I was very impressed with him and his staff. I work with him at the hospital now and know that he has a really good bedside manner. Freda is wonderful and very prompt on getting the papers to the insurance company. He covered all the risks of surgery, but working with him, I felt likehe didn't go into detail about it enough. Overall I would still rate him a top notch doctor.
I must say that I loved the whole office up at Dr. Bab's office. After my own extensive research with the bariatric surgeries, I actually learned some things. I must say I've had a difficult time and have had to have lots of patience with all the procedures. I originally was going through The Bariatric Treatment Center out in Wylie. As time went by, my job decided on changing insurance providers right in the middle of me getting my stuff together for my surgery. I let the BTC know, they were out of network and not covered with the new insurance with my old was United Healthcare (who approved it in 2 weeks). My new insurance provider is through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island. I went to the office on July 30th, and my stuff was faxed into the insurance that afternoon. I got the call today 8/5 from the office giving me my surgery date, which is October 1st. Anyways not to babble along, this office is great. Dr Babineau to me has such wonderful bedside manner, at least that's what I could tell and seemed very caring about his patients who are seeking help.
After meeting Dr. Babineau for the first time I wasn't as nervous about the whole thing. Just being in the presence of the man made me feel comfortable.
Dr. Babineau made my husband and I feel like we were the most important people in that office. I'm sure that he did the same for everyone waiting in line behind us that day.
He is a down to earth man with a huge heart.
There's no doubt he enjoys Texas....I love the scrubs and boots. LOL =-)
Dr. Babineau is a wonderful man. He made me feel right at home. We thought of every question about the surgery and he answered everyone very honestly. Even if we really didn't want to hear the answer. I completely trust him. His staff is great, they are very helpful. I felt like I had known them all of my life, and I had just met them. Dr. B, took the time to make sure we knew exactly what the surgery was all about. He also gave us one-on-one time we needed. He didn't rush us at all, in fact I left there feeling even better about having the surgery. I knew more about it than ever. My surgery is set for September 8, 2003. I am so excited. I would recommend him to anyone.
I just wanted to write a word or two about Dr. Babineau and his staff. I had lap RNY 7/18/03 and it is now 7/21/03. I feel great. I am sooo impressed with Dr. Babineau, I think he is a genious. I was amazed at how little pain I had. I am crazy about his office staff also. Freida is just fabulous. I think his surgical expertise and his bedside manner are outstanding. I hope everyone that is thinking of going this route, which is a last hope for many, has the great luck of finding someone as great as Dr. Babineau. I don't think there are any words that could truly express my gratitude.
I WILL BE HAVING MY CONSULTATION WITH HIM ON JULY 17, 03 AND I WILL BE ABLE TO INFORM YOU BETTER.
WELL I HAD MY APPT.ON JULY 17, 2003 AND DR. B IS EVERYTHANG THAT THEY SAY HE IS. AND HE DID HAVE ON HIS COWBOY BOOTS WITH HIS SCRUBS. FROM MY IMPERSSIONS I FELT VERY COMFORTABLE TALKING TO HIM, HE IS A DR. THAT LOOKS AT YOU WHEN YOU ARE TALKING AND ANSWERS ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. I CAME OUT OF THERE VERY PLEASED AND AM HAPPY THAT HE IS GOING TO DO MY SURGERY.
