Northside Hospital of Atlanta Bariatric Center

Dr. Williams was great. He was very attentive to me and had a great bed side manner. HIs staff as been outstanding.

I was familiar with Dr.M.Williams before I ever made it to his office. First visit was with a family member. I was impressed how he presented himself and answered all questions to my family member's satisfaction. Office staff was very friendly and informative and if they didn't know the answer,they directed you in the right direction. he gives the impression he enjoys his work is good at his work and emphasizes follow up care is very important,not just a maybe. He addressed all of the risks of surgery and goes into more detail if requested. I need to mention at this time I am in the medical profession and it was nice hearing a doctor answer questions without being annoyed. Overall 10 out of 10. His stats speak for them self and he took time with my family member who was totally unfamiliar with medical terms and language. Looking forward to having him as my doctor. Only problem he is not in my insurance network. I'm hoping to be able to work something out. Felt comfortable with him and think I could address any problem with him or his nurse.rnMade a point of this is only tool and the work is up to the individual having the surgery and Yes weight can be regained if you don't follow directions.

Dr. Richard spoke at the Obesity Solutions seminar I attended and he struck me as extremely personable and easy to talk to. I met with him and he examined me then just sat down and patiently answered my questions one by one. He is very knowledgeable and a great bedside manner. The person I have dealt with most is wonderful. Her name is Tracey Whitmire and she is my insurance coordinator. She has completely taken me under her wings and helped get my insurance approval. What a doll! I also absolutely love Tracy the nurse. She is phenomenal and can speak of the whole thing first hand since she had the procedure done. Aftercare is a very important part of this program. I really feel like I'm in good hands - an awesome surgeon with a caring personality and an office staff who is on top of things.

Dr. Johnson was wonderful. I will admit that I had a few concerns about the fact that he looks like he is about 18 but I couldn't have asked for a better doctor! He has a wonderful personality and seems to really care about you! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Hart is an excellent surgeon who takes a lot of pride in keeping his statistics clean. He seems to be a man of very few words, but always takes the time to answer any questions you may have. I have not felt rushed at any appointment so far. His staff has always been very accommodating & friendly. The aftercare program is thorough, except for a physical trainer or on-staff counselor. However, I would rate him a 9 out of 10. I would give a 10 if he were more personable. :>) I would highly recommend Dr. Hart to any of my friends or family considering any WLS.

My 1st impression of Dr. Gorjala was at a seminar about the lap band, he was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly , my on going impression is the same. Dr. Gorjala.rnThe staff is very friendly. rnNo matter how many times I call Kathy and Genna are very helpful & friendly.rnrn4-30-08rnI had my surgery today. Dr. Gorjola is an awsome Dr. and great bed side manner.rnMy nurses that work @ the hospital and Anesthesiologist were AWSOME.rnrn

Dr. Williams is very professional, informative and gentle. His office staff is efficient and helpful. From the first pre-op evaluation and throughout the surgery, I only needed to make a phone call and have any problem or question with my health resolved. The aftercare program was explained and I especially liked the bag of \"goodies\" that included a journal, lunch bag,vitamins,and calcium(tums). A 3 ring binder was also given me that included everything I needed to know after surgery. That journal became my bible to get through the process. I am now 8 weeks post-op and doing well with a loss of 36 pounds. On a scale of 1-10, (in all areas) I rate Dr. Williams, his staff and Emory's Johns Creek Hospital at a 20.

Dr. Williams is a wonderful and caring doctor. He truly cares about what's best for the patient. I felt comfortable talking to him at my initial consultation. He is great!!!

I was very comfortable with Dr. Williams from the moment that I met him. He has a warm demeanor and is very professional. I was impressed with his expertise as well as the level of care I received before and after my surgery. Dr. Williams and his staff took measures to ensure that I was aware of every detail to be performed before, during and after my surgery. Dr. Williams has a clear and structured program. He is very careful to be sure that you understand all of the risks involved with the surgery. His program includes a structured pre-op and post-op program as well as regular follow-up appointments. The office staff at Bariatrics MD is very friendly and professional. They give each patient their individual and undivided attention. Overall, I would rate Dr. Williams as 100%+. I am very pleased with the care that I received from both Dr. Williams and his staff.

I just love Dr. Williams and he staff. His staff are just wonderful and helpful. I would referral anyone to him.
