Saint Luke's Center for Surgical Weight Loss Bariatric Center

Dr. Price is very competent and has a great bedside manner. His office is very knowledgeable and helpful. He has a great aftercare program and strongly suggests keeping your follow-ups. He staffs a dietician, an exercise physiologist, and a psycologist. They also have monthly meetings with special guest speakers. One of his staff has had WLS and she is very happy to answer any questions you may have. I was very pleased with my choice of Dr. and with my surgery overall. I have had no complications. Thank you Dr. Price and staff for a job WELL DONE!!!

My surgeon is Dr John Price in Monroe, LA. I first spoke with his bariatric coordinator, Sandy Riles, and she took care of everything. Debbie helped alot with the insurance part. I attended a support group meeting which was awesome. I got to meet Dr Price and talk with him personally. I got to see others who were on the other side. I met the nutritionist and exercise physiologist. They all stressed on after care. I think this is a very comprehensive program that I feel good recommending to others. Good Luck!

Dr. Price, seems to be a very pleasant man. He is very informative and truly wants to make sure that you understand every aspect of this surgery. I haven't met him but one time so far...so I'll have to let you know if my impression changes over time.
The staff, oh my goodness!!! From the beginning they all just seem like part of my family. They all just make you feel so at home and at ease. Any future patients should know that, as far as I'm concerned..Dr. Price is the man!!! They seem to really push the aftercare or followup appointments. Haven't had one yet but I'll let you know later how that goes. I can't really answer all the other questions at this time but will be happy to attempt answers to them at a later time. Mean time...please keep me and the Drs. in your prayers.

I was very comfortable with Dr Price from the second I met him. He was so easy to talk to ...answered any questions I had and explained everything so smoothly. His office staff was so inviting and helpful and soooooo supportive even before I had the surgery. They explained all the risks and benefits of the surgery....but we all know that most of the time the benefits greatly outweigh the risks!!!! I would definitely recommend the surgery and Dr Price to anyone interested.
Thank you so much for the wonderful care I am continuing to receive.

Dr. Price and his staff were all absolutely wonderful!! He made sure I knew all of the risks involved and was very upfront with me about any patients he had that had any complications. He has always been ready and available to answer any questions I have had at any time of day. He has even called me at home to check on me!

Dr. Price was very understanding of my personal situation.He has always taken lots of time with me to answer any questions i might have.His office staff is great Sandy whom is a bypass patient herself is extremely helpfull in letting you know what you can expect.There was nothing that i found about him that i did not like. He is very professional.Aftercare is very important to them.They do have a very good aftercare program.He told me about all of the risks of the surgery on my pre-op visit and ask that i make sure i was comfortable with the risks of the procedure before i had it done.On a scale of 1 to 10 i would rate him a 10.Both surgical competence and bedside manner are great.

My first impression of Dr. Price and his staff was a pleasant one I must say. I first met with Mrs. Sandy and she was a wonderful. She explained everything in great detail. I was so glad that I was talking to someone that had been in the same shoes I am in. She was talking from experience. Everyone is so nice and friendly. If your thinking about having the surgery, I would definitly recommend Dr. Price. I really love the after care program. They don't just throw you away after the surgery, they help you reach your goal. They have a great program.

From the beginning, Dr. Price has been very straight-forward and informative. He also seems to genuinely care for his patients safety and comfort during the procedure.

What a great man! he was courteous and helpful during my hospital stay. He made me feel comfortable in his presence. Dr Price's Staff is top notch! very helpful and willing to go the extra mile to see that everything is done to your satisfaction.

I just want to say first of all thanks to Dr. Price for being so caring and changing my life.
When I first met Dr. Price I thought he was a bit shy to be a doctor. He never made eye contact with me when he talked to me and I was a little concerned. As time passed and I got to know him and his staff my views changed... I realized how kind hearted he was and the amount of compassion he has for people is astounding. His staff has been a huge help. Mrs. Sandy of course has been God sent, she has been so loving yet so stern. Mrs. Lyn has really helped me in the financial aspect. And Kimbie and Carla of course are such a delight and so friendly to the patients.. you don't see that in doctor's offices much anymore. I would recommend Dr. Price for anyone wanting a compassionate and truely caring doctor to perform their surgery. Mrs. Sandy puts alot of emphasis on after care and stresses about those vitamins (ha..ha..gotta love her).
They really go into detail with you about surgery and answer any questions you may have concerning surgery. His support groups are very beneficial to this surgery and after care as well. I believe that surgical competence and bedside manner take a big part in a good physician and I believe that Dr. Price has both of these pretty well wrapped up. He openly tells you his comfort zones concerning surgery and I appreciate this.He also has the best bedside manners you have ever seen in a doctor. He is truely unique and I hope he knows how much of a blessing he is to me and others out there I am sure. I could never express my grattitude to Dr. Price and his staff for being so caring and helping me through this surgery. Thanks ever so much and God Bless each and every one of you!!
