General & Vascular Surgical Associates Bariatric Center

Dr. Alford is an amazing doctor and he has a wonderful staff that works with him. Catherine in his office is always prompt to answer my questions and concerns. He is very friendly and I guess that is what I like best about him. He has a wonderful bedside matter and truly seems to care about you and your well being!

I really like Dr. Parrent. I just wish he was closer.

I had a previous surgery (non WLS) with Dr Alford and he was great. He suggested that I do this surgery because I cam through the other one so well.

My first impression of Dr. Parrent was - \"Geez I am getting old\" - He looks like he could be our son! But he was very informative and his credentials were excellent. He was very easy going and very thorough and patient with my Husband and I. He seemed to know what he was doing and had done many WL surgeries during his residency and at his current practice so I felt at ease right a way. He explained all the risks and the rewards as well as the various weight loss options. He is part of a team of baractric Drs. belonging to the St. Joseph Weight Loss Surgical Center in Bryan, TX. The Center has a very thorough program of before and after care and I highly recommend it, as well as Dr. Parrent.rnrnAfter my surgery he came to see me and was still very confident and easy going. He assured me everything went well and put me again at ease. rnrnAt my post op 2 wk visit he seemed rushed, but was still very informative and answered my questions. His staff is very nice and accommodating, especially the surgical coordinator, Catheryn B.rnrnOverall I would rate him a 10, he is very competent and has a great bedside manner.

Young, excellant laprascopic skills, willing, flexible, good judgment. Highly recommend
