Prior to to meeting Dr Tran I was in a different program, when I met Dr Tran it was like I had already been two years post op, that's how much of a weight was lifted off my shoulders. His staff especially ms Alfreda whom has had the procedure was very knowledgeable and understanding and most importantly on top of thing including the insurance company. I just had my procedure 1/30/13 so I will update but for now love him love him love him

When I met Dr. Fullum I really liked his personality. He told me he could help me with my revision and that got me excited. However sad to say it never happended. The clinical person was very unorganized. First she could not find my paper work, then she said she would call me and after I week of not hearing from her I had to call back. She scheduled me to have a test done and when I got there for my appoitment she had not gotten approval for my test from my insurance so I had to sit for 2 hrs to wait for her to do this, after the 2nd hour I still had not had the test so I just left and never reschedueld to return to that office again.

I was referred to Dr. Fullum (Howard University Hospital)by a co-worker who had the surgery performed a couple of years ago at Providence Hospital. I am having a revision on June 10, 2010. Dr. Fullum is extremely knowledgeable and personable. He is upfront with everything you need to do in order to have a successful surgery. The amount of information you receive on your first visit is amazing you have everything you need to know from beginning to end. He is definitely an expert in his profession. The staff are superb they and this is what makes the practice a successful one. I would highly recommend him and his staff.

Revision surgery 1/19/10 with Dr. Terrence Fullum. OMG - What a doctor. Fabulous bedside manner. Patient. Takes time to answer questions. Office staff and support are AWESOME. Has the most comprehensive program. I wish my initial surgery had been here but since it wasn't I am so happy that my revision was here!rnrn----rnrnrn2002 - My initial Surgery was with Dr. William Roe is very sincere and I am pleased that I found him! Dawn took care of my insurance and had me approved in ONE day. I think they will be getting busier as word gets around and waiting time for appointments and surgery dates will get longer - but it is worth it.

Dr. Tran was and is a great man. He was sympathetic to my plight and had an plan that would give me the life I longed for. my first impression was a good one. He was very personable. The office staff leaves a little to be desired, but overall they are okay. There is nothing that i can say bad about him or his practice as a whole. His staff and himself fully explained the risks and benefits of surgery. The morning of my surrgery, I was excited but moments before i went in I had a moment of panic. Dr. Tran said a quick prayer with me and all was well. His surgical competence was superior, but I didnt see him at all post op, his associate was great as well. I would and do recommend people who I talked to about bariatric surgery to consider his practice.

I met with Dr Brody back in April. He was REALLY nice and straight to the point. His staff was extremely helpful especially carlita. Unfortunately, I wasnt approved due to it not being a \"specific condition caused by a specific disease\" whatever that means so I requested a peer-to-peer. Im awaiting the results of that now. My HR person said to see if Dr. Brody can word it differently cause my job and my insurance DO cover it so Im in waiting mode at the moment. If denied again, which I have been 3 times now the other 2 were with carefirst, now Im with NCPPO, then I will try another Dr. Well, I moved to Dr. Fullum, and once again a denial due to it being an exclusion unless the obesity is caused by another disease NOT for weight loss. So SIGH Ive given up for the most part. rnrnrnUPDATE!!!! rnGot new insurance and already spoke with them and they cover the surgery!!! They also cover revisions and plastic surgery 18 months down the line. I go to Dr. Fullum tuesday to get my package together to give to the insurance people for approval. Wish me luck.rnrnUPDATE!!!rnFINALLY got things together. Im in the process of my 6month prestuff. Im already in my 4th month. Looking to have it either late march or late april. My insurance requires the 6month prestuff so Im well on my way

Dr. Tran is wonderful Doctor he is very much a Doctor of facts. He very kind. Truthful he did not hold anything back, he was very upfront. And he has remained such and is still very caring whenit comes to my care.rnBlue Point Surgical Group is made up of great staff and other wonderful doctors.rnDoctor Tran gives as much information up front about the bypass as anyone really can...he goes over the surgery what can happen and what will most likly happen, hospital stay, soon afterwards, and long term. He was wonderful when he came to see me in the hospital twice after surgery, and then visited almost everyday. I would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a truly wonderful experience.
