Novant Carolina Surgical Charlotte Bariatric Center
Dr. Lowe was the ulitmate professional. I felt assured of his expertise, but it wasn't cloaked in superiority. He patiently answered all of the questions that DH and I had regarding the surgery and follow-up. He was supportive in my taking this step toward lifetime weight loss. rnrnAt the hospital he continued to be supportive and complimentary of my commitment to the liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I have had no complications.rnrnDr. Lowe is superior. He possesses a great deal of expertise and exudes a quiet, reliable strength!
Dr. Melkonian did a great job. He took good care of me. He came in after the surgery everyday to check on me. He answered all of my questions, even the crazy ones. rnrnI am glad that I chose him to do the surgery. I have already told others about him and a few of them have already called his office to set up an appointment.
It takes a few months to get to actually see Dr. Melkonian but when I met him, I found him to be very warm and caring. My family felt very comfortable with him post op as he answered their questions. His nurse practitioner, Patty is awesome. Carrie was very good when i could finally reach her but my experience with others in the front office was not as good. I am not sure if it was a backlog from the holidays but some of them were downright rude. Would i chose him again, for sure!!!
I met Dr Melkonian at a seminar at Presbyterian Hospital. He was very friendly and informative. He seems to have a very caring demeanor. I have not seen him since, I am scheduled to meet him next week. However, I have been talking with his staff constantly. Carrie & Michelle are wonderful to deal with.
Bed Side Manners, that was very important to me. I also wanted someone that knew what they were doing and really understood it. I found that Dr. Lowe had every answer to my questions and didn't make me feel rushed. He encouraged questions and he was so genuine, nothing fake about him...that I could see. I look forward to going back to him for my first fill. rnrnThanks Dr. Lowe and Staff!rnYou all were Great!
My first impression of Dr.Lowe that he was very warm and friendly, very easy to talk too. Over time it grew he is very understanding and caring. Welll some of his office staff is very helpful, there are a few but I will continue. I finally met him two weeks prior to surgery. Dr.Lowe is an excellent choice very knowledgeable. Aftercare is VERY important, he emphasises that very well. There is a structured aftercare program. All risks were laid out nothing was hidden. Overall I would rate im a 10. To be honest both were great even in the worst of times he still encourages you and gives you hope.
Dr. Lowe was very proffessional and took time to explain things in easy to understand terms. He showed his support of the weight that i had already lost. Dr Lowe performed my surgery on 01-16-08, it was not at all what i had thought it would be like after the operation. I was exspecting alot of pain and discomfort for days. However I have had very little pain, alot of gas but very little pain, I was up and moving the same day. I think me getting out of the bed and walking done wonders.
when i first met my surgeon i just felt so comfortable and i felt relaxed and i just knew he gonna make sure im alright the people in the office are very nice i would recommend him to anyone who want the surgery cause he listen and he care and he explained the surgery word for word and he answered any questions i had i would rate him him 1 out of 10 i would give him a 9 he is a wonderful man
Dr. Lowe is very supportive and has great bedside manner. All of my questions were answered and explained thoroughly.
