My first impression of Dr. Wood that he is a no nonsense, straight forward man. He is very kind and knowledgeable. He takes time to answer all of your questions, no matter how long it takes. He was a joy to meet and I am so happy he did my surgery. His surgical competence and bedside manner were great, I have no complaints.
Dr. Wood was concerned and dedicated to weight loss and healthy life style for his patients. You could actually see his caring in his eyes. He has a well organized office and staff. They provide you with all the information, teaching and referrals necessary. My insurance was well known for denying bariatric surgery of any kind, in fact my regular physician told me to give up because it was impossible to get it approved. Dr Woods office got mine approved less than a week after I submitted all the preop requirements. They walked me through the whole process! He has a good before and aftercare program. Dr. Wood has a lovely bedside manner and is well known for his surgical expertise. He and his staff are great!
First Impression- very nice and kind, genuine.rnrnImpression stayed the same, he cares and is excited after his job is done.rnrnStaff is very friendly and helpfulrnrnHe emphasizes aftercare is for the rest of your life.rnrnI would give him a 10!!!rnrnBedside manner and surgical competence are both there and very important.
Dr. Wood is a wonderful surgeon who really knows his stuff. He cares about his patients and doesn't want them in pain. I told him about the pain I've been having in my belly and he quickly ordered cat scans blood work and both a colonoscopy and endoscopy. He is easy to get ahold of and very friendly. He's also great at making you feel proud and confident. Plus he can always make you smile!
My I first met Dr. Wood I knew I was in the best hands, not only because my God-Sister referred me but he gave me hope. To this day I still feel the same way about Dr. Wood he is like a father figure and he has a goal for me that I have not met. Before I go and see him I must reach my goal. The staff that Dr. Wood has is amazing and fun to work with. I must say that they is nothing that I do not like about myself. rnDr. Wood wills for you to do your best and he will not accept anything else but the best. I believe that the after care was great and they go over and beyond. The entire staff explain the risk of surgery in ways that you could not believe. When it comes to an overall rating I give Dr. Wood and his office staff an A. I feel that that both are great.
Dr Wood was excellent with the pre op period and the surgical period. I have found that his office does not have enough support available for the post op patient. I think he needs a more structured aftercare program. Overall I found him to be a kind and competent Dr.. I would recommend him for surgery but maybe find a better post recovery long term program.
I haven't actually met Dr. Wood. I have had my consultation with his assitant Dr. Taylor. rnMy surgery will be done by Dr. Wood, I have heard wonderful things about him. And am confident in my choice of surgens. rnI LOVE LOVE all the people at ABMI. They are all so nice, and informative. I have NO doubts about anything, and am excited to start my journey.
