AdventHealth Bariatric Surgery & Metabolic Medicine at Celebration Hospital

My first impression of Dr. Smith was that he was very quiet, but extremely knowledgeable regarding WLS. I immediately felt at ease with him. He explains every procedure outlying the pros and cons of each. Then, recommends a procedure that he feels would be best. I definitely have the utmost confidence in him.

Dr. Smith is excellent. I would highly recommend him. He is so dedicated and highly skilled. I have nothing but praise for this man. Aftercare is extremely important. All patients are expected to see him annually after surgery and more frequently during the first year. He also has a monthly support group and an on-line support group.

I would like to take the time to express my respect for Dr. Dennis Smith and his Staff. He spoke to me regarding me First as a human being that would help him to make the Best decisiions regarding my mental and physical condition. His Staff was very courteous and understanding and I do not feel as if I am on an assembly line.

Dr. Smith is great, he make you feel comfortable. His staff is wonderful. My first impression was that he was quite but confident. As time went on and I asked many many questions He talked more. He is concerned with all phases of the procedure from beginning to end and especially aftercare. His surgical competence and bedside manner are number 1.

My initial impression of Dr. Smith is that he was very calming. He has a very soothing voice. He apparently knows what he's doing and has confidence about whatever you decide upon. We discussed the DS which I had already decided upon before coming to him; and some alternatives to the standard surgery and he was more than willing to accomodate. Some surgeons are "my way or no way". He makes you watch an informative video on all the surgeries he preforms and their risks. So if you didn't know when you got their you know when you leave what your in for. So overall he gets an A in my book. He must, because I'm traveling 5 hours to use him when I have a doctor here where I live that is very accredited.

Dr. Smith is quiet but very nice. I wouldn't have trusted my life with anyone else. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Smith is a low-key, pleasant man who is very reassuring and informative. My husband was extremely unsure about me having bariatric surgery and Dr. Smith answered every question both of us had - even the questions that were not so positive is nature. I highly recommend him for his track record in bariatric surgery as well as his professional, caring manner.

I had a really positive first impression of Dr. Smith. He was very nice and informative. I felt like he was really concerned with my health and answered all of my questions. His staff seemed really nice and ready to help out in anyway they could. There was not anything thus far that I can honestly say that I dislike about Dr. Smith or his staff. He really emphasizes aftercare and that was very important to me.

I had consult with Dr. Smith at the end of Februaury on a snowy Georgia day. Since I was coming from out of state they were very accomodating. I met with him on Thursday afternoon and watched the video and stayed for consult. He is very quiet, but easy to talk to. He reviewed infor from video and answered all my questions. I didn't have alot of questions since I had done so much research before hand, but I am pleased with his reputation and feel confident I made the right choice for a surgeon. He really emphasizes aftercare and since I am in SC I will have to find a good support group here.

Ok Now I have switched surgeons. I was skeptical about this but I was referred to him so I gave it a shot. Dr. Smith was very nice. He answered all of my questions and made sure that I had picked the right surgical procedure. He does emphasize aftercare. That is very important. He made me watch a video and that was very informative. Dr. Smith does also have a structured aftercare program. He did address the risks of surgery and the risks of not having the surgery. I had originally planned to have all of my follow up done by a surgeon alot closer to home but after meeting Dr. Smith and all of his staff I don't want to switch back to my original surgery. I would rate him wonderful. He seems very competent and knowledeable about performing this surgery. I love him and his staff they are all absolutely wonderful.
