Your New Self - DMC Weight Loss Solutions Bariatric Center

Dr. Wood is very personable and very knowlegeable. He also has a great since of humor and compassion. I found his staff to be very professional and knowlegeable. I had no issues getting my questions answered. Future patients should know that Dr. Wood is very serious about his profession. This is his exclusive profession and he stays on top of current information related to WLS and procedures. The aftercare program is very structured. There is a dietician and RN on staff. There are regular support group meetings. I give Doctor Wood an A+. My surgery and recovery has been free of complications and pain.

My first impression of Dr. Wood was that he was a sensitive, caring person. He seemed more like a teacher than a doctor.His office staff is always very friendly. He emphasizes that this is a Tool and with any tool if you don't put it to work the job will not get done. A first class doctor.

Dr. Michael Wood performed my surgery. He is an excellent surgeon. His comment during the interview was "I love to perform surgery" and he was correct. His follow-up was really bad and the staff, being new to all of this, was unsure of follow-up. It took a few years and quite a few changes of personnel, but they are now addressing issues that should have been addressed early on for post-ops.

My stay at Harper Hospital was a very positive one. The staff was very professional for the most part and the care was excellent.

Dr. Wood's "bed-side" manner and concern are very apparent. He will take the time to answer all questions and even take the time to "scold" if something is not going correctly on the patient's part. I would recommend him highly.

I want to say that Dr. Wood is one of the Sr. Dr.'s at the Cori center in Warren. I listed him until my surgeon and DR. can be added. I met Dr. Wood in the Hospital and he was very professional and kind, I thank him for his personal visit...it meant alot. But i would like to say that i am truly thankful to Dr. Jamokay Taylor M.D. for the wonderful job he did with me on Aug 23, 2005. he is 10 years my younger but a very professional and Comptent, educated, gentle,he even has a sense of humor...lol! I can see a very long and sucessful future for him in bariactric surgery. he didnt even use staples in open bariatric surgery closure, i got disolving sutures with the tape, very nice and clean.

Thank you DR. Taylor!

Dr. Taylor gets a 5-STAR rating from me. He was personal with me from the start from pre-op thru post-op he does stress the rules after sugery and after care support. and provides all the information one needs to attain it. I will update this as time goes by...bing i am just 10days post-op at this writting.

I have met with several doctors these past weeks trying to find some where I feel safe and where I'd be in the best hands. I have seen pretty much all the surgeons in the south eastern Michigan area. I'm going to stay with the Cori center and I'm going to use Dr Wood. I felt the most comfortible with him.

Dr. Wood is a very kind and helpful man. My scar looks beautiful so far. Very thin. If anyone is having the surgery, please consult with him. He is, by far, the greatest bariatric surgeon.

My first impressions of Dr.Woods was good he had a siminar with everyone who had and appointment that day and described throughly what each different type of surgery was and how the worked, then each patient met with him privatley and he was very kind in asking pretty personal questions like what you want your goal weight to be and those kind oif thigs.

My first impression was wow he's young.lol. I was very happy with his work and his bedside manner. His old staff was not very efficient but his newer staff was definately more reachable and competant.

I guess future patients could know that he comes off as rather serious at times but he definitely has a funny bone ine him. He is very consciencious about he we take care of ourselves afterwards.

Overall I would say that he was really a good surgeon and had both a good bedside manner as well as a good surgical job done.

Oh yeah and cant forget Sue she was great and helped us out a lot in the hospital.

He is so nice and very through and lets you about it to the fullest and will ask you to lose if he feels you need to
no it hasnt

At first, I was nervous about the surgery but once I met Dr. Wood for my inital consultation I felt very confident about having it done. He made me feel alot better. H\

Dr. Wood is a very nice guy who seems to really care about helping the patient when we talkked he would go out of his way to explain any questions that I had and he has been a surgeon for over 25 years, he also helped to develope the micro pouch bypass surgery and that is what Iam having! I would recomend him and his GREAT Staff to any one. My surgery is not until July 11th so I will update more about his after care then
