Methodist Hospital Arcadia Hospital

I was treated very well there as was my family. The staff are expert in the care of WLS patients.

I can't say enough about the staff at the hospital, they were really just awesome. It was clean and well staffed and everyone was friendly and attentive.

He is an absolute sweet man. At first site you are taken by his height, he is very tall. But he is a very patient, compassionate and understanding doctor. He examines you very profoundly. He diagnosed me with a murmur and although I had one as a baby no other doctor had ever mentioned it again in all of my 25 years, until Dr. Lamar. He is also very thorough and wants to make sure that his patients know everything there is to know. Then there is his staff which I absolutely adore, they are very caring and accomodating, they are absolutely the best. I have never met such a great staff. Linda the Bariatric Coordinator is just wonderful as well. She would go to great lengths to accomodate you and make sure you are doing great. I have to say this is the best medical staff I have ever encountered. There isnt a number high enough to rate them.

I would go to this hospital first before going to the one in my home town. it's the BEST!

My first impression of Dr LaMar, as with most people who see him, is that he is very tall and skinny. But after meeting him, I realized what a nice and personal guy he was. He had performed surgery on two other people I knew so I was very confident in him. I would recommend him and his team to anyone considering WLS.

Always a happy patient after my stays there.

I loved this hospital. Everyone was very nice. They kept the bariatric patients together on one wing. My roomate and I were able to share experiences and tips on how to succeed as weight loss post-op. My doctors perform exclusively through this hospital and are wonderful. They brought us flowers after the surgery. (HOW SWEET IS THAT?) I enjoyed my stay at this hospital. I did feelt that one of my nurses was less than satisfactory, but everyone else was so wonderful that it made up for her inabilities.

My first impression of Dr. LaMar was a good one. He is very tall and soft spoken. He came across as very confident. He does not automatically jump out as being extremely personable, but over time I have enjoyed his encouraging words and smiles. His office staff is pleasant, and I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes before being brought inside. Heidi, the insurance coordinator, is knowledgeable and helpful and I did not feel in any way that I was ever being brushed aside, or that any question was too dumb. I would very much suggest using Dr. LaMar for gastric bypass surgery.

I first met Dr. LaMar at his seminar. I was told he was tall but when I saw him, I was amazed because I didn't think he would be that tall. During the seminar he was very nice and answered everyones questions. During my consult he explained the surgery to me in detail, was very patient and answered all my questions. I'm so happy I was referred to him.

this is the best choice in hospitals i would highly reccomend this hospital .... great people and large wheelchairs... sensitive people makes you feel like a queen when your in pain
