Q: "What was your first impression of Dr. Curry?" A: Quietly confident, very affable. Sometimes you simply know a thing or person is the right one, and such was the case with Dr. Curry. (I had interviewed two other Drs. previously)

Q: "How did your impression change over time?" A: My impression became my experience. Dr. Curry was everything I had believed he would be, so my initial impression was simply proven.

Q: "How would you describe his/her office staff?" A: Considering all of my years of experience with various doctors, their office staff and facilities, Dr. Curry, his staff and the entire Deaconess facility I rank at the very top of my list.

Q: "What did you like least about him/her?
" A: In a word, nothing. Like I said, he's very affable.

Q: "What should future patients know about him/her?" A: I can't presume to tell people what they should or shouldn't know or lookf for, I can say that I am generally pretty demanding and hard to please, and what I needed to see I found in Dr. Curry and his people. So I guess my answer would be, don't simply settle for someone you are not 100% confident or comfortable with.

Q: "How much does he/she emphasize aftercare?" A: I was dealt with as an adult, an equal. They knew that I had done my homework and they did exactly what I felt was appropriate. I was neither lectured nor patronized. The simply represented the necessary info as imperative, and the rest as suplimental.

Q: "Does he/she have a structured aftercare program?" A: Absolutely, and it is open and free forever. If you feel you need the support a group can provide, it's there. If you need only one on one support, no problem there either, it's all covered.

Q: "How did he/she address the risks of surgery?" A: The risks were discussed, and I was made well aware of the necessary requirements and danger signs. Although minimal, risk dose exist, and you need to know upfront.

Q: "How would you rate him/her overall?" A: As previously stated, one of the best I've known. Both Dr. Curry, his personal staff and the entire Deaconess experience was top notch.

Q: "Which is better, surgical competence, bedside manner, or both great?" A: Again as I previously stated, there is no reason to settle for someone who doesn't FILL the bill. For me, Dr. Curry was the ticket, before, during and now.

Dr. Curry, is a very kind,knowledgable, and professional Dr.
Office staff is very nice.

Aftercare is what makes this surgery successful. WLS is only a tool to aid in losing weight.

Yes, he has a structured aftercare program.
Yes, the risks of surgery are discussed.

So far a resounding 9. May go to ten post op though.

Dr. Curry is very personable. He is involved and caring. His staff is friendly. My lapband surgery went smoothly. I did not feel like the staff and the doctor were always giving me "like" information, but I realize lapbands are fairly new to their office. Although, it is very helpful that Dr. Curry and his staff review his web site daily. Dr. Curry never makes you feel like you have asked a stupid question, or that you are a bother. I would definitely recommend him and his program to others.

It has been several weeks since I first was introduced to Dr C and his crew. Let me tell you one important thing about them. If you are looking to have WLS, please look no further. Dr C and his crew are so sincere. You know this when you first step into their office. I havent yet had my surgery, but I know that with them all will be well. They are so supportive, and I mean this from my heart.

I had my surgery on November 12, 2004. I felt so comphy going in, because I knew I was in good hands. I was in the operating room exactly 58 minutes. I had RNY LAP. I was up the very next day walking up and down the hall way. I had only little pain, and no nausea. I was released on November 14, 2004 and stayed up in the Guest Hotel for two days. I have done really good and I have had no complications. Dr Curry really took great care of me! I would not change a thing! I am so happy I chose Dr Curry and his crew. I thank God for them!!!

Dr.Curry is a wonderful physician that truly seems to care about his patients. At our first meeting, he gave a nice presentation that covered most aspects of wls. Most of it I already knew, but my husband who knew nothing was greatly enlightened. The whole staff was very nice and helpful. I was particularly impressed how my husband was included in the process. More than one member of Dr. Curry's staff invited him to the support meetings. He felt so comfortable in Dr.C's office setting that he started to repair a broken light in the office ;)Besides being embarrassed, I'm happy that now my husband is behind me totally and will help me get through this process.

Dr. Curry is a bright new star in Cincinnati's Bariatric Community! He has a unique approach to his patients. Dr. Curry takes an incredible amount of time getting to know his patients because he believes that the WLS journey is different for each one of us. I have never been treated by a doctor that has more compassion and concern than Dr. Curry. His attention to post-op care is outstanding. He truly wants each one of us to be healthy on our WLS journeys, a characteristic which has won the respect and admiration of hundreds, if not, thousands of WLS patients in an ever-expanding Cincinnati radius. I am very grateful to have Dr. Curry on my side, and I highly recommend his care to anyone contemplating the WLS journey! I just hope that he doesn't forget about us "peons" when he becomes a huge hit in the National Bariatric Community.

I had a really different situation. I was almost on my way to have surgery in another state and something told me not to go there. I then went to the internet and by chance I found the most wonderful Doctor. He was so kind,sweet,caring and so real. I dont think he sees himself this way at all. Thats what makes this man so very special. He makes you feel like you are his only patient. I would reccomend him to my child,as a matter of fact he is doing my son in Jan. He cares all the way,I had mine in July and I still talk to him like my surgery was yesterday. He is the best and think about this wonderful Dr. if you need WLS, Sincerely,Cindy Hoeffel

I am 4 years post op. But just recently, I had the pleasure of having Dr. Trace Curry as my surgeon. I have had complications from my WLS. Or at least that is what I think. I had my third small bowel obstruction just 4 months ago. Prior to this surgery, I felt like I would be having these complications for the rest of my life.

That is until I met Dr. C. He not only peformed the surgery well, but I show no signs of obstructions to this date.

He has a wonderful bed side manner, and makes hiself available to his patients through email, and he even gave me his cell phone number. What doctor does that?

I have a WLS Website, known as imnotfatanymore.com. Dr. C, as he is known to all that just LOVE him, takes questions through out the day, everyday.

He and his staff are all amazing. If you are considering Dr. C, you won't be sorry.

If you have any questions feel free to email me anytime at [email protected].

I had my consultation with Dr. Curry, and I must say, both my husband and myself were very impressed. Dr. Curry was very imformative, relaxed (which is a big plus in my opinion!) and made us feel the same way. He exudes confidence but not cockiness. I would trust my life in the skill of his hands. His staff was just as wonderful, all have a great sense of humor, making you feel relaxed. Even if I am not approved, it was a very nice experience!
