My surgeon was a colleague of DR Leport but worked under a Dr Leport and Dr Leport was present at my surgery. At first I seemed with my choice. I did reaeach on his group and thought I made a well informed decision. But it was one of the worst decisions I made. I had complications after my roux en y open from the start. Dr Leport took over my care right away. At first I felt he was trying to find answers but the longer the time of complications the less help was given to me. I got the impression that he felt I was a mar on his reputation and I started getting shotty medical care. I had to go out and find another bariatric doctor that could possibly help. More time more traveling more tests. I stopped going to Dr Leports office because I was just a body and treated like commodity which is how I feel about him and his office. I was just a bottom dollar and that money was god and the patient was the spirit whom had no rights or say about their care. The patient with complications will soon find out with their office that your care will be put on the back burner and allowed to scortch. Just be aware that this is my expeience with their office. Make sure you do your reersearch speak to others whom went to that doctor and try to make the decision that is best for you.

First impression of Dr LePort was good, he seemed like a person who cares about his patients. rnMy impression never changed, his office staff are pleasant and caring. rnHe has many year of expeirence as by researching you will find out for youself.rnHe addresses all areas and risks of surgery and explains everything involved. rnDr LePort was great, after surgery and during the time I was in ICU he came to see me 5 times and explained what was going on with me body.

At first i thought Dr.Leport was rude because i felt rushed but then i realized that he must be a very busy man. After my surgery, he would come into the hospital room every day to check up on me. I felt more comfortable with him and felt ok to ask him any question. I liked that he would take his time and answer everything. His staff was wonderful too. They made me feel comfortable all the time. I've seen him about 3 times since my surgery and he's been very caring. I'm glad i chose him to perform my surgery.

I can best decribe him as confident without being arrogant, friendly. rnI still like him. I also feel safe and well cared for by him and his office.rnHis program is very comprehensive. You may not see him until all your ducks are in a row, but his support staff and groups make their process efficiant and informative.rnThe after care appreas to be conprehensive. I'm just out of the hospital.rnI was WELL informed about everything. In fact, their was lots of overlap and repeating of important.rnA+rnEverything has been great.

Dr. LePort, was chosen for me by my insurance company, so I had very little (nothing) to say about the selection of my surgeon. However, I did research both him and his group (Smart Dimensions) and were impressed with their experiance, credentials, and sucess.rnrnThe offices are small and crowded, but they do move people through pretty quickly.rnrnDr. LePort, only saw me once prior to my surgery date and was very direct and to the point. Compassion and small talk are not his strong point, however he is very detailed oriented and makes sure he stress all of the don'ts after surgery.rnrnOverall I could not be happier.
