Penn Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Program Bariatric Center

I thought he was very interesting and knowledgeable.
His office staff is also very knowledgeable. His nurse was especially friendly.
I have only heard good things about Dr. Williams patients. I think he probably has an extremely high success rate.
Surgical competence is more important to me right now than bedside manner.

I am a teacher and DR. Williams and his staff were very accomodating in giving me a July date so I could heal by the time school started. It is a very comprehensive program with lots of before and after support.

Dr. Kirkland was wonderful from the first moment we met. He was very clear in what to expect and didn't leave anything out. His staff was as helpful and still is as they possibly could be. I really liked his honesty and the way he explained everything. He spent over an hour with me just giving information about his practice and the surgery itsself. I would have never had this done by anyone else. He is very adiment about aftercare, but its really up to you to follow through. I believe that both surgical and bedside are as important. The hospitals MUST educate the nurses more so they can help the patients a little. They were a little lacks i think. overall, my experience was great. no complications at all.

He was very down to earth and you can tell that he takes his job very serious My impression hasn't changed Most of his staff is very nice. There was nothing i didnt like about him

Rateing~10.What a nice guy.I knew basicly everything I need to,So he did a quick rundown I asked my question's and then it was over.The office staff are all very nice.I really liked Carrie(N.P)

Dr. Williams seemed very knowledgeable. His confidence in the procedure and his ability really showed in his demeanor. My Aunt came with me and she was unsure about all aspects of this surgery but Dr. Williams really put her at ease, at least with the procedure itself. The office staff were all really nice.

My only advice for future patients would be to be prepared to wait. My apointment lasted from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm with a few "lag" times between visits from the Nutrionist, the P.A. and Dr. Williams. My Aunt and I played "hangman" while we waited:-)

Dr. Williams was very upfront about the surgery risks, but also emphasized the steps that he takes to minimize the chances of the risks.

Overall, everything went exactly as I had expected from everything I had read and heard about Dr. Williams and his office staff.

Dr. Wernsing is a very nice doctor. He is a great surgeon I would highly recommend him to anyone. He has a great bedside manner and is very pleasent and easy to talk to. He did a wonderful job on my RNY.

DR WERESING WAS OUTSTANDING . PA HOSPITAL
IA ANOTHER STORY, VERY POOR. HIS OFFICE STAFF OK

When I first met Dr Kirkland I was very impressed with him. He was very up front with any questions that I had asked and was very satisfied with all the info that he gave me. The consult went fine and I was convinced that he was the only surgeon for me. The office staff are the greatest and very attentive. I liked Dr K's openess and being very frank with any question I asked. This is a big decision in one's life and future and only the best will do. When asked about if anything can go wrong, like death he was very open and assuring to me. He really stressed about this being a life time commitment and a very important lifestyle change,all of which I was ready to do. I would truly and highly recommend Dr Kirkland for anyone thinking about this procedure. I am glad that I did my "research and homework" and found Dr Kirkland he is a true 10 on the scale of 1 to 10. Excellent bedside marres and was always available to answer and questions with fast response time. I had a severely pulled muscle about six weeks out on a thursday and when I called his office for help I was contacted within a few hours to help with any fears that I had and was very satisfied with the help. The only problem which I had was the long wait time from the consult and surgery date but you have to understand that he is a very booked up doctor with other clients. A wait that was well worth the time.

I Finaly got to meet with Dr Noel Williams and his staff for my first time after a 8 month wait.

I was very happy with the office as a whole.
The nurse was great wish they could all be like that.
Dr Williams was very nice informative and great bed side manner.
I picked Dr. Williams from a site that i was on actualy got to see a local show on the surgery that he performed on PENN Vitals so that was cool.
Ialso talked to a man at my family dr that had the surgery although this was not his Dr. but he highly recommended him and this was also good to know.

The entire team is great i like the fact that he has a diet and phyc team that you have to see and i meet with them 6/16/04 so they have it covered from point a to z

I would rate him a 10 from what i know now.
I think both are great from what i know
