Right now the only time I have meet him was at the group meeting. I really liked him and he seemed very straight forward, with no BSing!!
Very knowledgeable and caring. He believes in what he does and in helping his patients achieve their goals. He makes sure you understand that WLS is a tool and you are responsible for using it....but he and his staff will offer all the help you need to achieve your goal. He's very professional and has a great sense of humor....
Dr. Walton was very compassionate and non judgemental. He gave me all the options and explained it in detail. The office staff were more than friendly. When I go in they say hello. I guess they remember the patients. Alot of the staff have or are going to have the surgery. What a testimonial. This is a very structured program before, during and after surgery. You meet with the doctor, nutritionalist,and exercise physiologist troughout. If you have a question for the nutritionalist, you can just email her for a quick response or she will call you when she is free. I would highly recommend Dr. Walton to anyone. I give him an A++++. He was great before surgery and after.
He is seriously half man half amazing, not joking I just love him to death. The first time I meet him I had a list and I do mean a list of questions and he sat down and answered each one. Dr. Walton wanted to make sure I understood exactly what I was doing, what he expected from me before surgery and after. There was no gray area, you know when someone is not playing and he was not. Yes he would joke around and laugh at my stupid jokes or off the wall comments but I knew if I did not comply with the program this surgery was not going to happen. With that being said Dr. Walton made sure I understood this was a life change, not something for 6 months and I could go back to doing what I did before, but he said something that stuck with me, \" If I was committed to this (the program and life change) he would be committed to me as my doctor. Sounds kinda funny but makes sense at least to me.rnWhen you walk into Weightwise and the hopsital you forget it is a business and it is like your going to see old friends. Everyone knows your name and they care about you. If you want to go some place where you are just patient number 243232 then no this place is not for you. The staff is wonderful even the 3 people I did not like the other 40+ people made up for them 1000 fold. Just wish I could go here everytime I am sick. But oh well still a good place.rnSo I am suppose to rate him overall, I promise you on everything that I hold dear and love you can not find a better doctor. I am a patient from hell only getting sick on weekends and 3 am...of course and with it all he has been so nice and just hell general concerned. So hands down you could not do better. Girl Scouts honor!
Dr. Broussard,Did an excellant job presenting all the information that I needed to know in regard to the options of weight loss surgery, the risk, aftercare, and his expectations of his patients. He was very honest and straight to the point and I really liked that about him. He let everyone there know that the surgery was only 40% of the process, lifestyle changes, exercise and diet are the remaining 60%. I feel that I would choose him as my surgeon because I feel that he would be someone that would and could make me accountable for anything that I was not doing appropriately in regard to my weight loss success. He is uplifting and beleives in what he does and what weightwise has to offer. I feel that surgical competence and bedside manner are both very important. I want someone competent and I also want someone that cares about me who wants to answer my questions. What I have seen of Dr. Broussard he appears to be an excellant surgeon that cares and wants to help people fight obesity.
I felt the surgeon had a really informative and pleasant personality.rnMy impression of him increased greatly over time in a positive mannerrnThe staff was very helpful and kind.rnNothingrnThat he seems to genuinely care about his patients and wants to see them succeed.rnThere is a lot of emphasize on aftercare.rnThey have a very structured aftercare programrnI think he done really well at explaining the risks.rnI rated him a nine overall since no one is perfect lol! Extremely well!rnI feel surgical competence is better but of course both competence and bedside manner is important.
My surgeon is wonderful! He's been upfront, honest and truthful from the very beginning. To combat my diabetes I had to go on insulin, causing me to regain all my pre-op weight. I've had to reschedule my surgery from 01-14-09 to 01-21-09 and feel very lucky that he's concientious enough to postpone it.
My first impression of Dr. Broussard was he was a knowledgeable no-nonsense type of guy. I was thoroughly impressed that the seminar was as detailed as it was and I appreciated his toughness in spelling out what would be expected of me and what we could expect from him. He was very tough about what I had to do as far as prerequisites for surgery and although it got frustrating at times, I appreciated his thoroughness.rnrnThe office staff was very nice and easy to work with. He really emphasized aftercare and stressed drinking all of your water daily. They provide a very structured aftercare program. He went over the risks very thoroughly especially since I had more risks than the average person.rnrnI rate Dr. B very high and recommend him to everyone who will listen! His bedside manner was good and I have no complaints on the surgical portion of it although I am still healing.rnrnI am one of the lucky ones to have had complications but all-in-all I can't complain. Dr. B. has helped me get through all of my hurdles and I would still recommend him again to anyone considering weight-loss surgery.
Dr. Walton is a very amazing man! He has changed my life ! The staff is EXCELLENT !! Aftercare is very important and Dr. Walton and his staff do a wonderful job seeing that you understand every aspect ! I have never felt good about things when I left a hospital until after my experience with Dr. Walton and his staff !! I have a new lease on life and they have my undying gratitude !!
