Dr. Weinstien seems really great. He is straight to the point, and has tremdeous knowlegde of WLS. I was impressed with him right off. His office moved things along very fast for my approval. I am waiting now to have my surgery on 12/28/07. I will update more after my surgery exeperience.rnrnWell its now 3months and some days after my surgery. I have had a lot of nauisa and vomiting, but Dr. Weinstien has been a true champ with his bedside manner. He and the nurses at his office really show a caring side to the patients. I could not have asked for a better surgeon than Dr. Weinstien!

attended a seminar he did at Mobile Infirmary Hospital. They answered all my questions I had. From my experience so far the staff and the doctor have been great. It also helps me know that I will be having my surgery at a Center of Excellance

He is a very caring man. Tells you up front what to/what not to expect before, during and after surgery. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

My first impression of him was that he cared. My appointment went really good.

Dr. Ringold is more than a surgeon. He helps those who wantto help themselves. When I had my first consult with wonderful man, he didn't make me feel bad about my weight only wanted to know what I wanted and needed for me to be happy and healthy.rnAll of his staff are wonderful caring people. All are there to help support you along the way.rnI had a bleeding issue after my surgery, and Dr. Ringold was there for not only me, but for my fiance as well. He took no chances with my care and made sure I pulled through it.rnTo me and my family, Dr. Ringold is a wonderful, caring, compasionate man, that helps people meet their life long goals!

Jan 15,07 started my clear liquid diet today until my surgery on Monday Jan22,07 Not really into this clear liquid stuff but I can do it. Iam getting alittle scared and excited at the same time.

I liked Dr. Weinstein from the first consultation I had in his office. I was very nervous, and had a lot of questions, and he was very warm and caring with all his answers. He seemed to honestly care about my personal situation. each time I went back to his office, he always seemed happy to see me, and so proud of my progress. His staff was, for the most part, friendly to me. His surgical competence and bedside manner were great to me, however my family did say that he didn't have much to say to them. He was concerned only with me. They just would have liked to have a little more information, but overall, I would still rate him a 9 out of 10, because he helped me regain my life!

Dr. Hannon is awesome. He has been very professional, kind and caring from the first consultation right through to my first post op check up! If I had it to do all over again I would definitely still choose Dr. Hannon. He and his staff have been GREAT! Now I know why he has such a tremendous track record!

Dr. Weinstein is all \"business\" but to me, it wasn't about the bedside manner - it was about the surgeon's skills. In my opinion, I selected one of the best, if not the the very best. rnrnMy husband had surgery approximately 2 years after I did and the surgical practice had changed quite a bit in their education of patients regarding the procedure itself, and follow up. All for the good, though.rnrnThe last bullet asks if surgical competence or bedside manner is better. If you can get both from one physician that's great. If not, you should go with surgical skill. Who cares if the bedside manner is bad? Hopefully, you won't be seeing this person but a few times anyway.

Dr. Ringold is the sweetest doctor. I happen to be one of his \"difficult\" patients in that my port has not been very cooperative. He has been an absolute angel through all this. He has such a wonderful bedside manner and I always feel that when he is in the room with me and talking to me that I am his only patient he is concerned about at that particular time. He never rushes or makes me feel like he is too busy to take care of his patients. He has been just wonderful to me and I am blessed to have such a wonderful doctor to help me with this journey. Also his staff is also great!! They all seem so helpful and understanding. I agree too that the wait time in this office is outstanding! I have yet to wait any real length of time. They are very efficient.
