Center for Wellness and Weight Loss Surgery Bariatric Center

My first impression of Dr. Tran was that he was very young but knowledgeable about everything I asked him. He was very nice, he listened to everything I had to say and gave me the time I needed to feel comfortable with him. His staff is very helpful but it is totally insane that I have to wait more than a month to see the psychiatrist he referred me to. It is just frustrating. I guess I dealt with the same weight problem all my life waiting another month will not kill me. Dr. Tran emphasizes aftercare a lot. They are the major support system for the weight loss. He emphasized the risk of surgery and he even mentioned that there could be death because of complications. Dr. Tran is an A+ doctor. I will post again after I have my surgery.
Ps: I forgot to mention, for the first time in a long time I sat on a chair and had no problem getting up. The chairs are super sized, or better, they are the right size.

Nice and Handsom

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF HIM WAS THAT HE IS TO YOUNG TO KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING.
OVER TIME, I REALIZE THAT HE IS A VERY CARING INDIVIDUAL WHO REALLY IS INTO HIS PATIENTS. WAS VERY INFORMATIVE .
THE STAFF IS VERY VERY PROFESSIONAL, GREAT!
ESPECIALLY THE NUTRITIONIST LAURIE JORDAN.
NOTHING!

TALK TO HIM AND HE LISTENS!


VERY MUCH SO.

YES

MOST DEFINITELY!!!

100****

ALL THE ABOVE!!!

I liked DR.Fullum.I first meet him at a support group meeting. He helped out with all the questions every one had.

His staff was GREAT to me they help out a lot.
The only thing I did not like was that you never get to see him until the end. I got to meet with his office staff.Then when every thing was done you get to see him.This was not a bad thing just different.

Dr. Fullum is great. He's a great surgeon who is in touch with GOD. He made my journey very comfortable. His office staff for the most part are very nice. His office can sometimes get very busy, so you end up waiting a long time. Getting peope on the phone is sometimes a challenge, but nothing to deter you from seeing him. His support group meetings are great. The fact that he heads the Bariatric Program a 3 different hospitals, is outstanding to me. He's alos very easy on the eyes ;-).

Aftercare has been great. I can call the dietician anytime with any question. She guides me in the right direction. I can also email Dr. Fullum anytime. He's a really kool guy.

I've met the surgeon twice. First impression was fine. Was very forthright with seriousness of lifestyle change and maintaining the agenda post surgery.

Office staff ok. Nutritionist very honest and committed.

Strong emphasis on aftercare. structured aftercare program.

will rate after surgery.

bboth great

i've found a surgeon by the name of dr. tran he's located in bridgeport ct at the bridgeport hospital my consultant day is 9-24-04, i'm a little nervous, i really don't what to expect.


9-24-04- met with doc tran i was quite surprised when i first saw him i thought that he was an much older guy, but he's from a foreign country, and i truly believe that when they attend school they really are dedicated to there practice. we'll i'm in my first stage of the run arounds i'm all set up for my lung test and consult with the doc as well for the sleep apnea. trying to get in touch with the dietician is a joke .

Dr. Harrington Dr. Fullums associate did my sugery and he gets an A+ in my book. He is very professional and he makes every patient feel as if were his only patient.

He was very knowledgable about the surgery and my personal condition. My impression of him stayed the same with my research of WLS. His office staff is great! I liked everything about Dr. Fullum. Dr. Fullums office is dedicated to helping you achieve your goal in weight loss. They have a great after surgery program for 18 months. That's what I liked the most. Dr. Fullum was very upfront with the risk of surgery at a Bariatric meeting which they give monthly. He also give you stats on patient success and deaths from the surgery. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give him a 10. What I have heard of Dr. Fullum is he has a great bedside manner and he's a caring doctor.

I thought he was down to earth. He talked in plain lanuage so I could understand what he was saying. He did not rush me thru my first appointment or acutually anytime I have spoken with with.
