I haven't met the surgeon yet but his office staff is more helpful and wonderful than any surgery patient could ever hope to have. Both of the surgeons in the group, Dr. Keith Ash and Dr. John Souza, are highly recommended by the people in their community. The office staff has taken time above and beyond that required to make sure that I understand all aspects of this "journey". I can only assume, with a staff as well trained, compassionate and knowledgable as the staff at Heart of Georgia Bariatrics, that Doctor Ash and Souza are the same. I'll know soon!

My surgery is over now and I am back at work (exactly two weeks post op). Met the surgeon and would never be able to ask for a better person. Aftercare is very important to the surgeon's office and it is very important to me also! I know that you are not supposed to comment that all is positive but I can truthfully say that there was not even one negative situation/comment/ feeling/mannerism, etc. expressed during my surgery and hospital stay. I would do it again in a heartbeat and would never consider using a doctor other than Dr. Souza. He is the absolute best! My impression of him has only changed for the better and more positive since I first met him and his staff.
Dr.Souza is a soft spoken man who is willing to spend as much time with you as nessary so you are well informed about what to expect from your surgery.
My impression of him hasn't changed he seems truly concerned for my health and has given me encouragement throughout my post surgery recovery and life style changes.
the office staff at Dr. Souza"s office are very helpfull. Several of the have had gastric bypass themselves.
They emphasize aftercare very much, and have a well structured aftercare program.Dr. Souza told me that after surgery I was his pt. for life.
I was well informed about the risks and benifits of surgery and what I could expect to see as reasonable results from the surgery.
Over all I would rate Dr.Souza and his staff as helpful competent and caring.
