Matt Kirkland Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS, Director, Bariatric Surgery

I only visited with Dr. Kirkland once before surgery and I got a very good impression of him. He is very professional and knows exactly what he is doing. My only regret is not asking any questions thinking that I knew all the answers. I unfortunatly didn't know about this sight until after I had the surgery. Boy did I realize that I knew absolutly NOTHING about this surgery. Dr. Kirkland did not give me much information about after care or nutrition, but he made it very clear that doing this surgery for weight loss was not his specialty. He normaly does this for cancer patients. He did tell me that the risk factors were very low especially since I was in very good health, besides the weight. I would rate Dr. Kirkland and his team of surgeons an 8 out of 10 there was only 1 doctor in his team that I did not like at all. His sugical competence is excellent as well as bedside manner, he is a very compationate person.
