Center for Weight Loss Success, PC Bariatric Center
I have only been to the seminar given by Dr. Clark. He was very informative about the procedure he performs. I am in the medical field and have had the opportunity to meet several patients of Dr. Clarks and they have had nothing but good things to say about him. The office staff is very friendly.
My First impression was good about Dr. Clark. Hw wanted to make sure he covered all questions concering the surgery.
Dr. Clark is a very compassiant doctor.
Very Good office staff.Everything flows in his office.
There wasn't anything I didn't like.
He is the BEST. Both of my other doctors spoke highly of him and recommended hom for the surgery.
Aftercare is as important as the surgery. Your appointments are very structured.
Dr. Clark shares the risks of surgery in his consultantion and also let you know that anything he can control he will. He tries to forsee and cover anything that would prevent you from coming out of surgery and back to the healing process.
Dr. Clark and his office staff are wonderful. They patiently answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable. A member of his staff visited me everyday in the hospital and chatted for a few minutes (in addition to the Drs daily visit). I would highly recommend the Weight Loss Surgery Center and Dr. Thomas Clark to anyone who can travel to Newport News, VA.
I have not met Dr. Clark personally to date. I have listend to him in the informational seminar and I have dealt with his staff. Dr. Clark was very forth right during his presentation and is very personable. His staff is very helpful and patient with any questions that you have. Dr. Clark and his staff stress the need to be prepared before, during and after the surgery. His program is also filled with options of visits with dietician, personal trainer, etc. I did alot of research on the surgery and the surgeon prior to starting this process and I feel comfortable with my decision of using Dr. Clark and the type of surgery itself which is a combination of a VBG and Gastric Bypass.
My first impression of Dr. Clark was very good. He seemed very knowledgable about the type of surgery that he does. I feel I have chosen the right doctor for my needs. His staff seemed like they knew how to get you approved through your insurance company. But Tracy let me know that all i need for my insurance was the pschy elvaluation.
Dr. Clark is wonderful. I am the original patient from hell, I ask all kind of questions and want to know the most intriquit details. He answered everything.
I really like the confidence that Dr. Clark has in his procedure. The way he has the surgical process set up with training and visits to other Drs and the dieticiam was wonderful. No one can go wrong with his way of treating the whole person.
I have not had a personal appointment with Dr. Clark yet. I have attended his initial seminar and I felt Dr. Clark was very informative about the surgery as well as the risks. He answered questions honestly. Aftercare is definitely stressed. As well as the fact that this surgery is only a tool. You must change your behavior in your eating and exercise habits for it to be successful.
Dr. Clark removed my gallbladder 3 yrs. ago and I was so impressed with his skill and kindness. He was absolutely my choice for surgeon of the VBG procedure. AND, his bariatric patients think he's the best.
The office staff is understanding, kind, and efficient.
What I admire most about Dr. Clark is his Spirit and the way he uses his life to help others.
When talking with him, you are the most important person in the room.
He tries to prepare us for after surgery demands and possible problems, but everyone is so different, it's difficult to plan. His aftercare program is the usual follow-up visits and he makes sure there is a support group available, as well as his staff, for the duration of our needs, whether it be a year or lifetime.
We were definitely told of the risks of this surgery. He answers honestly any and all questions re: how many of his patients have died, and the reasons.
He is literally the person I'm putting my life in his hands. His skill is most important to me, but his bedside courteous manner is also fantastic.
I have no negative comments re: Dr. Clark, however, this is a serious decision we each must make for ourselves. This is just my opinion, and is not an expression to either have or not have this surgery. We are each individuals, with different needs and expectations, and able to make our own choices.
I am now 12 days post-op and Dr. Clark is absolutely the best. I had complications during surgery and he took care of them immediately. I'm so glad he's my doctor.
When I first saw Dr Clark, I thought this is a handsome gentleman! During the seminar he provided alot of information and answered every question that was asked of him. He made me feel like he really cared about me as a person. I like the fact that this is all he does is perform this surgery so I know he is very proficient in this. His office staff is so friendly and helpful. I haven't met many office staffs that have been so wonderful, but I guess when you work with a wonderful man you have a beautiful personality.
