Dr Snow is the kind of person who is very blount.At first I didn't know if I was sure I was ready but over the time I have become ready now.Dr Snow staff is the best people and the nices I have meet.There is not nothing I don't like about him.If they don't like a blount doctor they will not like him.DrSnow said after care is really an inportant thing to do.The after care so very inportant because this is when you will lose your weight from.DrSnow said all surgery have risk there owe risk.But to him the open surgery is better then theone Iam going to have.I would rate him on the sacle of 1 to 10 he would be a 10 over all....

I had heard good things about him from others and felt good about our first visit together. It was with a group of about 4 other people considering surgery. He gave us lots of information and plenty of time to ask questions. The office staff is nice. The only complaint I have is that everytime we have been it has been a long wait. I have gotten lots more information about aftercare from the support group. He did fully explain the risks of surgery.

Dr.Snow is very popular in our support group. I was very impressed when I first met him. He was very kind and answered all my questions.

I returned on Monday 11-09-02 for my surgery date. I really have a lot to do and very little time to do it, with the holidays and all.

His office staff is very professional and very nice.

Dr. Snow is a great and wonderful doctor with wonderful bedside manner. He explained the entire procedure to me in detail and he let me ask all of the questions and took the time to answer any thing I asked him in reference to this surgery.

My impression of him has only gotten better, he is very complimentary and very encouraging. His office staff is delightful to work with and are eager to help you with your paper work to get you scheduled.

I am sure they have an aftercare program but I have not been involved in it.

Dr. Snow told me all of the risks of surgery and all of the pros and cons.

I think a doctor should definitely be competent in his field ad Dr. Snow was one of the pioneers of this surgery in this area. As far as his bedside manner you couldn't ask for anyone kinder.

In my opinion, Dr. Snow seemed experienced in this type of surgery. He answered all questions and told me possbible complications. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downfall was that there is usually a long wati in the office.

Dr. Lane is wonderful. He came to check on me (and his other patients) each day, in the hospital, even when he wasn't on call and when he was scheduled off. He really listens to you and is never in a hurry. A five star rating for Dr. Lane.

9/27/02 I found Dr. Forrest Ringold to be very informative and very caring. He truely believes in the procedure. His office staff is extremely helpful. He strongly emphasized aftercare and assures you that he will pester you about your water intake. There is a support group that meets monthly.
Since he is new to this area, he was very easy to get in with. It was a 3 week wait for my initial appt. Then it took insurance 3 weeks to write my letter for my surgery. It took a week to get logged in at the insurance. But, it only took 14 days to be approved. I called the dr office on the day I found out I was approved and was scheduled in 2 days for my preop appt and then for surgery in 31 days.

Dr. Lane was very informative. He looks young but that shouldn't have anything to do with his surgical ability. He first talked about the pros and cons and things that could happen. Was very upfront about all the risks. He was not in a hurry or rushed me in anyway. It started by him talking about the procedure, pros and cons, all the risks. Then I asked him questions and he answered all of them. I got nervous and forgot a few things. He made me feel comfortable in asking anything. He is very open and cares about the patient. I feel comfortable with my decision to use Dr. Lane as my surgeon. His staff is nice and friendly. I agree with a response about Dr. Lane, he doesn't smile and does have a tired look.

He was friendly and spent time with you.
I like Dr snow and am glad to have him doing my surgery.
He has a great office staff..very nice and love to talk to you..
I felt lower then him it is hard to explain..He was great I just felt ingnorant I guess.
Everyone should know that he is a great Dr and you should be proud to have him as your Dr.
We never talked about aftercare.
Dr Snow did tell me about the risks of this surgery, and he will talk to you about your worries..Thats were I felt ignorant..I thought I was asking way to many questions so I stopped...He just was looking at me so I am not sure what he was thinking...
I think his rate over all is good, I think everyone could stand a little improving but he was very nice.
I think there both important..but if I had to choose I would pick surgical competence..big time..wouldnt you...

I had heard all positive things about him, and thus far my two appointments with him have been positive. He spent a good deal of time with me, explaining the procedure. I'm anticipating that this positive experience will continue. I plan to follow his instruction, and do what I'm supposed to.
