Dr. Henson was wonderful! I had Roux en y by him on 12/27/2019. He checked on me many times throughout the first night, from his home.... following my surgery. He is amazing and very caring. He is genuine and has a sweet humble spirit. I love that he goes to Africa and performs surgery to many who can not afford surgery. I would definitely recommend Dr. Henson to anyone.

I had my rny with Frye a week ago today. Frye Surgical Weight Loss, Wake Surgical, and Frye Medical Center are all utterly wonderful. Especially after talking with friends who've had surgery in other hospitals and with other practices, I have to say that everyone involved with Frye/Wake is amazingly kind and totally professional. I hope never to have surgery again, but I would absolutely use them again!

Dr. Hata is one of the best surgeons for laparoscopic, bariatric surgery. On 5/20/2014 I had my surgery (RNY- Bypass) and it turned out very successful! However, my story and history with Dr. Hata doesn't start there.
I had really been considering bariatric surgery for 2 years, and decided to go to a seminar done by the Frye Regional Medical Center team. This seminar gave out some great information. During this seminar (Held in Blowing Rock, NC. That's almost 2 hours from Hickory, NC where Frye Regional is located.). Dr. Hata personally drove up and answered questions regarding the surgical options to a seminar class of almost 40 people.
After the seminar, I found out that I had to complete a 6 month supervised diet. Dr. Hata assured me this supervised diet isn't a big deal. After working with my primary care doctor on the diet, I attended several more informational classes at Frye Regional and all of those classes Dr. Hata was there, always smiling and with a great attitude. Dr. Hata met with me and my support person for my one-on-one on 5/1/14, and met with us for my pre-op on 5/8/14, where he took as long as needed to answer any questions we had. Not only did he answer them, but he took us to his office to discuss any risk factors as well.
Surgery day, Dr. Hata saw me for the last time before surgery and made me feel comfortable, as I was nervous about this being my 1st surgery. The entire Frye team was competent, funny, kind, understanding, and passionate about what they do. Dr. Hata has a strict aftercare program, which places you on the road to success starting day 1.
I would suggest Dr. Hata and Frye Regional Medical Center as the place to go for your laparoscopic bariatric needs.

Dr. Hata is the greatest! I am 9 months out post-surgery and have lost 88 lbs!, you can barely see my tiny little scars. I is very meticulous with his patients and his procedure. I could not have asked for a better surgeon!

Dr. Hata and his team were amazing. I felt comfortable going in and would certainly recommend him to anyone wanting WLS at Frye Regional Medical Clinic and Hickory Surgical Clinic. I originally met him 2 years prior to having surgery and he remembered me. I was impressed by his easy going manner and ability to answer any questions (I did not have many.)

I only saw him once after surgery as he wanted to make sure all had gone well. The staff at the hospital were super competent and able to address any needs or concerns I had. The only issue I had was my first post-op meal. I did not get the 1oz cups they wanted me to use until after I had eaten. It was a mistake in co-ordination as the assistant who had brought the meal did not know she was supposed to give them to me.

The staff and surgeons at Frye Regional know their stuff. The class is meticulous and if you do not show competency and the necessary knowledge to do as they ask they do not recommend you for the surgery. That is completely okay with me because at the end of the day this surgery is major surgery. Regardless of it's low complication rate, if you follow the program you will succeed!

Dr Hata is very knowledgable. He is young and a graduate of Duke.

He uses a technique that does not cut muscle or need a drain. He is wonderful.

He is very busy but he has people who will answer any questions you have.
