NMMC Bariatric Clinic and Center Hospital
The North Mississippi Bariatric Clinic is great. The entire staff was wonderful but Dr Pinson was an incredible inspiration to the decision making process and support so far.
Dr. Pinson is awesome. He makes you feel at ease when you talk with him. The staff is absolutely wonderful. Everyone is interested in helping you and making you feel as comfortable as possible.
I have the most wonderful and supportive surgeon in the WORLD! He's awesome! Would def rate him a 10 and recommend him to anyone! All of his staff are equally great!
I immediately loved by surgeon. He has a passion to help patient that have genuinly tried to lose weight without sucess. He really believe obesity is a genetic disease. My impression has only grown better over time. He devote his time and effort in making sure his patient have the best possible outcomes. His office staff was very friendly and helpful except the financial group. They did not feel the urgency that I felt they needed to persue my insurance.
I can't ask for a better doctor. However, he is always optomistic and upbeat. He hates any negative or bad outcomes and blames himself when thing do not go as planned. I think his positive attitude overshadows any negativity he may have. He sits down and talk with you in detail about the surgery and follow ups. He does not have a very structured aftercare program. I think this is mostly because he is partnered with a group of other physician that do not do any WLS. However, he works closely with the hospital dietitician and support group leader. He has a film and a printed booklet that goes over the aspects of surgery and risks related to it. I would rate him a 9 on a 1-10 scale. He is all around great guy. He has great surgical outcomes and all of his patients love him. He has since stopped doing any WLS due to administrative and insurance problems. This has created a very uncomfotable situation for him and his potential pts. He now has to refer any patients seeking WLS to another facility.
I was very nervous at first about the surgery since a girl from my hometown had died from having it done open. Dr. Pinson was extremely helpful with any questions that i had and wanted to make sure that I knew that the WLS was just a tool not the solution. I am four days post op now and am feeling really good just a little bit of pain, my surgery was done lap. A great nurse, Dana, said I had inspired her to check this out has already requested a packet from Dr. Pinson. I've been informed about all the vitamins I'll need to take for the rest of my life and I'm really looking forward to feeling great and looking great. Would suggest Dr. Pinson to anyone he does and great job and really cares about his patients.
