William Johnson Bariatric Surgeon M.D.
He is extremely nice and professional. He gave me a thorough explanation of all of the facts about the surgery and expected outcomes, regarding risks, signs of post-op complications and expected behavioral changes needed to meet my goals. Atlanta Bariatrics has a very well structured pre-op and post-op program, including Nutrition guidance. The surgical Nurses at Emory Johns Creek Hospital spoke very highly of Dr Johnson's surgical skills and his sympathetic manner. I think that is wonderful to find physicians with both traits.
My first impression of Dr. Johnson was that he is compassionate and very professional and pleasant. His office staff is always kind and helpful.rnrnDr. Johnson and the entire staff at Atlanta Bariatrics strongly stress aftercare. The aftercare program is structured and regular.rnThe practice has a monthly educational seminar where all advantages and risks of WLS are discussed.rnrnDr. Johnson took excellent care of me and I give him my highest recommendation.

My first impression of my surgeon was WOW although he appears to be young he really knows what he is talking about. By no means has my impression change about the Doctor and his office staff are a perfect reflection of him and the other Dr. that practice together. They are on top of things and I never once did I feel like my case was not given enough attention. They are simple wonderful and very sweet people. If you want to have a good experience you need to contact the office of Dr. Johnson. First I recommend going to the Seminar so you can get to know them a bit better, the Dr. and Staff are friendly and are ready to answer questions during and especially after the seminar. I know you can go to many Dr. (I know I went to several) but you will quite possibly not find the same treatment any where else. They do offer and emphasize of aftercare, they strongly suggest you go to the group support meetings held once a month so you can stay on track and you can see the Dietician so she can provided you with the guidelines needed to be successful after the surgery. If I had to rate between 1 -10, 1 being least favorable and 10 excellent, I would give them all a 20 hands down. They are GREAT, all in all.

Dr. Johnson should be named \"super surgeon.\" He is awesome. He knows exactly what he is doing and is very skilled. He has the total package, surgical competence and bedside manner plus he is cute. He is in practice with Dr. Christopher Hart at Atlanta Bariatrics. Both are super surgeons. His office is so supportive. This practice is a wonderful place. They take care of their patients through the entire process. Mildred's favortie saying is \"I always tell WLS patients that they need to train for a marathon, not a sprint\" but she will hold your hand the entire time. The only problem I had was they are so busy!!!Because there are a lot of patients, sometimes my chart did not get reviewed as fast as I wanted!!

Dr. Johnson seems very knowledgable about the surgery and was willing to answer all of my questions. He has a good personality and great bedside manner. I'm looking forward to him completing my surgery. He is new to the area and it is hard to find background information on him. Although everyone tells me he is excellent, I would have liked to have a little more information on him as a surgeon.rnrn
