I have an appointment scheduled with Dr Hart for the first week in August. This will be my initial consultation.
My first impression was good. He is to the point, doesn't waste your time or his. I like that. He asked me several times if I had other questions. So far I am very happy with my choice.
I met Dr. Hart today for the first time. He made me feel very comfortable from the start with a little joke. I felt he was very knowledgable about the surgery. His office staff was very friendly and helpful also. What you should know when you go there- is to make sure you have written done your diet history and have your medical necessity letter. He did not emphasize after care. However, he did say to read this book and learn what to expect after the surgery. He also emphasized that you have to eat right.
I was VERY impressed with Dr Hart. He was warm and wonderful. He made me feel confident in the decision that I made and I felt good about choosing him!
I had my first appt with Dr. Hart on 4/2/03. He's very pleasant and has a way of putting you at ease. I did not feel rushed at all. He wanted to make sure he answered all my questions.
DR HART AND HIS STAFF ARE THE BEST, MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF DR HART WAS THAT HE KNEW HIS STUFF. HE DIDN'T JUST THROW YOU IN A GROUP AND MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE A PART OF A ASSEMBLY LINE , HE WAS THERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I HAD . HE OFFERED ME THE BOOK TO READ BEFORE HE PROCEEDED WITH HIS CONSULT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD ABOUT THE DESCISION I MADE. I WOULD RECCOMMEND HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO ANYONE.
I actually found Dr. Hart on this website. I was looking for surgeons in the Atlanta area. I read many, many posts from patients of other surgeons. Some sounded like their staff had dropped the ball on paperwork and insurance filing. A surgeon of course must be good, but his office staff can make or break him. Dr. Hart's patients all spoke highly of his staff, so I made an appointment with him. I had to wait nearly a month just for my initial appointment. I was impressed with his manner. He has done quite a number of these procedures and has never had a leak. While his staff has always been busy when I call, they still take time to answer my questions. I'm sure some of my questions they have heard a hundred times. At this point, I'm waiting for insurance approval. Once I have that, I'll be able to comfirm my date. I'm on Dr. Hart's calendar (in pencil). LOL

DR. BURROWES WAS VERY NICE AND EXPLAINED ALL OF MY OPTIONS AND EVEN MADE DRAWINGS SO THAT MY HUSBAND AND I COULD UNDERSTAND BETTER.
HE DOES STRESS THE FOBI POUCH ALTHOUGH I THINK THAT I AM GOING WITH THE REG. SURGERY. I DON'T HAVE THE $4,000 FOR OUT OF POCKET.
MY APPT. WAS AT 11:00 AND I WASN'T OUT OF THERE UNTIL 1:30 WHICH WAS PRETTY GOOD FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD.

I HAD MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH DR. HART TODAY AND I REALLY DO LIKE HIM. HIS OFFICE IS SO MUCH EASIER TO GET TO THAN THE LAST DOCTOR.I AM GETTING CLOSER TO THE LOSING SIDE.
4-28-2003 I AM REALLY HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING EVERYTHING CHAGED OVER TO DR. HART.
I WAS APPROVED ALREADY THROUGH DR. BURROWES
SEEMD LIKE IT SHOULD BE AS SIMPLY AS CHAGING THE DOCTOR NAME ON A PIECE OF PAPER. THAT
WOULD BE WONDERFUL BUT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
Dr. Hart is wonderful. My first impression was that he is very knowledgable about this surgery, and that he wants to educate his patients.
My impression has only continued to grow in favor of Dr. Hart.
Dr. Hart's office staff is knowledge and generally friendly.
The office is very busy, so be patient, it may take time to get an appointment, but it is worth the wait.
Dr. Hart empahsizes that it is very important to follow the Obesity Surgery Book to the letter.
He carefully explained step by step, what the surgery entailed, and the possible risks and side effects. I felt that with the information he gave me, and after the inital conversation that we had, that I was very informed to make my decision to have the surgery.
Both his bedside manner and his competence are great. He takes extra measures to insure that his patients are comfortable. For example when entering the surgical room, I noticed that he had arranged to have extra thick padding placed on the surgical table. I had very little back pain after surgery. Also, If I felt like I needed something in the hospital and the nurses weren't cooperating, I simply had to ask him.
He is fantastic! I highly recommend him.
