Daryl Stewart Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr Stewart was wonderful, he was patient with the numerous questions that both i and my husband asked. His staff was always on the ball and Leah was wonderful with helping me get my insurance together.

My surgeon is Dr. Daryl Stewart, Denton Tx
on first impression of him he is a very quiet sort of man. very knowledgable and thorough.

He doesn't seem to laugh much, but I did get him to chuckle a couple of times! As I also work in the surgical area, I can relate a bit with the personalities of the surgeons, we are all a bit strange in one way or another LOL.

His office staff try to be nice, they just need to work on more customer relations better. Sue his PA and assistant is Wondeful! Keeps him in line.

If you are looking for a feel good, pat you on the back kind of Dr with super bedside manners,he is not that. He is however very nice, pleasent, but most of all his surgical competence is great.! That is the most important part, SKILLED in his line of work, especially revisions.

There is a structured aftercare program, Now some does pertain to DS, there for a while it still had too much leaning to RNY. They have now revamped and have a separate program for DS patients.

I am most pleased I chose Dr. Stewart, have been well cared for and feel he did a great job, removing my band was rough, as it had formed a calcium seal on the suture lines on the sternum, but it is SUCH a relief to have that gone!.. Now I can begin to live a normal life again!!

Dr. Stewart and his team are the best.

My first impression of Dr. Stewart was of a dedicated doctor. He is quiet, thoughtful and sincere. His staff are friendly and helpful. Since I had the duodenal switch I delt with Sue mostly and she is completely competent and knowledgeable. She is an intrigal part of the DS experience as she does the after care classes for the DS patients. Dr. Stewart is dedicated to aftercare and expects his patients to be also. At the semminar I attended, he was straight forward about the risks of surgery. I would recommend him to anyone.

I first met Dr. Stewart at his informational seminar. He impressed me because, he wanted to make sure I had information on ALL of my choices for WLS so I could make the best decision for ME. I have since had my one on one consult and he made sure all my questions were answered and has specific structured guidelines. Being a nurse, I asked if I could get out of the hospital \"early\" (3 night stay) but he reinforced there is a reason that he does things a certain way and to do it differently would not be wise. Guess that is why he is the doctor! I have complete faith in Dr. Stewart and the procedure I have chosen = DS.rnI liked how Hayley updated weights here SO I am borrowing her idea!

Dr. Stewart is a man who emphatically understands obesity. Future patients should know that he is a top notch surgeon who performs all the various WLS. Additionally, his DS patients have had remarkable successes. I cannot recommend the importance of doing your research before having surgery--\"think twice and cut once.\" I owe Dr. Stewart my life; I am forever indebted to him. rnrnThank you Dr. Stewart for using your talent to change people's lives.

In the process of changing surgeons from Dr. Barker to Dr. Stewart.

Nothing negative to say about Dr. Barker, he just did not do the surgery I wanted to do.

Dr. Stewarts office is calmer and more relaxing. Did not feel like a number there at all. Dr. Stewart took his time with me to make sure I understood the risks of surgery, and he explained to me how it would be done. He explained the comments I received from Dr. Barker regarding my pyloric stenosis history and what that would mean during the surgery. He addressed the risks of surgery.

His insurance coordinator, Leah, is awesome. She has quite calmly put up with my panicy self. Think she has figured me out. :)

Do not have information about other issues yet. Will update after my surgery.

Please note that the above is strictly my opinions and observations.

Dr. Stewart is a quiet man who loves his work.rnDuring the hospital stay, I was at times frustrated because of his straight forward approach. I learned to appreciate his honesty and give him time to tell me what to do. I wished he had been more \"hand holding\" but that is not his job. I felt he covered well the risks of surgery. I would give high recommendation for him. You can tell how much Dr. Stewart loved surgery when he did rounds on surgery days, he was just happier.rnI would not say he has a bad bedside manner, just forward and to the point. As to which is better...in a perfect world the doctors who did surgery on us would also cry with us when it hurts like hell, but give me competence any day.

Dr. Stewart is very knowledgeable and through, you will know everything you need to know about the different surgeries at the end of your seminar, it was a really long seminar, the longest I have ever been too. During my initial visit with him he was very kind and sociable as well as through (again with that word). Asked me what I wanted as far as surgery, I told him the DS, we then talked about where to have the surgery and decided on Denton Regional, so he could use the DaVinci robot. I am very happy that he will be using this awesome tool. His office staff is courteous and very trained, when I went in for my first & second appointments and they are very good about trying to schedule you especially if you are coming from out of town. I have about an hour drive but it is well worth it, especially considering that he is one of the only two surgeons that are performing the D.S. in TX, and people are coming in from all over the state. He seems to consider you a patient for life and gives great emphasis on before and after care and groups. He is very upfront with you about the risks of surgery, but that being said he has an excellent record of successful surgeries. He is the first surgeon that I really felt was right, and has made my decision to go for the surgery very simple. I think he is the right man for the job and has the skills and training to make this a reality for me.

Dr. Daryl Stewart is a superior surgeon who really seems to care about his patients well being. He is very quiet which doesn't exactly match my personality, but this is the same way with my PCP. I chose a SMART, No-Nonsense surgeon for his skills. rnrnThe office staff has been most helpful-if a little busy and scattered at times.rnrnDr Stewart strictly enforces aftercare and is concerned about my success and has a structured aftercare program as well as having office staff being available at all times for questions.rnrnAnd I would have to say his surgical competence is the BEST and his bedside manner is pleasant.rnrnI would not hesitate to recommend this surgeon to anyone!
