Dr. Hill is a wonderful surgeon. He is kind, and patient and very thorough and he makes you feel very comfortable and at ease. Even though I had a hard time in the hopsital after the surgery with keeping fluids down, and I so badly wanted to go home, he kept me in until I was healthy enough to leave. He was more patient than I was for sure. I would definitely recommend him as a surgeon to anyone thinking about having this surgery. Not only is he an excellent doctor, he is also VERY easy on the eyes; which made my hospital stay a little more pleasant,lol. And the staff during my stay at the hospital and the nurses at the office were all great as well.

My first impression of Dr. Hill was great - He bounded into the room with a huge smile and a firm handshake. He then proceeded to go over the surgerical procedure he would be using on me and the risks involved in great detail, even going so far as to draw a diagram.rnand inviting questions all the while. Even thought he is very busy, he never made me feel hurried and he made me feel completely at ease. Aftercare is very important to Dr. Hill -there are monthly support group meetings where the doctor addresses any problems or concerns. The entire Bariatric group is friendly and knowledgable. I dealt with Dr. Hixson in the six month pre op and he was also a very nice person to deal with. He encouraged me with even the smallest weight loss. I would rate Dr. Hill a 10. I have nothing at all negative to say about him or the staff except the two hour drive to get to him.

I had heard so much about Dr. Hill and every bit was true. He is kind, compassionate, intelligent and patient...oh and very handsome too! I wonder if he truly realizes how his surgery changes our lives. To him, it may be a job but to his patients, he is a lifesaver. I can't speak for anyone else but being obese is absolutely degrading...people do not treat us the same way as \"average size\" people...Dr. Hill does, and as afraid as I was, I felt safe with him and I had confidence in his skills. I really believe he saves lives..not only physically by emotionally too. I would recommend Dr. Hill to anyone considering this surgery...in my eyes, he's the best. He's an angel and I hope he knows it!!!!

My first impression was that he was fairly young. This is good if he is to follow my progress over the years. He seemed patient and was thorough in his explanations.rnrnThe staff so far have been great. They are very supportive and friendly.rnrnDr Hill went over the procedure with me in great detail. He explained all the possible pro's and con's. He airs on the side of caution...which works for me.

I have not met him yet, looking forward to it. I hear lots of great things about him, one of them being that he is not too bad on the eyes ;0.

When I first met Dr Hill, it was at a informational meeting. He gave the presentation about the kinds of surgey you could have. Right then and there I knew he was the surgeon I wanted to do my surgey. My impression just got better over time on what a great doc he was. Everyone in the office was willen to help you with any questions. They would be just as excited as you were when you had lost weight and got a date for surgey. I like everything about him. Always ask Dr. Hill questions and he will always answer them. Dr. hill is very big on when you can go home and if you are not ready or he dosen't want you to go home he will not send you. He doesn't lie he tells you that there are risk but he tries not to scare you. I would give Dr.Hill 10+ and I would send anyone to him. The only thing that I was alittle disappointed in was I had to go to the ER adn Dr. Hill didn't come in to see me but I found out afterwards something had come and the other docoter on call never answered their page.

My first impression of Dr. Hill was WOW. He not only is incredibly good looking but young, intelligent, caring and humorous. He was just AWESOME. The office staff sometimes would be a little short tempered, but they work hard and have to deal with people who arn't always respectful of them either. Dr. Hill is always patient and lets you tell him what you need to, he never rushes you. He was not only interested in my well being but always asked about my children and fiance as well. He is especially great with after care. He always checks up on you in the hospital to let you know how your surgery went and what you can expect for that day. He makes sure to detail the surgery process and risks of this operation as well. I would definately rate him a 10 on a scale of 1-10. Everything he does is better than you could imagine. He's definately the best doctor I have ever known. I hope you all get to see the same side of him as I did.

When I first met Dr. Hill, I was totally impressed with him. He explained everything so that I could understand in "lay man" terms. I was extremely nervous and he put me at ease as much as I could possily be. Over time, I am still totally impressed with him. I have had a few minor problems and have had several questions, and he never made me feel that my questions were silly and never rushed me. His office staff have been extremely helpful and supportive. I cannot think of anything that I could find fault with him. He did emphasize the importance of aftercare and what problems to look for. I believe this group has a pretty structured aftercare program. I had my surgery on 2/7/06 and have had several follow-up appts. as I am having a difficult time with solid foods. I have also had post-op appt. with the nutritionist, which is routine. I plan to attend the post-op support group meeting this month, which they greatly encourage. I would rate Dr. Hill as a 10.....I believe that both surgical competence and bedside manner are both great, especially with Bariatric Surgery, because I really needed someone with compassion, lucky for me, Dr. Hill is not only highly skilled, but also a very understanding person.
