Dr Foote is THE BEST!!!!rnI never had any problems with his office staff at all and was treated very well.rnI liked everything about Dr Foote.rnDr Foote doesn't beat around the bush...he tells you like it is.rnYou must follow the guidelines that are given to you if you want to succeed in this WLS.rnYou must exercise to help you tone up and lose weight. Go to support group meetings which are very beneficial to you. And make sure you get all your protein and water in each and every day along with the vitamins. And also follow-up on your post-op visits.rnAll surgeris have risks. If you do what you are told there should be NO problems.rnOn a scale of 1-10...I would say a 10+!!!! Excellent Dr!!!! rnBoth are great...makes you feel like a human instead of another paycheck.rnGOD BLESS DR. FOOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!rn

Dr. Foote was one awesome and very caring gentleman. I am very happy to have him as my surgeon. I would recommend him to anyone would is in this area.

Dr. Foote is a very caring person. He made sure I knew the ins and outs of the surgery. He made me feel very comfortable with my decision.

Hello everyone,

My name is Karen and I am 3 weeks out.
Doctor Foote did my surgery and all I can say about him is "He is the Man!"

He is very caring and professional and he did a wonderful Job on my surgery.

I am so thankful that I got him.

He spoke to me about all of the risk involved, yet he assured me that he could handle the job, without even saying it.

He never said a word about his faith, but I just knew.

The thing that I love about him the most is that he is a Christian.

He did not tell me this, but the love and care of Jesus just shines through.

I knew that he was not depending totally on himself to do my surgery, but he placed my surgery in "Hands greater than his".

If you are looking for a wonderful doctor.
get Doctor Foote

You will be glad that you did.

What can I say about him besides...wow. He did an incredible job. His bedside manner is incredible, and his PA's are just as wonderful. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone I know. The office staff was pleasant most of the time but they did have their off days.

He seems very knowledgable and personable Dr. I look forward to working with him on this.

HE IS AMAZING!!!! he did the Orientation session i was in and i thought it was awesomet that the surgeon did the orientation rather than a nurse or a spokesman . He was very nice and very helpful . i couldnt wait to meet him for my one on one visit which again was great! He new exactly what to say to make me feel very comfortable with the surgery and i could tell he trully cared! I feel so good being under his care! And hes good looking too :)

First impression was very supportive, willing to answer any questions. I have only met him once, so have little else to say at this time.
I have now changed to Dr Foote, because I have chosen to pursue the DS surgery instead. I thought he was genuine, tender, and willing to do everything he could do for you. He answered all my questions, big and small, with the same respect level for both.
He inspires trust.

Well it has been back and forth for several months whether Dr. Foote or Dr. Alverdy would do my surgery but it looks like I am approved for DS surgery with Dr. Foote. My initial visit with him was great. It is so refreshing to find a doctor that understands the struggle we go through being morbidly obese. He seems very caring and understanding and I liked him from the first minute I met him. He is very young but that just insures he is up on all the latest techniques. I do feel I am in great hands. The staff at MMPC is great. Somehow they got BC/BS to approve my surgery even though I could not meet the documentation requirements. Dr. Foote stresses aftercare which I think is very important. Overall I would give him and his staff an A+.

I really liked Dr. Foote from the moment I met him. He joked and made me feel really comfortable. My impression of him has not changed.
I did have an appointment to meet with him 4 weeks after surgery, but he was running behind and I never got to see or talk with him.
The staff at MMPC are wonderful. They treat you with respect. That is hard to find when you are over weight.
