Medical Center Hospital Hospital
Dr. Davenport is my surgeon and I, for one, think he is the best Doctor I have ever been to. I was anxious about the surgery, he calmed me with his knowledge and skill and took direct care with me answering all my questions honestly and truthfully ( even the pain questions )His compassion is unending. His dedication to the health of each and every patient is of the higest regard. I could go on and on about this great Doctor, but I won't because it would take more space than I have here. He said he would see me directly after I woke up after surgery and he was the first person I saw when I woke up. That above all impressed me to no end. I will forever say he is the best that you can have as a Bariatric Surgeon. He and his team are the greatest, and if anyone is coming to Odessa, Texas or lives here already and wants this type of surgery, Dr. Davenport and his team is the team to see and take care of you.
God Bless Dr. Davenport.
Dr. Glass is absolutely amazing! He makes sure you know exactly what you're getting yourself into before surgery. He thoroughly explains the risks and the expected outcomes - there are no surprises! He has high expectations and makes sure you know what you need to do in order to meet your goals. I didn't have a single complication with my surgery. I was out of bed and walking the halls only a few hours out of recovery, and the whole next day he made sure I was up and moving around. His staff is just as great. Kristin (the nutritionist) is always available for questions. I can send an email to her at 3am with a question about something and I'll generally have a response back by 7 or 8am that morning. It's such a good feeling knowing you're working with such a friendly and all around competent team of people. The *only* thing I would change would be the time it takes in the waiting room for appointments. Although it may be average, sometimes it seems to be a little long. But hey, good quality service is worth the extra wait!
On my 1st visit to meet Dr. Glass, he was sick, with a terrible cold, so he did not want to get real close to me, which was fine with me. He went over many with me, and decided that I would have to have an open RNY because of my previous nissan's. I figured that would be the case, althought it scares me. I thought he was fine, hard to form an opinion on someone after 10 minites, will update more when I meet with him again. His nurse Gerry was very friendly and nice to me.
He is a great guy he makes sure you understand everything and he takes the time to answer any questions you have. I love his staff Kristin (the Nut) is awesome she goes above and beyond for the patients!! The nurses are great too. Aftercare is as important and the pre op stuff if not more!! They have support groups and a strict plan to follow and they are always available for questions and assistance!! He is very upfront about the risk but he also gives you the percentages and lets you know what that means!! I would have to say Dr. Glass is top notch first class doctor!! Both are great but if i had to chose i would rather have surgical competence!!!
****Dr.Glass (or Papa G as some of his patients call him) is AWESOME!!! he has geat bed side manners and treats you like you are his only concern (even if you aren't)!!!
My first impression of Dr. Glass was that he was going to be my ticket to a new lifestyle. I would say that every staff member in his office is extremely sensetive to the journey we are going through. Dr. Glass is really strict about you taking this journey seriously and following his suggestions to ensure that you are successful. I really think that he cares about all his patients like they were his family. We are all one big family.
My first impression of Dr Glass was that he was very forward and to the point, Very knowledgeable and I really liked that about him. I went in wanting the lap band and came out going for the gusto because I was that comfortable with him about the whole procedure. The office staff was wonderful especially the dietician. I have recommended Dr Glass to several people and they have gone to him and have agreed with me about his personality and his beside manner. He came to see me everyday during my stay. He explained everything in depth and just made me feel very safe about having the surgery. His whole attitude was what I was looking for after going to several other doctors that did this procedure.
So far so good. I have only met him in person 2 times for about 15 min. each. He seems very thorough and direct. I can update more as time goes by.rnNow that I've had my surgery...all went fine, he stopped in to see me prior to just going into surgery, thought that was comforting. Saw him the next day, he was actually come to see me in my room but I was up for a walk and ran into him in the hall way...he was happy I was active!! Told me all went great and he expected no problems. I felt at ease with his assurance and confidence. rn12/13.................I had a slight complication, just an irritated esophagus and pouch I guess....Dr. Glass ran all the tests to make sure nothing major was going on, did everything he could to re-assure me and make things good for me. He had seen me 3 times in just a few days and still set another appt. to just check up on me next week to make sure things are healing up. His after care has really made me feel in good hands.
