Northside Hospital of Atlanta Bariatric Center

He was very personable with me. Maybe a little shy in the beginning but we had a common interest and when he started to talk about that he was open, warm and caring. Very knowledgeable and willing to answer all the "dumb" questions that I had. I still have that impression of him. Although I have heard of others who have had trouble with the office staff they were nothing but efficent and professional to me. my only negative comment would be that if his wls business is going to grow much more he needs to hire additional office staff. The girl who answers the phone is extremely overworked and stressed which sometimes comes across as rude but after sitting in the waiting room on two different occasions it was very obivious that she is over worked!

I haven't met with Dr. Macik yet, but my impression of his office staff is EXCELLENT! Gerry was very informative, and the nurse, Mary Francis, was a jewel about telling what to expect post-op. My first consultation is scheduled for July 30th, and they say that if all goes well I could have a surgery date before the end of the year. I am so excited!!!! I will update again after I meet the doctor.

Well, I decided to changed doctors. Although I'm sure Dr. Macik is a wonderful surgeon, I felt that the $4,500.00 deposit was excessive for my budget. So, I switched to Dr. Christopher Hart. I met with Dr. Hart on yesterday, Aug. 4th, and he was very nice. Dr. Hart seemed shy, but very informative. I can't believe I'm on my way to insurance approval. Next on my list of things to do is the psychological evaluation.

My first impression of Dr. Daly was that he was competent and knowledgeable. My impression has not changed. The office staff was very accommodating. Future patients should know Dr. Daly is getting increasingly busy and the sooner you get in with him the better. He emphasized aftercare with instructions on vitamins, calcium, and foods to eat and avoid. Also he emphasized the importance of exercise and sticking to the plan. He was blunt about the risks of surgery but included the fact that the risks of staying obese far outweighed the risk of surgery, etc. I rate Dr. Daly very highly because he did a great job on my surgery. I'm 3 weeks out and have had no complications. My scars are tiny and recovery was very quick and relatively painless (after 5 days). I returned to work in 2 and a half weeks and have had no problems getting around. I would much rather have a doctor with a lot of surgical competence than a good bedside manner, not to say he has a bad bedside manner, but he won't hold your hand through the whole process and that was fine with me. He is a great surgeon and that's what counts.

Dr. Williams is excellent at performing the Lap Gastric Bybass procedure. This has been an extremly good experience for me and I believe this is mainly due to the expertise of my surgeon. He was very patient with me and I never felt that I was wasting his time by asking lots of questions. All of my questions were answered and then he asked if I had more questions. He throughly explained the procudure, what I could expect and any associated risks.

The office staff was great! No loop holes there. When my insurance was approved, the next person called me to discuss finances. Once that was done, I received my next call from the person who schedules the surgery. A few days later, I received my pre-op package in the mail. You are never just sitting around wondering what will happen next or if they forgot about you. They have the whole process down to a 'science'.

They also have a good support program with an open support group and a post op support group.

All through the process I knew that I'd chosen the best surgeon and staff available. I recommend Dr. Williams for anyone who is looking for a surgeon. You will not be dissappointed.

He is Wonderful!

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF DR DALY WAS WOW HE REALLY CARES ABOUT ME! NO MY IMPRESSION HASN'T CHANGED ONE BIT. HE AND HIS OFFICE STAFF HAVE GONE ABOVE THE CALL OF DUTY FOR ME WHEN I HAD A PROBLEM NOT RELATED TO MY SURGERY, THEY REMEMBERED MY OTHER DOCTOR WHO WAS HELPING ME AND ALWAYS REMEMBERED TO ASK WHAT HE WAS DOING TO HELP ME AND HOW I WAS DOING. THAT HAS MEANT THE WORLD TO ME THAT THEY CARED ENOUGH ABOUT ME TO REMEMBER THE LITTLE THINGS. EVERYONE IN THE OFFIC IS VERY HELPFUL AND THEY NEVER GET AGRIVATED AT ALL THE TIME I WOULD CALL. TAMMY HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL. I WENT INTO SURGERY NOT REALLY KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND DR DALY EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO ME AND MY HUSBAND. HE IS VERY CONFIDENT AND HAS A GREAT SUCCESS RATE. THERE REALLY AREN'T WORDS FOR HOW I FEEL ABOUT DR DALY....HE HAS A HEART FOR HELPING PEOPLE TO BECOME HEALTHY HAPPY PEOPLE! BECAUSE OF HIS COMPETENCE I AM WELL ON MY WAY TO BEING HEALTHY AND I AM VERY HAPPY ALREADY. THIS SURGERY WAS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY! I COULDN'T THANK DR DALY ENOUGH!

I loved him. He answered all my questions, took lots of time with me and was very helpful.

I have an appointment scheduled with Dr Hart for the first week in August. This will be my initial consultation.

Dr. Daly is a very personable man. He has picked the right field to be in. My first impression of him was right on target...this man knows what he's doing and is good at it! My opinion of him has never changed. His office staff is TOP NOTCH! I can't say there is anything about this experience that I didn't like. I think everyone should know that he makes you feel like you are his only patient and has all the time in the world for you to ask questions and get things right. He will never leave you hanging. His aftercare program is very structured. I am just getting into it as my surgery was on July 10th. It is very important to both him and you that you have all the support that you can possibly have in every step of your weight loss journey. He was very informatative in the risks of surgery and made sure that I understood everything. I love this man. He has chosen the right field to be in...he genuinely cares and you are not just "another patient" with him. He knows you by name and cares about your success with the surgery. He is a very experienced surgery and has a wonderful bedside manner. I can't complain about anything. This has just been wonderful and I would recommend him to anyone I see whom is interested in the surgery.

He only preforms the RNY and does it lap unless any complications arise. I looked into Duodenal Switch and was interested in that, but it was not offered there. I am very happy with my decision to go through with the RNY procedure and do not regret it in the least.

My first impression was good. He is to the point, doesn't waste your time or his. I like that. He asked me several times if I had other questions. So far I am very happy with my choice.
