King's Daughters Medical Center Surgical Weight Loss Program Bariatric Center

Dr. Thompkins kmc Ashland KY

I first met Dr. Tomkins in Sept., 2007. I immediately felt at ease with him. He is a very mild mannered, caring doctor. His staff is wonderful as well. They are a Center of Excellence. Their program at Kings Daughters Surgical Weight Loss is very structured and allows patients the opportunity to speak with staff whenever necessary. rnrnHis staff facilates a monthly support group. This meeting is ok, but I would prefer it to be a little more interactive. I would like it better if the meetings were held twice monthly. They have very modern facilities (as of 08/2008), but the support group meets in the waiting room and it is way too small and not laid out well for a meeting. rnrnOverall, I would definately recommend Dr. Tomkins and the KDMC Surgical Weight Loss Program.

is just the best!!!

THE FIRST IMPRESSION I GOT OF DR WHEELER WAS THAT HE WAS A VERY BUSY GUY. AT THE SEMINAR I ASKED A FEW QUESTIONS AND HE DID ANSWER THEM FOR ME.rnTHEN WHEN I MET HIM IN THE OFFICE FOR THE FIRST TIME, I REALLY LIKED HIM. HE HAS A MATTER-OF-FACT ATTITUDE, HE DIDN'T TRY TO SWAY ME ON MY DECISIONS OR ANYTHING LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER DOCS I HAD FOUND. HE ALSO HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR THAT I FOUND HILARIOUS BECAUSE HE CRACKS JOKES BUT DOESN'T LAUGH SO IT'S KIND OF AMUSING TO SEE IF HE'S TRYING TO BE FUNNY OR WHAT! ANYWAY HE CRACKS ME UP! THE OFFICE STAFF WERE ALWAYS VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. THE ONE THING THAT I HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IS THAT I WAS REALLY NOT INFORMED OF THE TIME THAT IT WOULD TAKE FOR MY SURGERY TO BE SCEDULED. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE I ASKED HAD A DIFFERENT ANSWER AND DR WHEELER'S ANSWER WAS NEVER A TIME LINE. OF COURSE A COUPLE OF MONTHS FELT LIKE YEARS!rnTHEIR PRE-OP TEACHING WAS SO INFORMATIVE AND LAID IT ALL ON THE LINE THAT I ALMOST THOUGHT WHOA DO I WANNA DO THIS FOR SURE? BUT OF COURSE THE ANSWER WAS YES, AND I'M EASILY SCARED ANYWAY :)rnI HAVE TO SAY THAT ALL MY TESTING AND PRE-OP VISITS WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND DR WHEELER HAS PROVEN TO BE VERY COMPETENT. HE PERFORMED THE ENDOSCOPY AS WELL AS AN IVC FILTER AND I WAS DELIGHTED TO HAVE ZERO COMPLAINTS EITHER TIME. HE IS KINDA LAID BACK AND HE WAS SUCH A SWEETIE TO GIVE ME SAMPLES OF MEDICATION BECAUSE MY LACK OF INSURANCE AT THE MOMENT.

Finally got to meet with Dr. Tompkins. He was very pleasant and answered all the questions I had. He reassured me about things I had been very concerned about. The office staff were all very nice and they were on time with my appointment. I only waited about 10 minutes in the waiting room. Great experience so far.

I first met him at one of the information sessions. I loved him. I loved him so much I switched doctors. He was very personable. The fact that he stayed and answered questions for up to an hour after it ended is what sold me. Meeting him in the office was a great experience as well. He's very laid back and it was nice to feel like I was talking to someone who just listen instead of telling me how it all should be. He listened and that's what sold me!

I have a very positive impression of Dr Wheeler. The office staff is very helpful and plesant. I would rate both A+

Dr. Tompkins is all about business. He is straightforward, is excellent in answering questions, and has an aura about him that projects positivity and comfort toward his patients.rnrnHis office is extremely effective in helping patients navigated through the journey to surgery. They are easily accessible and are excellent at returning calls.rnrnDr. Tompkins is no doubt competent in his work. His bedside manner is very good. He seems to be a busy man and wish I had more time with him instead of nurses or aids......but I really didn't need the time with him. He is very likeable and is easy to talk to.rnrnI never once felt scared or uncomfortable.

My first impression of Dr.Tompkins was a good one. His staff has been very helpful. So I just wait to see how surgery goes.

When I first met Dr. Wheeler, I wasn't sure of him. I stayed unsure of him until I went for my pre-op visit. It was at that visit that I decided I really liked him. He is actually a funny man. He is very matter of fact. His office staff are very nice. They are willing to help. His office is very thorough in educatin their patients. They will answer any questions you may have. They want you to be successful.
