My surgeon, Dr. Jones, is not only a knowlegeable and excellent WLS surgeon, but he is also a very caring individual. From my very first meeting with him, my impression of him has not changed. I look forward to his continued aftercare. His surgical competence and bedside manner is of worthy notice. He will take the time to explain anything you do not understand. He is never in a hurry and will give you as much time as you need. To some, this may be annoying as it sometimes means longer waiting at appointments; but I think that in our fast-paced society, time is a service that is too oftened ignored. His staff is very thorough, friendly and helpful. They explain every thing they are going to do before doing it as well as carefully making sure you understand the entire process of this surgery - both good and risky. He is very upfront about any risks and he utilizes every precaution to minimize the risks. He is highly respected by those around him - wherever I went someone or someone close to them had him as their Dr. and they would say, "Oh he is so good." and then they always had only good things to say about him. By the time the day came for my surgery, I felt so confident in him. His aftercare is very structured; almost monthly visits with blood tests every 3 months for the first year. There was nothing I could like least about him - I would get him again and again. Overall, on a scale of 1 - 10, I would give him a 10.
He has had alot of experience preforming weight loss surgery. I found him to be very down to earth. He was happy to answer any of my questions. I feel extreamly confident about having him do my lap-band surgery next week.
The program at Park Nicolett Clinic (Meadowbrook) in St Louis Park, Mn. is very through. You go thru alot of meetings with professionals. Nurse, dietician, psychologist, physical therpist, Medical Dr,
and Surgeon.
I would rate their bariatric program excellent.

JONES IS A EXCELLENT AND COMPETENT SURGEON. BOTH ARE BETTER AND HE HAS IT.
Dr. Jones has been very informative and made sure I knew all the risks before proceeding. My first impression and my continued impression is that he is a wonderfuly, caring physician and I would definitely recommend him. His staff is very helpful and have been very supportive. Park Nicollet Clinic has a good aftercare program and I will continue to check in with them for the rest of my life to help keep me on track. On a scale of 1-10 I would say that Park Nicollet and Dr. Jones and his staff are definitely a 10. His bedside manner and surgical competence are both great.
Dr. Jones came with high praise from everyone I talked to. I was very impressed by him. He took alot of time to answer my questions and didn't seemed rushed at all. Very personable and I feel so much better now, after having met him. I feel lucky to have him as a surgeon. Covered everything in detail and was very honest and sincere.
I felt comfortable with Dr. Jones right away, he is a very personable man and made me feel at ease. All of the office staff are awesome with some of the best nurses around.
Aftercare is stressed from the first informational meeting as it is one of the most useful tools to being successful.

I am back and looking into every Dr I can find, Hope to find one soon.
I went to the informational meeting for the Group of Drs at Park Nicollet and there are 4 Drs there, I am hoping that I will get Dr Jones or Dr Svendsen. I got Dr Jones.

I had a consult at Dr. Drew's office today and was very pleased with the information that was provided and happier to know that he and Dr. Schwartz are both able to perform the lap procedure. The session was 2 hrs and the RN Judy Schwartz was very open to any questions and put my mind at ease about alot of things, including the insurance issue. I hate that I did not get to meet either Dr. Drew or Dr. Schwartz but I hope to meet then soon when my approval comes in.
Dr Schwartz was great and so was his RN Judy, they helped me so much and did everything they could but I ran into a lot of other problems so I will have to find another Dr when I move to TX.

Tom Jones is a down to earth, professional doctor.
All of his nurses are patient, kind and understanding.
I would highly recommend this team to anyone!
My first impression of Dr.Tom Jones was that he was a funny, and very caring doctor. He is absolutely the best out there. He did a great job and has a wonderful bed side manner.
