So far so good. I had read a few other reviews and they were good for the Surgeon however not so good for the staff. I have been very pleased with the staff nothing but friendly and helpful thus far pre surgery. I will update after surgery takes place. The surgery went well and Dr Lowe was fabulous. He has such a great beside manner. I am so glad I chose him as my surgeon. He was pleased with my recovery. We had a funny in the hospital day after surgery. My sister had spent the night with me and she was up packing her stuff to get ready and leave when he came in. He stopped at the door and just looked for a moment. he thought she was me and was just astonished that I would be up and moving so well. What a good giggle. We look alot a like. Dr Lowe answered all of my questions however i didn't have many as i knew some folks who had already had the surgery so they advised me of hte good bad and ugly. I would choose him for my surgeon again and again if needed. His staff has been awesome. There was a problem with the paperwork faxed to the STD folks so I needed them to refax with more information quickly. They were on it and it was refaxed the same day. WOW! that is great. Thank you. GOOD LUCK
Dr. Lowe made a great first impression and continues to be a caring physician. The staff is not the friendliest bunch. Michele is awful. She actually threatened not to allow my surgery to continue for a $30 balance on my account. I wish he had a friendlier and more courteous staff. The nutritionist was of little value. I found more support and info on the obesityhelp website. rnrnI feel Dr. Lowe is very competent and has great beside manner. He is the reason why I like the office.
He was quiet, but listened well.rnI came to know him some,he's smart, funny, and very friendly. His staff is ok...you can deal with them.rnOverall, I would rate Dr Lowe as EXCELLENT!rnSurgical Competence is obviously the best thing for a surgeon to have, Dr Lowe has both Surgical Competence and an excellent bedside manner.rn
Dr. Lowe has been wonderful throughout my journey. When I first met with him he treated me with compassion and respect. The office staff leaves a little to be desired but everyone isn't perfect. My pre-surgical process was made easy because of the check-list they start you with(Jennifer was extremely helpful). The aftercare also was expained with a 8 page handout. Dr. Lowe is both surigcally competent ( I had no drains at all) and bedside manner is great. I would highly recommend him.
Dr. Lowe was super nice and made me feel confident in my descision. He was so informative and had some great suggestions for my 2 week liq. diet before my surgery. rnI feel confrontable with him. His staff is ontop of it. Jennifer is the office cord. and what an postive and caring person. She really worked with me and the paperwork I needed for insurance approval. I have not had one bad experiance with any personal in his office. rnI would recommend Dr. Carl Lowe to anyone who is looking for a Dr.
My first impression of Dr. Lowe was great. He is a very quiet man, but he has alot of knowledge. He was concerned about me being obesed and he said that if I helped along the way this would be a great success. His office staff was good. There are several nurses in there that isn't the friendliest but that is ok. Future patients of Dr. Lowe shouldn't worry about anything bad. He is a great phyisican. The structure after surgery on his part is good, but the nutrientist part isn't going to good. It is a little unorganized because the lady that normally does the work is out having a baby. I feel like my first trip after surgery to the nutrientist was a flop. I have to save that the surgical competence and bed side manner was great. He is AWESOME. Bed side manners is VERY IMPORTANT to ME!! :)
Dr. Lowe was the ulitmate professional. I felt assured of his expertise, but it wasn't cloaked in superiority. He patiently answered all of the questions that DH and I had regarding the surgery and follow-up. He was supportive in my taking this step toward lifetime weight loss. rnrnAt the hospital he continued to be supportive and complimentary of my commitment to the liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I have had no complications.rnrnDr. Lowe is superior. He possesses a great deal of expertise and exudes a quiet, reliable strength!
Bed Side Manners, that was very important to me. I also wanted someone that knew what they were doing and really understood it. I found that Dr. Lowe had every answer to my questions and didn't make me feel rushed. He encouraged questions and he was so genuine, nothing fake about him...that I could see. I look forward to going back to him for my first fill. rnrnThanks Dr. Lowe and Staff!rnYou all were Great!
