Very kind and very thorough in his explanation of the surgery. The office staff has been very professional and helpful. I know I made an excellent choice. I also did my homework on him and he is a noted surgeon and well respected. rnrnSurgery went very well!
Dr. Turnquest was very professional and very informative. He told me I would probably lose 100 lbs. and weigh in around 155 lbs. He was right on target! Initially I lost 130 lbs but I looked and felt awful. Unfortunately, I moved very far away and was not able to attend the aftercare meetings he told me about. I've \"winged it\" but I have always stayed in touch with Dr. Turnquest by e-mail. He does answer e-mails and I do appreciate this! I've lived as far away as Hawaii and e-mailed him questions and he has replied within a few days! I think he is a great surgeon and well respected by my gastro dr. who referred me to him. His record was clean when I checked him over the Internet and in speaking with his patients. He is primarily a surgeon first so he sees everyone for anything and everything involving surgery. He had done approximately 40 RNYs when I saw him but since I am now 5 yrs out I am sure he has done many. I know of a woman who still sees him on occasion and she is at least 4 yrs out. He is a wonderful doctor in my eyes.
Dr. Turnquest is very patient and caring. rnThe office staff very nice most of time. Be sure to get information in writing. Whom ever you talk to be sure to get their name for point of reference. Dr. Turnquest is supportive. I like that he speaks straight forward. He is well educated in the field and pulls not punches with you. Straight to the point kind of doctor.rnAfter care-two weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months visit. I am also able to call his office and speak with a nurse, ofter time the doctor would call me back. Repeat many times the risk.rnSurgical competence and bedside manner, If I had to choose surgical competence. Dr. Turnquest is a great doctor. I appreciate his approach of do not worry be happy attitude. Things that I think is an emergency he may feel that they are not, but through it all he will be patient with you and your issues. I love Turnquest and highly recommend him to everyone.
Dr Turnquest's name was given to me by a Co-worker. From the moment I met him, I realized everything she said was true. He was very thorough in his explanation of the procedure, risks and what to expect. But his kindness and softspoken manner completely put me at ease. His staff has been thorough and efficient, too. Of course surgical competence is of the utmost importance, but his bedside manner is necessary and very much appreciated. This is a life changing procedure with potential risks involved. I don't want anyone to sugarcoat anything, but I don't want them to scare me to death either. So far I am completely comfortable with how everything has progressed to this point. We'll see After the surgery.
I loved Dr.Turnquest. He really takes the time to get to know the patient. I first went to Dr.Legget and knew I had to look for another surgeon. Thank goodness my husband works at the hospital and found Dr.Turnquest. I would recommend him to anyone that is thinking of wls and lives in Houston on the NW side of town. He works out of Northwest Hospital and is the best.
Dr Turnquest is my Hero ~~~rnHe was great from the beginning !!rnI am 3 mos post op and feel fabulous !!rn-52 lbs !rnI give him a perfect 10 !!
My first impression was, \"WOW A DOCTOR THAT WANTS TO KNOW MY CONCERNS\" and not treat and talk to you like a child. He is very soft spoken and listens to his patients. His staff is extremely helpful. If you send them an email they respond back to you the same day depending on the time. I was given everything that I needed to have done on the first visit. I completed everything within a 2 week period. I would highly recommend Dr. Turnquest to everyone I know.
Dr Turnquest is a very soft spoken and warm person. He answered all my questions. I would recommend him highly. But I would also recommend to you that you know what you want.
Dr. Turnquest is absolutely a blessing from above. He is thorough and detailed and has a bedside manner that is paralleled to none. I thank God for him everyday of my life. God truly orchestrated the operation and He used Dr. Turnquest as His instrument. God bless him and his family.
