Southwest Bariatric Surgeons PLLC Bariatric Center

Dr. Marquez is very nice. Her staff is okay, but needs improvement. I would tell future patients to use Dr. Marquez because she does care about your needs and your family's needs. She places a great emphasis on aftercare. I had several questions in the 2nd week after surgery and her staff addressed them accordingly. I would give Dr. Marquez a 9. Her surgical competence and bedside manner are both equal: wonderful.

I will be sure to post AFTER my surgery ;-)

Dr Marquez was awsome...nothing negative to say at all:)

Dr. Faulkenberry and his staff were excellent and this experience was an A+. The surgery went smoothly although there was a minor infection but it was quickly resolved. Dr. Faulkenberry's bedside manner was professional and efficient. He was straightforward and was very direct with what I needed to know. He had a nutritionist on staff which was of great benefit for quick questions that always seemed to come up at the oddest times and helped keep me on course through my weight loss. One thing would concern me is that Dr. Faulkenberry did seem to be overbooked and very in demand as many appointments had to be rescheduled or bumped back slightly.

So far so good. I will post more after my surgery.

The more I see her the more I really like her.

My surgeon, Nancy Marquez, was amazing! She didn't cathedarize me or put in tubes. She made a deal with me. If I walked ASAP then she wouldn't do it.

It has been a year out and I have not had any issues with the surgery. I contribute that to my surgeon. I would reccomend her and I will use her if there is a need in the future.

Dr. Tim Faulkenberry is a most professional, knowledgable physician. He showed great bedside manner, asked appropriate questions, gave detailed explanations to my questions, and never rushed me through my appointment. His office staff has always been helpful, most friendly and always show a smile and willingness to help.

I checked his criteria and references, his mortality rate and etc. He is highly recommended and everyone that learns that he is my physician, is very complimentary of him and states that I have one of the best surgeons.

I received both written and verbal information about pre-op expectations, post-off expectations, my obligations, risks of surgery, pre-op.post-op eatting requirements, information about supplements and a few other items which will be helpful to me on my journey.

And I can't say enough nice things about Cassie, the billing specialists. She is calm, collected, professional, no situation too horrendous, very informative, knowledgeable, very courteous, well-informed, accurate in her paperwork, etc.. I could not have found a better billing person.

I would highly recommend Dr. Faulkenberry, and any of his partners.

Dr. Marquez conducted the seminar and I was impressed by her straight forward way. She was through in our appointments and asked many times if I had any questions. I think she was very good.
There seems to be very little about aftercare behavioral modification other than a once a month support group. This should be addressed and maybe even part of their service to encourage us to learn more about the tool and how we can learn new ways to live healthily.

The first time I met Dr. Marquez, I was instantly put at ease. She is very down to earth and is honest about every step of the process. She is delightful to work with and such a pleasure to be her patient. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone getting WLS!rnrnAmy

The doctor I work with spoke highly of Dr. Marquez as they both perform surgery at Seton Medical Center, Austin, Tx. I was impressed with Dr. Marquez's professionalism and that she did not try to \"sugar coat\" the surgery, recovery or the long term lifestyle changes I would be making. I have found her staff helpful and overall, positive. Jerry, the nutritionist is great and is a wealth of information. So far, my experience with Southwest Bariatrics has been good.

Dr. Marquez took a lot of time with me during my pre-op visit to make sure that I understood everything before scheduling the surgery. She made me feel very comfortable and I did not feel rushed.rnrnDr. Marquez took excellent care of me through the operation and after. I appreciate her follow up with me even now that I am home recuperating.rnrnI would recommend Dr. Marquez to anyone that is considering weight loss surgery.
