My first impression was a good one. He seemed very competent and had a pleasant personality. His office staff is overall friendly however it seems that they are more money oriented then patient oriented after the surgery is completed. The entire program for presurgery is structured well. They claim to have a post surgery aftercare program that meets on wednesday nights but in the meetings I attended there was never anyone from the doctors office in attendance nor had there been in quite sometime and it was a source of discontent among the people in attendance. Overall I would rate his surgical skill as Excellent. Although on my post op exam no one took my blood pressure or looked at my incisions. All they did was weigh me and then put me in a room to talk to the surgeon who just asked general questions as to how I was doing. He didnt do an exam of any kind either.
Hi everyone...I have scheduled my surgery for Dec. 4. I have read on the website that Cindy is the greatest. Well, I have a compaint. My pre-op was scheduled by her for Nov 25 at St. Elizabeths. I get a call from St. Elizabeth's 2 days before I am supposed to have my pre-op telling me they can't do it. I live in Texas and had already scheduled to be off work for those days. Cindy dropped the ball somewhere and never called the hospital to confirm my dates. I was also given the wrong time to be at the new patient orientation. I would have missed that. As of right now, I am not a very happy patient. Hopefully, after I meet Dr. Hargroder my attitude will change towards his office staff. But, CONGRATS TO KATIE....she got me a pre-op for the day before my surgery...thanks a million Katie.
I went for my consultation visit today.The whole experience with Dr. Hargroder was awesome. The staff was very nice as well. Ok so Im almost a month out...I LOVE Dr.HARGRODER...He was so AWESOME!!!! He makes you feel like you have known him for years, he is so down to earth and on top of everything. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to have surgery:)
Hey there...Dr. Hargroder was great!!! My Sleeve went great!! I'm in minimal pain and discomfort! The wounds are healing great. His office is very prompt with answering questions, and returning calls!!! Cindy is the greatest, she has all the answers, and when she dosen't, his PA Holly does!!! I feely totally confident and safe, suggesting anyone to see him!!!
I love Dr. Hargroder. They are wonderful people. He does group sessions with people on Friday mornings and then meets with everybody individually. He really takes his time to explain everything and answer any and all questions. Mrs. Cindy is a doll. She does whatever she can to help. A+++ To everybody there!
