart to be my surgeon was the 2nd best decision in my weight loss journey. I am down 125 pounds and have reached my weight goal loss..actually I exceeded it. Off all of meds and a healthy BMI. I feel like a different person and I have my life back. My life back as a normal BMI and healthy weight life back. Dr Hart told me its about your health and a healthy BMI. He is realistic and just wants you to be healthy not have the body of a Victoria Secret model. He told me NO MORE DIETING after I reached my goal. I thought he would fuss at me because I wanted to lose more! He told me to eat healthy and exercise. I asked him if could get that in writing. LOL! He said he was so happy for me. And I really believe he means it. He cares about the patient's health and success.
Once again, I would highly recommend Dr Hart and Atlanta Bariatrics. They are just wonderful. Pre op and post op. I have no complaints and only high praise for them. They actually probably saved my life. And for that, I will be forever grateful! :)

Dr. Johnson was my surgeon at Atlanta Bariatrics. I could not be more pleased. Staff is wonderful and the staff at Johns Creek Hospital are exceptional as well.
Highly recommend Dr. Johnson and Dr. Hart.

Dr. Chris Hart is a good surgeon and did an adequate job with my surgery, as I expected he would. He has good outcomes and loads of surgical cases with good results. He doesn't have a very friendly demeanor and if you are looking for someone to baby you or give you loads of reassurances, he isn't your man.

I had no complaints with clinical outcomes or any medical issues. He continues to follow me (3 yr post op) and encourages working the program.

The main problem I had was with his surgical coordinator, Cyndi. She messed up the process from A to Z. I have read other reviews about how terrific she is, but this is the total opposite of the experience I had. She lost paperwork, sent my preauthorization to the wrong insurance company and more. What a disaster.

Because of her ineptness, my process began in early Feb., yet my surgery didn't take place till May. I understand making a mistake, but after repeated errors, she just kept making excuses and blaming others and said she was "overworked."

No, I didn't tell Dr. Hart, since I didn't want any bad feelings from the surgical team due to her lack of follow through and capability. Because of Cyndi, I haven't recommended this surgeon. Perhaps she has moved on and a new surgical coordinator has replaced her with adequate skills to get the process completed, without delays and excuses.

Surgery 07/2010. The Dr has a good reputation, but the support after surgery was terrible. He visited the patient next door to me, but did not come in to see me...Cyndi was terrific, but it was not her job to provide professional support. Hospital and the surgeon were not interested in providing support for Sleeve surgery.

Dr. Hart is a wonderful surgeon - the BEST! My surgery date was July 27, 2011 (Gastric Bypass). I was nervous, but the staff at Atlanta Bariatrics helped me through each step. Dr. Hart has a wonderful reputation for being the best at what he does! I knew he was the surgeon to perform my weight loss surgery. You will not find a more dedicated, professional staff! I have lost 50 pounds (11 weeks post-op). I still have much more to lose, but I know Dr. Hart's team will be with me, to support me, through this journey! "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!" Eventhough I am not "skinny" I love this saying! It just took me a while to realize it! Tricia Giles (Buford, Ga)

My Husband and I both had RNY Bypass surgery with Dr. Hart (10/20/10 & 11/10/10). We felt Dr. Hart and his staff gave us excellent care. They helped us through the process with insurance and any other questions and problems we had. We would recommend him.

Dr Hart and the team of professionals at Atlanta Bariatric have been very supportive, caring. informative, and encouraging through the pre op, surgery, and the post op period (3 weeks) today. They have been available for calls regarding healing, nutririon, and help in balancing proper diets. I strongly recommend them.

My surgeon was Excellent! I had gastric stapling when I was 17 years old, so Dr. Hart already had his work cut out for him when he did my Gastric Bypass 25 years later! The surgery went wonderful and no complications! He really knows what he's doing! I also just had my Gall Bladder removed last week, a year after my Gastric Bypass and Dr. Hart did that surgery as well! I wouldn't trust anyone else!
