WeightWise Bariatric Program Bariatric Center

Dr. Broussard is orginially from Louisiana so the first thing you notice is his accent. He is a very caring doctor that nevers minds you calling him. He has a great bedside manner and you can tell that he and the staff get along great! The office staff is always nice when I call them and they are very accommodating to my scheduling needs. He has just starting doing the lap band surgeries on his own but he has trained with Dr. Walton for several months and has done bypass for years. That concerned me at first but the surgery turned out without problems. He tells you EVERYTHING up front good and bad. He actually scared me some by telling me all the bad that could happen and what he expected of me. He will help you but you have to show him you are willing to help yourself or he will not operate on you and he told me that day one. If you can not commit to what he requires he will not do the surgery no matter if you have cash money or insurance. This is a life change and he makes sure you are ready to make it before you get your date scheduled and he will ask you again the day of surgery. He has you make a commitment to him for routing visits for follow up as well. He tells you he will be with you for the rest of your life and he means it. He will be your biggest fan but he still will not let you eat even if you beg him (during the clear liquid stage). The aftercare is very very structured you know all your appointments ahead of time and you see everyone very often (which I need). And they have wonderful support group meetings as well. The best part is you only have to go to one place. EVERYONE is in the same building as the hospital. I would rate him a 10 out of 10 he really is a great guy and wonderful surgeon. This is not a surgery to take lightly. There are several doctors out there that just care about money and not about you. Dr. Broussard and Dr. Walton are not those doctors. They care about you and you know it is not an act. I had alot of bruising and ALOT of gas pain afterwards and I called him 3 times in the first few days at all hours and he was always cheerful and helpful. Thank you Dr. Broussard for helping me to change my life for the better!

I met Dr. Walton in October of 2005. He was the surgeon for my sister and two of her daughters RNY surgeries. I liked Dr. Walton right away. He has a very soft-spoken and caring manner. He seems very excited for each of his patients. His office staff is great. Several of them have had some type of gastric bypass surgery and are very helpful. I can't think of anything I don't like about Dr. Walton. Aftercare is very important to Dr. Walton. He is very interested in my progress. He has a nutritionist and exercise physiologist on staff and encourages patients to continue in their care along the journey. Dr. Walton was very upfront and straight-forward about the risks of surgery. I would give Dr. Walton a 10 on a scale of 1-10. I think Dr. Walton ranks great in both surgical competence and bedside manner.

Dr. Walton is a very caring man. He makes his patients feel comfortable and confident in his abilities. He is quite serious about what you will have to do as your part of this new life. He does encourage the support group & exercises. He says the ones who are most successful are the ones who stay invovled. He lets you know that this surgery is a tool to be used in your new life... but it is up to you to use it to your benefit. He is very realistic in what he tells you.
He has a great staff at the office & hospital. They all were very encouraging with this... "I am Proud of you"... "You can do this".... attitude...I would & have recommended Dr. Walton to anyone who is interested in having bariatric surgery. He is the best! The only drawback si sometimes appointments have to be cancelled or run very late due to his demand as a surgeon or emergencies that come up time to time.

Dr. Toby Broussard.....................
Well when he walked in the room............he was young........but so am I?!?! He is also married and very attractive....but anyway, he made sure all my questions were answered and that I felt comfortable with the whole procedure!

He made me feel very secure and very comfortable...that I didn't even ask him how many procedures like this he has done.....but i later find out he has done multiples!


He made me go to two support groups above hand!

the very first time i met DR WALTON and his staff.i knew that i would be in good hands.every one of them are awsome.DR WALTON is always a very busy man.but his staff is always there to answer any qustions you have no matter how stupid you think it may sound.TRACY is awsome she talk to me from her own experince.DR WALTON performed her surgery.ROBYN IS AWSOME IF tracy isn't available she is.

Dr. Walton is one of the most compassionate and caring individuals. He is a very busy doctor but always finds the time to come by for a quick check to see that you are doing well and that all of your needs are being met. I would not hesitate to have Gastric by-pass by him again or to recommend him to anyone interested in the surgery.

He is also a general surgeon and I would trust him with any member of my family and with my self as well.

Kudos don't seem to do this remarkable man justice.

Dr. Broussard and his staff were all very polite and informative about wls. They put me at ease, encouraged questions and answered all that were asked without hesitation. Dr. Broussard and his wife offer support group meetings once a month. I found the support meeting to be great! Really enjoyed speaking with others about their experiences and was made to feel comfortable and accepted by all.

Dr. Walton is the greatest! I am from Enid and know that he has a great reputation!
I had a problem though....he was out of network with my insurance. My husband and I looked at all of our options and made a decision. Instead of going out of town to get a in network provider we opted to stay here with a Doctor that we totally trusted!
His office staff is wonderful**especially ROBYN**! Dr. Walton's bedside manner is wonderful and he is the best in my book!

the first meeting whit DR WALTON gave me the feeling that i had the right man,, i had seen another doctor before him and felt that he was to business like. DR WALTON was very personal and talked to me like i was an friend and we just was passing time. Now he is very serious and profecional, and gave me excelant care before surgery and during my long hospital care, and his after care is still just as caring.
If you have read my profile you know I had some problems after my first surgery, this i believe in my heart was nothing caused by the great man. he did save my life with the second surgery. He has an excelant staff, that bends backwards to help.there are monthy meetings set up by his baritic Rn , she have been a god send to me.the poeple at these meetings speak nothing but the best about DR WALTON.. would i recomend him,, yes and with great pleasure.

Right from the start my wife and I felt a confidence in Dr. Broussard. He made sure we understood the procedure and all of the risks involved. The staff is very courteous and proactive. They set up various appointments as needed, usually while I was still in the office with them. They also followed up with me on the test results. They make each patient feel that they are an important person, not just another patient to bill. You get the feeling that your health is their primary concern. Dr. Broussard also emphasizes that there be regular follow-up visits as well as attendence to the support group meetings.
