Northside Hospital of Atlanta Bariatric Center

Sent paperwork and Fee in, waiting for approval !

DR JOHNSON AND HIS STAFF ARE WONDERFUL. EVERY VISIT AND EVERY TIME I CALLED THEY WERE ALWAYS HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY THEY ARE GREAT.

My first impression of Dr. Johnson was that he is compassionate and very professional and pleasant. His office staff is always kind and helpful.rnrnDr. Johnson and the entire staff at Atlanta Bariatrics strongly stress aftercare. The aftercare program is structured and regular.rnThe practice has a monthly educational seminar where all advantages and risks of WLS are discussed.rnrnDr. Johnson took excellent care of me and I give him my highest recommendation.

Dr. Johnson is really nice, he is young and he looks even younger. He is very smart and stays current on all the latest changes with weight loss surgery.

Very smart and honest.rnHas not changedrnOffice staff is top notch, Tammy is great.rnDid not spend anytime with me before surgery (at hospital) and only dropped by to discharge me for a quick \"do this, don't do that\" and bye.rnCharges a fee for his aftercare program.rnVery honest about what to expect and what can happen.rnI think he is a very strong competent surgeon and highly recommend him.rnI think surgical competence is more important, I want a doctor who can deal with any thing that can happen and I believe that Dr. Daly is that surgern.

I thought he was very nice and informative. His bedside manners are very good. He listens to what you have to say and how you feel about the surgery. He explains the pros and the cons. Also what he expects of you. I feel that he takes what he does very serious. He does not only show you a video he discuss it with you when he examine you. He is part of the support group and speaks at them explaining what to epect and how he would like to see you progress.

1/20/09-Surgery went well and I just love my surgeon, I had to go back in New Years Eve and my surgeon came right in and fix the problem in about 20mins. He told me that I would be alright prior to the surgery and I am. He is so good at what he does. I think God for him and for God guiding his hands through all of my care.

I am pre-surgery and have had only the initial appointment with Dr. Daly. He is a general surgeon and is highly recommended for the bariatric procedures. For my initial appointment I had a long wait (over an hour), for which there was no explanation or apology. Although he appeared to not be one for small talk, he provided a detailed description of the procedure and his program; covering the good, the bad, and the ugly. He descirbed the risks and benefits, and defined what I would be required to do. What impressed me was the aftercare aspect and how he is accessible to the patients. rnrnHis staff are exemplary and have already provided top-notch assistance, guiding me patiently and promptly through all my clearance exams. rnrnI am in the insurance review process and will have to wait until post-surgery to update the surgery experience.rnrnUpdate (1/4/08): Tammy from Dr. Daly's office called me the same day that she received the insurance approval letter. She coordinated the surgery date (2/6) & final details in less than a week.

Dr. Williams was excellent, friendly, informative, and is supposed to be superb with the instruments which I guess is the most important part! I had met Dr. Williams in 2003 when I had my VGB, but he was not my surgeon at the time.rnrnI had a lap revision from a VBG to RNY. I think I am in less pain 4 days post op on my revision than I was 4 days post-op with my VBG. The Emory at Johns Creek facility is almost brand new and very nice.rnrnDr. Williams also successfully obtained my insurance approval in about 10 days (insurance approval request by another surgeon earlier in the year was denied).rnrnI felt like I was in great hands the whole way and have enjoyed working with both Dr. Williams and his office staff. The office process was very organized, informative, and well thought out.

Dr. Williams is excellent! He will spend quality time explaining EVERYTHING to you. This was such a big decision and he made me feel very comfortable with everything! Janet and the rest of his staff are amazing! Dr. Williams and everyone are all so encouraging! I could not have picked a better doctor!

Dr. Williams and his staff are excellent. I just can't say enough about how kind and personable him and his whole staff are. You are definately not just another surgery - you are treated as if you are the only patient they have. I was just amazed at how responsive they are. rnrnI have been through this process before (but was not able to complete surgery due to another medical issue). The surgeon in that case was a good however, the staff at Emory moved you through like cattle, the process took forever and they took forever to respond to any inquiries.rnrnI know that everyone's experiences are different but I'm just amazed at how much Dr. Williams and his whole staff really care about me. It makes me feel that I've made the right decisions...it's a big decision and you don't want to trust it to just anyone.
