Lamar L. Snow (COE) Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

Dr. Snow is a great and wonderful doctor with wonderful bedside manner. He explained the entire procedure to me in detail and he let me ask all of the questions and took the time to answer any thing I asked him in reference to this surgery.

My impression of him has only gotten better, he is very complimentary and very encouraging. His office staff is delightful to work with and are eager to help you with your paper work to get you scheduled.

I am sure they have an aftercare program but I have not been involved in it.

Dr. Snow told me all of the risks of surgery and all of the pros and cons.

I think a doctor should definitely be competent in his field ad Dr. Snow was one of the pioneers of this surgery in this area. As far as his bedside manner you couldn't ask for anyone kinder.

In my opinion, Dr. Snow seemed experienced in this type of surgery. He answered all questions and told me possbible complications. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downfall was that there is usually a long wati in the office.

He was friendly and spent time with you.
I like Dr snow and am glad to have him doing my surgery.
He has a great office staff..very nice and love to talk to you..
I felt lower then him it is hard to explain..He was great I just felt ingnorant I guess.
Everyone should know that he is a great Dr and you should be proud to have him as your Dr.
We never talked about aftercare.
Dr Snow did tell me about the risks of this surgery, and he will talk to you about your worries..Thats were I felt ignorant..I thought I was asking way to many questions so I stopped...He just was looking at me so I am not sure what he was thinking...
I think his rate over all is good, I think everyone could stand a little improving but he was very nice.
I think there both important..but if I had to choose I would pick surgical competence..big time..wouldnt you...

I really liked Dr. Snow , he is very confident in what he does , he tells you just like it is , plain and simple, no fancy big words, but most of all he takes his time , and listens to you.... and ask you do you have any questions ... He is also not going to tell you something he cannot do , he will say I have to do what is best for the patient.... And , i respect him for that.. I have had about 6 people that i know use him and i have heard nothing but good things and how Dr. Snow has gave them a new life, Thank God , he gave Dr. Snow the knowledge, ability , and a willing heart to want to help people make a life change for the better....... Bless you Dr. Snow

Very impressed by Dr. Snow and his staff. Worth driving to Mobile to see. Dr. Snow never hesitated to answer any of my questions, and I had many!

My first impression of Dr. Snow was very positive. He asked me questions to be sure that I was aware of how I had arrived in his office. He explained in detail what the surgery entailed and gave me an overview of my life after surgery.

Dr. Snow's staff was professionally pleasant but not overly friendly. They did not seem to be truly interested in me or any details about me. They did their job and nothing else.

The only difficulty I see with Dr. Snow is the follow-up or aftercare. I had surgery on a Tuesday and went home on a Thursday and was at work that Saturday. I was told to do what I felt like doing. After a week at work, I now realize that I needed at least two if not three weeks to recuperate fully. I have a lot of questions that I haven't found the answer to and don't like feeling alone with this.

Overall, I would rate Dr. Snow as excellent as a surgeon and for his bedside manner; but so far, the aftercare has not been sufficient.

I had my first consultation January 29,2002. Filled out a lot of paper work and had to wait almost 2 hours before I saw him. He was very easy to talk to and described in detail what would be done and what to expect. I really was impressed with him and on a scale from 1 to 10; I give him a 10. His office staff is very helpfull and has done a great job in getting the paper work off to my insurance company. After they got my records from my doctors and all the necessary paperwork they sent it out a week after I saw him. I was approved in 2 weeks. I had my next visit with him April 4, 2002 and the earlist they could set up for my surgery was July 2, 2002. So far all appointments made with him; you have to wait at least 1 to 2 hours to see him. But he will spend a lot of time talking to you and will answer any questions you ask. I will beable to get my pre-op studies done here in Pensacola, FL with my primary care doctor 2wks before the surgery. I have heard so many good things about him from members in my WLS support group and the ones who have had surgery with him have had great results and say he is a great surgeon. I can't wait!!!

On my first visit I thought that he was very nice and knowledgable. 12/13/01 On today's visit I started to like him a lot more. I had been asking some of the doctors that I work with about Dr. Snow. They all had good thing to say about him. They mostly talked about his abilities in this particular type surgery which increased by confidence level greatly. He was very "down to earth, somewhat serious-minded, but something this life changing is a very serious matter. He was also very up front. He does not give into some of the rationalizations we "Pleasantly Plumb" individuals dish out to explain the reason that we are, for a lack of a better term, "FAT". For me this quality will be helpful in that will allow me to admit defeat with the weight loss battle and keep me geared in the right direction.

My first appointment with Dr. Snow was Oct 24, 2001. He was very easy to talk to, he listened and answered my questions. He was very attenative and informative. We didn't really discuss much aftercare but, I have another appointment with him before surgery. His staff is very patient and also attenative to questions. I am very happy with Dr. Snow and his staff.

Dr. Larmar Snow was a very kind and caring man around middle 60's in age. I had all my ducks in a row when i went to him. (letter of medical need, pros and cons of surgery, goals, medical history including weight history. He drew out what he would do during the surgery and answered all questions. My husband was also very please with him. His staff all seemed concerned. When anyone goes to him they should be prepared and have done their research. He says that the aftercare is so important. That for this surgery to be a success you should really follow all instructions and not set unrealistic goals. He did say that as in any surgery there are risks and went through them but that he felt the risks were so slight that in my case he felt like this would be the way to go. I believe he will be a very caring doctor all the way to the end of the recovery. He does want me to have a follow-up with my primary care doctor within two weeks of surgery so I can be monitored by him as well. I will be seeing a nutreionsit (spelling) for a period of time after surgery. Dr. Snow feels that a lot of my medical problems will be much better not long after surgery.
