I was very pleased with Dr. Lavin. He has great bedside manor and made me feel very comfortable. His practice is booming. THe only reason I didn't give perfect score is because I have "issues" with one of the office staff. Not accommodating, sarcastic, just a witch! I almost looked for a different surgeon. THank God I didn't!!
dr. michael thomas was my physician a year ago and 4 months. his wife assisted in my surgery in metairie, la. i have achieved my goal minus 10 lbs. i'm very happy and received the best possible medical care. my daughter was approved for the surgery by her insurance company a few months ago and she has lost 50lbs to date. i would not allow her go to another medical facility as she is 33 years old.
a friend of mine died a few days ago from lapband surgery by another covington medical firm and i ASK ALL OF YOU TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK, ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS POSSIBLE.
SURGICAL SPECIALIST IS PROFESSIONAL AND KNOWLEDGABLE IN THE GASTRO FIELD. FIND A PHYSCIAN WHO IS A SPECIALIST IN THIS FIELD. DO NOT GO CHEAP, GET WHAT U PAY FOR. YOU GO CHEAP, U GET CHEAP.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. THOMAS, LAVIN AND FRENCH. MY FRIEND PAID FOR ALL THREE OF HER CHILDREN TO HAVE THE SLEEVE BY SURGICAL SPECIALIST AND SHE WENT CHEAP, GOT CHEAP AND IS NOW DEAD.
Dr. French is an amazing physician. The first time my husband and I met him he spent almost 2 hours with us. I was weighing the option of revision. He performed a procedure on me and then agreed to do my revision. The second time we saw him he was also very friendly, answered all of our questions and was not rushed at all. I felt so comfortable with him. When I was in the hospital, the day after surgery, he was not the physician on call, but he called me in the evening to check on me. I cannot say enough good things about him. I will see him again in 2 weeks and I look forward to it.
Dr. French is a obviously a very knowledgable Dr. but if you want someone who is going to be there with you every step of the process, it's not him. I saw him once in the office to sign the paperwork and then a few minutes before I was knocked out prior to surgery. One of the other doctors from his group came in and saw me the following day and released me. That being said, His staff is awesome. The nurse practioners are very helpful, the nutritionist is there any time I need her or have a problem. I had very few issues the days following my surgery and the nurse's actually answered the phone and had a conversation with me. They are great. So if we were basing this on skill level Dr. French would be a 10, as for availability a 1. I really don't care though because his staff is that good.
Dr. Lavin was very friendly and professional. He fully explained my procedure to me. Surgery was at Crescent City Surgical. The surgical center was very nice and I was well taken care of.
Very impressed with Dr. Lavin and his Staff.
Dr. Warden is great. He is straight forward and listens to his patients. He was the surgeon for my lap-band and performed my revision on Tuesday. The aftercare is structured. The stage of food progression is very detailed and easy to follow. I would never go to another surgeon.
His bedside manner is reserved. I think that I freaked him out when I hugged him today. The office staff is wonderful.
Dr French and the entire staff at Surgical Specialists of Louisiana are awesome!! From the first time I called, I have been treated with respect and dignity by a compassionate and knowledgeable staff. Sometimes, I felt like I was bugging them, but they NEVER made me feel that way! They offer a weekly support group for those considering surgery, those post surgery and everyone in between. It has only been a week out, but I already know--they gave me the tools to save my life!!
Excellent physician!!! He actually cares about his patients. Great bed-side manner. Extremely knowledgeable and gifted surgeon. I credit this man for saving my life!!!
