<p align="left">I loved Dr. Currie from the first time we met. I knew I had made the right decision and picked the right surgeon. He has changed my whole life. I could never thank him enough for the life he's given back to me. I saw him at my 6 month post op just by coincidence. I gave him a big hug and cried like a baby! He is one step under God in my eyes, a true miracle worker. I've lost 105 pounds in 8 months. I wear a size 12!! My prom dress was a size 20 and I was a size 26 at the time of my surgery if that gives you any indication of how dramatically this man has changed me. This surgery has taken YEARS of weight off of my body. There are no words in the English language that can express the awe and gratitude that I have for Dr. Currie. He's the best there is.
My first opinion of Dr. Currie is that he was very kind and careing. I work with a surgeron who did residency so we had something in common. He explained to procedure in detail, went over risks of the procedure and answered any questions. However, when he did my EGD I was less than impressed and have considered choosing a new surgeon even if it means going out of the area. Hopefully he was just having an off day, this impression was very diffrent from everything I have heard about him. If I was not so far into the process it would possibly be easier to switch surgeons. Still considering but I already have a surgery date....Keep you posted.
His office staff is wonderful and have been very informative. The dietians on staff are wonderful and always so very kind and understanding.
I would prefer a good surgeon with bad bedside manner to a so so surgeon with great bedside manner.
My fist impression of Dr.Currie was that he is very caring and compassionate.
It didn't he is a wonderful Dr.

Nothing
He is very nice and has a great bedside manner.
He is very focused on the aftercare.
Yes
Came right out and told me. Asked if I had any questions and helped me get over being scared.
Both and Dr.Currie has both.
I met with Dr. Currie on 3/12/04 and he was very to the point and answered all the questions I had. He didn't rush me to get to other appts. (Like everyone has said, he was running behind schedule, but took all the time that was needed with me). I feel confident in his knowledge and capablities to perform the surgery.
I had my consultation with Dr. Currie. I was very impressed with him. He wasn't in a hurry and answered my large list of questions. I felt very comfortable with him as soon as he walked into the office. He was very warm and explained everything we complete confidence. By his personality and concerned manner, I feel he will have a wonderful bedside manner!!!!!! We will be submitting for insurance approval early next week. Please pray this is a speedy process. Dr. Currie is also having me have some tests done to see how severe my heart murmur is and if there are any other issues we need to be concerned about. I see my PCP on 1-13 who will order the tests for me. I'm anxiously awaiting approval!!!!
Again, I thank God everyday for a wonderful Doctor like Dr. Currie, he's wonderful, personable and gentle.
DR. CURRIE - HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU :)
I met Dr. Currie during my 3rd visit. I already knew a lot about the surgery before meeting with Dr. Currie but it was nice to go over things with him and confirm what I had already learned. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made me feel at ease about the procedure. He explained all the complications that can occur and how they deal with them. There wasn't anything about Dr. Currie I did not like. He also discussed support groups and encouraged me to get involved. There is a nutritionist you get to see before and I believe after your surgery to help.
Dr. Currie is very personable. He attends almost all the support groups. I find that very reassuring. He was very thorough in his explanation of the surgery. He not only answered my questions but was happy to answer my husband's questions as well. I did not feel in the least bit rushed by him.
The office staff is very nice, however sometimes they are overwhelmed. Steve the office manager is very nice and caring and is working hard to improve office/patient relationships. I find that commendable. Most offices don't really care what goes on "up front" I think both Dr. Currie and Dr. DiMarco care very much about their patients.
I do think that the office staff is not as supportive to people who do not do as they are told, or who do not seem to want to work hard at this new way of life. It is a very busy office and I think they just can't afford to take the time with people who don't listen.
I will come back and update after I have my surgery.
