My first impression of Dr. Mason is that he was very professional. He was not into the business of \"selling\" weight loss surgery. He just gave the facts. He is a very kind man. He always gives me a hug when he sees me. He is truly concerned about his patients. His office staff is great. Someone is almost always available to talk to right away, or gets back to me quickly. They know their stuff. Carla is a very compassionate nurse and wants you to feel better soon. She will do whatever she can to help you. Everyone made me feel as if I had known them a long time. I would recomend them to anyone, and in fact, have! Dr. Mason, YOU ROCK!!!

I really like Dr. Mason. He's always been great about answering questions and taking care of problems quickly. His staff, especailly his nurse Carla are Awsome. We had problems with the insurance company approval and they kept working it until the Insurance said yes!rnrnAftercare and followup, are extremely important. Dr. Mason is part of the St. Jospeh's bariatric program which is excellent in it's pre and post op education and information.
I think Dr. Mason is a wonderful surgeon. My whole experience with him and his staff has been great. He talks to you and shows real concern with how you are feeling and progressing. He explained everything about the surgery and addressed the risks of surgery. I always felt like I was in good hands. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have the VSG procedure.
First appointment is 6/30/2008. He did my husband's hernia repair 10/2007 and I liked his bedside manner. Dr Mason did a lap band on 2/12/2009. I really like his personality, his staff and his professionalism. The surgery went excellant and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a surgeon in Bryan, TX.
My first impression was that he was young!...lol...but I liked him right off. You could tell he was there to help his patients. He is very concerned about the well being of his patients. His office staff is FANTASTIC!!! They too just want to help you an anyway possible. They have made my experience much easier. Future patients should know that they will not only be getting an excellent surgeon but a caring one. He does emphasize aftercare but it is mostly handled by his nurse practitioner & nurses, wich are all great! He was very up front about the risks. Overall Dr. Mason & his staff is a perfect 10.!
Seemed quiet and professional upon first impression. I thought maybe too quiet, then I hung around after the seminar, he and the staff really took personal interest in helping me find a surgeon right for me, since he thought he could not be mine due to my low bmi. When those \"in-house\" rules could be changed, he got me in and we moved forward. I felt lucky to have found someone who remembered my needs and actually went out of his normal routine to get me the care I wanted. Right here in my town. I would have had this done anywhere I could, but local was great.rnrnOffice staff great. Really like the education and fill staffers. Their experiences are comforting and priceless. This was a perfect experience. I am a RN, so may be a little more \"picky\"- just what I needed - not too much -nothing lacking.
