First impression of Dr. Enochs and his staff was incredible. Each one of them explained their role in detail and told me how they would assist as we go through the process. Dr. Enochs spent plenty of time with me reviewing my options. I feel confident in Dr. Enochs.
Update post op: Dr. Enochs and his staff are the best.

Dr. Enochs, is a amazing physian. the ONLY complaint i would have would be their answering service. they do not act in a quick manner.
Dr. Enochs, is very direct, compassionate, and truly makes you feel as if you count! There were never any questions I had he did not answer and he treats you as a person not a paitnet.
his office staff (excluding the answeirng service) are amazing. THey are all friendly and very quick on getting things taken care of.
I do not reqret using Dr. Enouchs and would referr anyone to see him.

I chose Dr. Enochs to be my surgeon because he was very highly recommended by my other doctors. Even the professionals I met at the hospital spoke very highly of him. Besides being a great surgeon, he is a very nice person. I also came to know that Dr. Enochs's rate of complications is way below the national average. His office staff, however are another story. My calls were never returned. I got a call from my insurance company advising me that my surgery had been approved, where the office staff had no idea till a week later! The last time I was at the doctors office, I was in the waiting room 2 hours before i was seen. I wouldn't go back if it wasn't for Dr. Enochs. He never makes you feel rushed. He is very patient and answers all your questions. He has a very gentle bedside manner. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have WLS.
Dr. Enochs is an excellent Dr. He is patient and he listens and he is friendly, plus he is a beautiful looking man :).
His office staff on the other hand is terrible. It is like pulling teeth to get responses from these people. I had to call and call and call and make surprise in person visits to the office to follow-up on what information they still needed before they submitted to insurance. They never return phone calls no many how many times you leave a message. They claimed they were going to get my medical records from all my PCPs but they didn't, and worse they didn't notify me that they were still waiting for that. Then I had to be extremely assertive to get them to submit to insurance and schedule my clinical results visit in a timely fashion. And they have this that they can't do the clinical results visit until after they get approval from the insurance company which seems fine in theory but then when I went to the clinical results visit, I found out I needed to have my gall bladder out first, which I wish they would have told me way ahead of time when they first got the results because as it turned out last year I could have had my lap band surgery completely free because I had met all of my out of pocket maximums last year. If they had told me earlier I could have had my gall bladder out while I was waiting to hear back from the insurance company about the surgery and then gotten my lap band done in December. That really pissed me off.
I like Dr. Enochs but his staff is just not good. Also, word to the wise if you are scheduled for an appt. make sure you anticipate staying there for 3 hours it takes a long long time to see Dr. Enochs because he is patient with every patient (not complaining, I'm just giving some friendly advice).
Heard nothing but good and kind things about this surgeon. I had surgery on January 15, 2010 with Dr.Enoch. Did not get to see him until after surgery was over. But he did a great job. I had a hernia removed alone with SILS. Everything went well.rnrnDr.Enochs staff is not people persons. In other words they can be rude, unorganized.I can never get to speak to direct staff when I call, have to hold for 10 min or longer and listen to this loud music in my ear. And then they might get back to you, and they might not.This is an answering service for the office. It is terrible. They may return your call and may not .Very unprofessional, talking in a rush. not taking time for the patient. Not friendly at all.
He had / has great bedside manner ! Never been judgemental, very compassionate !rnThe entire office staff is great and remain to be very supportive, even 2-years post-op. They still review diet and exercise, protein & carb info at every visit and continue to encourage and suggest changes to continue or to reboost weight loss. Would trust him to perform future surgeries or revisions, if he thought I needed them. He is very competent and I trust what he says, as well as his N.P. They are very concerned with my mental and physical health ! They are very supportive !rn
My first impression of Dr. Enochs, was he is a very kind and gentle man. rnMy impression has not changed over time, I still feel he is very kind, gentle, and understanding.rnHis office staff, are all the same way, kind, gentle, and understanding, and very helpful.rnHis emphasizes on after care is very intense. He encouraged me to go to groups meetings, online support, and to get to know other like patience.rnYes there are group meetings on the 4th Thursday of each month at Rex Hospital.rnYes he fully explained all the advantages, and disavantages of a Gastric Bypass surgery, He was very forth coming with all information.rnI would put Dr. Paul Enochs (on a scale of 1-10) absoulty a 10!rnOf course surgical competence must be a first, then a bedside manner, but Dr. Paul Enochs has both.. a great plus.
