James Foote Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

Young, normal down to earth, nice, funny. knowledgeable. Office staff overworked, busy, but typical. Doctor was very understanding in my concerns took the time to explain any questions I had. Since I haven't had surgery yet, (11-19-03) I hope he is as good as hia bedside manner.

I can not say enough about Dr. Foote and the staff at MMPC. They are all kind, CARING and extremely knowledgable. I took alot of time to research gastric bypass and I was so glad to pursue this with them. Overtime, my impressions increased - they were at 110% at my first encounter...and increased to 150% at the time of discharge. I feel as though each staff member treats me as their only patient, when I KNOW there are 14,999 more. I would not say that I dislike a thing about their staff/procedures. They are trained and developed to help people. Aftercare programs are excellent - there are handouts to come home with that explain everything, in layman's terms - 24 hour access to MMPC. I called last night at 9pm and someone called me back five minutes later. Risks were explained fully - statistics compared nationally and directly to MMPC - good concept. Extremely pleased with the entire program....need anymore testimonials? I'm your girl....

Dr Foote is a concerned and caring surgeon.

My first impression of him was that he was so young and I was concerned about his level of expertise. However, he was recommended to me from a friend who is also a doctor so I trusted that he was capable.

Dr Foote has an excellent staff who all seem to take a genuine interest in all of their patients. They occasionally have scheduling issues, but all in all, they do an excellent job.

Dr. Foote does an excellent job of pre-screening and thoroughly explains the procedure, risks and costs. He is compassionate and made me feel comfortable and well informed.

He is an excellent surgeon with a great bedside manner. I highly recommend him to anyone contemplating bariatric surgery.

Dr. Foote was informative and helpful throughout my surgery. I would not hesitate to have him do it again even though I had a few problems after surgery. Bedside manner is not as important to me as competence. What I liked about Dr. Foote is if he has a problem he doesn't hesitate to ask his associate Dr. Baker for assistance. It takes a good person who is willing to listen to your peers and act on them. I have worked with many Doctors in the past and many would rather eat dirt then listen to advice from others. Or they have that God attitude, thank goodness Dr. Foote is not like that.

MMPC has a structured aftercare and follow you very closely. That is what I like about MMPC is they don't just do the surgery and let you fend for yourself after surgery. I have recommended MMPC to several of my friends since surgery and will continue to toot their horn.

My first impression of Dr. Foote was he was a man that knows what he is doing, he got right to business with me, telling me what was going to happen, what needed to be done yet and answered any questions that I may have had. The office staff at MMPC is and has always been very friendly and outgoing, they are truly the back bone behind this business, with all the schulding they have to finagal. ITs amazing.....

Dr. Foote is great! He is very thorough about explaining the surgery. He is always willing to answer any questions that you may have. I was nervous about this surgery, but since meeting Dr. Foote, I do feel better. So far all of his staff members that I have talked to have been very helpful and just wonderful friendly people! I am very glad that I picked MMPC!

I LIKED DR.FOOTE THE FIRST TIME I SEEN HIM, HE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING SO I COULD UNDERSTAND IT BUT DID NOT TREAT YOU LIKE YOU WERE DUMB. SO FAR THE OFFICE STAFF HAS BEEN GREAT.

I changed surgeons, to Dr. Foote for BTC isn't taking BCBS anymore.

I have meet with Dr. Foote and found him to be very warm and pleasant! He seems to really have his heart devoted to helping people. He did my EGD and made me feel very comfortable then too! I have surgery on May 22nd with him, and feel very confident in him!
***UPDATE***Had my surgery on May 22nd with Dr. Foote. He is an excellent surgeon, and really makes you feel that he cares for you as a person, not a number! He came to see me while waiting to go in for surgery to make sure I was doing ok, and to make sure I knew what was going to happen when I was taken back to the surgical room. I had no surprises as he explained things wonderfully. I had no fears going into this surgery with him, and I have to add that Todd (the one who assisted in my surgery with Dr. Foote) really made things easier also. They both checked on me a few times after surgery, and I was released the next evening!! I can't thank them both enough for the wonderful experience and the honor of having them work on me!!! I would highly recommend Dr. Foote to anyone!!!

Dr. Foote seemed like a wonderful man as well as a man of faith which was VERY important to me. My surgery was pushed up because of my gallbladder problems so I didn't meet with him as often as other patients might prior to surgery. He is very thorough and makes sure you and your family (support) understand all pros and cons of the surgery. He is also very comfortable to be around and makes you feel like you are free to ask questions. His staff is delightful and save but one phone conversation, all seemed to be highly versed and extremely knowledgeable in their given fields. Aftercare is top priority with this surgeon and his staff which really impressed me. I didn't want to walk out of the surgical room and have to deal with the many changes I would be encountering all by myself. I have yet to begin the aftercare program (except for immediate post-op) but from what I've already learned, the aftercare program is very structured. I am feeling better than I thought I would after only 7 days and would be happy to refer anyone to Dr. Foote. It truly would be difficult to find anything negative to say about this surgeon.
