William Chapman Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr Chapman is a great Surgeon. He is very knowledgeable in his field. His office staff has grown due to his growing clientele and it seemed to me that the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing most of the time.
Due to his growing caseload, he's a very busy man and I had been warned that I needed to make a list of questions when I thought of them because he is in and out in a flash for the office visits...man, were they spot on with that assessment.
He said time and time again: "If you do everything I tell you to do, you will succeed"
He also told me of the risks of this surgery and how they compared to other surgeries.
I saw him briefly about an hour before surgery and not again until my follow up apt 2 1/2 weeks later, but the staff was great at answering my questions of diet and medications after the surgery when I called.
I would recommend him to others but just warn them to be their own advocate...his nutritionist and psych professionals (and I use that term extremely loosely) leave oh so much to be desired.

Dr Chapman did my Nissen about 12 years ago and then gastric bypass 3 years ago. Both surgeries were 100% sucessful. He is a fantastic doctor, my all time favorite surgeon. I would put my trust in him again any day. He is awesome at what he does, super knowledgeable and always up front with the facts.

I love Dr. Chapman so far. He's very blunt which is what I need. My surgery is coming up so I will update after that.

Dr. Chapman is a very busy guy, but cares about his patients. He was instrumental in helping me decide what surgery was best for me, but told me I will do what you want. My goal was to eliminate diabetes (which is on both sides of my family) and he said, if you were my sister, I would tell you that the RNY would be the best for you.

Surgery went without a hitch. Results have been as expected.

I have the best surgeon, I could ask for. He really cares for his patients. I was not a quantity, but I was of quality.

Dr, Chapman, was /is a true blessing to me and my life, He has helped me save my life. Dr. Chapman comes highly recommended at PCMH, His office is located at 517 Moye Blvd, Greenville, NC. Dr. Chapman's staff are truly the nicest group of angels I have ever met, They made me feel very comfortable while I was in the office, as well as on the phone. Dr. Chapman waited very patiently for me as I was in the prep area, He even came down to the prep area to check on me to make sure that I was ok, and to let me know he was waiting for me. After surgery Dr. Chapman came back to see me quite often, (very impressive) He signed my bariatric pillow before I left the hospital with a very encouraging message from Dr. Chapman.

What future patients should know about Dr. Chapman is he is very compassionate, very friendly, loyal, highly educated, high recommended, and GOD SENT!!!!, Dr. Chapman has a very structured plan of care before and after sugery, His program is great, yet very intense, and you must be willing to follow the plan of care in order to get the results you want. Dr. Chapman has been very honest with me from beginning to end, he explained the risk of surgery from beginning to end. On a scale of 1-10, I would give Dr. Chapman 100++++++++++ His bedside manners, and table side manners where very professional, and personal (awesome)

Dr. Chapman was the only doctor I wanted to do my RNY! He has a reputation for having clean surgeries that have little negative side effects. He is well known in the medical community and is highly respected.

He is very confident in his abilities and that lends itself to a high level of comfort for his patients. He is very willing to answer your question, draw pictures, quote statistics, give you web sites to look things up on, and over all comes across concerned. He is upbeat, and never sems overwhelmed.

His office staff are fast and do not make you wait hours on end. You are seen at your appointment time and waiting time is minimal. I love that. They make sure you have everything lined up and are prepared for whatever is coming next. Post op, they make sure you lab values are in good standing and are great educators. They answer your questions with great knowledge. They want you to do well. They return calls quickly. Your post op appointments are made prior to surgery.

I have had a great experience with Dr. Chapman and his team. There has been no bumps in the road! Seamless!

Here is my personal experience with my surgeon. If you choose him, your experience may be different. This review is only my personal opinion.

Dr. Chapman is a very skilled surgeon. He is very nice and extremely sensitive to your needs. He is tough, though and he wants you to be sure that you understand his program. He does not really compromise on that front.

Aftercare so far has been great! The staff is responsive and will call as soon as possible (many times within 2 hours) if you have a question, no matter how trivial you may think it is! The best part for me has been no co-pays for 90 days post-op! That saves me loads of money...

If you choose Dr. Chapman, there will be lots of paperwork for you to sign, so you know what you are getting into (as much as you can know before surgery).

So far I would rate him an A+ for surgical competence and an A for bedside manner. He is in and out so fast, you have to have your questions ready! He will stay to answer them, though, no matter how many you may have.

I am very happy with my surgeon choice.

Had a great Surgeon in Dr. Chapman my surgery was the 3rd of march. I spent two days in the Hospital to assure everything was good. Dr. Chapman has a wonderful staff working for him I never felt alone in this whole thing and I have always had great respect for Dr. Chapman's skills. I would suggest Dr. Chapman and his staff to anyone debating about this surgery they will be with you every step of the way.....

I had a fantastic first impression of Dr. Chapman when I met him earlier this week. He took the time to answer all my questions and explained the differences in the surgeries he offers. He eased my fears and made me feel truely confident that I am in the right hands for surgery. He informed me that aftercare for a lap band is a 24 month commitment plus follow ups. The staff was friendly, patient, efficient, and helpful. I would give him a perfect 10 and if you include the staff it jumps to a 20!
