Swedish Covenent Hospital Bariatric Center

I have went to a Seminar put on my Dr. Chandler and he and his staff have been very impressive. I will visit him for a consult on Jan. 3, 2006.

I really really really love Dr. Chandler. I recommend him to EVERYONE. He is a great person in general. I didnt know much about him when i first starting going to him. But as the time went on, the more i just liked him. He cares, alot of surgeons are in it just for the money. and to say here, ive done 1000000 surgeries. Dr. Chandler isnt llike that. He truely cares, and cares about your HEALTH. not just about the surgery. He came and checked on me EVERYDAY i was in the hospital along with Kathy Grover from Liv-Lite.
I recommend him and Decatur General Nurses to everyone i had the BEST nurses while i was there. 4 of them had had Gastric Bypass so it made it LOTS easier. It truly was a great experience and i'll let Dr. Chandler do another surgery of any kind on me in a heartbeat!!!!

Dr. Nazarian is very compassionate, caring and skilled. Somewhat soft spoken but very intelligent and knows his stuff. I felt like I was in good hands throughout the whole process. I feel very blessed to have met him and have him as my surgeon.

Dr Burry is a very pleasant man. He listens and seems to understand. I would recommend him to anyone. I would rate Dr Burry as a 10.
The office staff is wonderful. They are #1 in my book. They are there and they care about how you feel.
The only thing I did not like was having to purchase the Optifast. I felt it was too expensive and I did not like it.

I first met Dr Burry as he was walking through the unit I work on at my hospital. I introduced my self and he stopped and visited with me for a few minutes. This impressed me because I know how doctors can be. The staff at LivLite are all wonderful, I never had to deal with insurance or any of that stuff, they handled everything. There is a great deal of emphasize placed on aftercare. Dr burry explained all possible risks. He has a great bedside manner as well as excellent surgical competence. I give Dr Burry and his staff a 12 on a 1-10 scale.

I THINK DR.CHANDLER WAS A GREAT DOCTOR. I HAVE NOTHING BUT PRAISES FOR HIM. HIS OFFICE STAFF AND HIS NURSE LISA IS FAR ABOVE RUBIES AND PEARLS. ALSO KATHY AT LIV-LITE IS WORTH MORE THAN HER WEIGHT IN GOLD. LIV-LITE HAVE THE BEST FOLLOW-UP STAFF THAT IS AVAILABLE. IF I HAD HAVE THE SURGERY ALLOVER AGAIN I WOULD STILL CHOOSE DR.CHANDLER I CAN'T SING HIS PRAISES ENOUGH. I FEEL THAT DR. CHANDLER IS NOT DOING THIS SURGERY FOR THE MONEY. HE IS DOING IT TO HELP PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO NEEDED HELP WITH THEIR WEIGHT PROBLEM. HE COVERED EVERYTHING AND HE LISTEN AND ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION I ASK HIM.

My first impression Dr. Nazarian was that he was very knowledgeable about the surgery and confident. He is a soft spoken man, but strong. My impression has not changed, though at times he did seem to come across a bit harsh. I think he knows what needs to be done pre and post op, and there are no if's and's or but's about it. Its just hard when you are hurting to be dealt with in an abrasive manner, but he is a good doctor. He is very conservative when it comes to aftercare, which IMO shows his concern for his patients. His office staff is absolutely wonderful. Rick treats you like you are his own, and answers any and all questions you may have. He is encouraging and understanding, yet very matter of fact and tells it like it is. Dr. Nazarian's other staff members are also wonderful people. I felt cared about and in good hands from the moment I met them.

I was very impressed with his knowledge of the surgery He answered every question that I had. I grew to love Dr. Chandler more and more as I go to my visits with him His office staff is great. They've helped me with any problem that has occured. He isn't a man of a lot of words but when you start talking to him then he opens up and talks back with you. He lets you know up front about things that can go wrong but that he will be with you all the way to fix things that may go wrong. His aftercare is great. He wants your family to be there to support you also. His nurse will even call you at home to see if there is any problems. Kathy Grover calls quite often to check on you and to see if there is anything that I need help with or tho see if I have any questions. He will tell you up front that there are risks from the surgery and that you can even die from the surgery. He is a BIG 10 in my book. I trusted him with my life for this surgery and any other surgery that he may have to perform on me. His surgical competence far exceeded my expectations of him and his bedside manner is great even for a man!

Dr. Burry is wonderful, very caring and friendly with a great bed side manner. The staff Penny and Tracey are the best. We always had a blast at my visits. Its like an extended family. The pre-care and after care programs are great and everyone is very informational. Anytime I had called before and after surgey they would always conact me ASAP on a return call. I would rate Dr. Burry with a 10+ and this staff the same if not higher.. Its is a very special group and i love them all...

Dr. Nazarian is an excellent surgeon. He is very experienced and skilled at what he does. I feel that he tailors the surgery to fit the patient and my results have been great so far. He is a soft spoken man who answers all questions intelligently. The risks were well explained to me. Rick Mark and the rest of Dr. N's staff are all excellent as well. They took care of everything for me and I was able to concentrate on my health and my responsibilites. I would recommend Dr. Nazarian to anyone.
