Dr. Melkonian was a absolute joy. Very informative, patient and answered all questions and erased my concerns. Highly recommended!!!
Dr. Lowe was the ulitmate professional. I felt assured of his expertise, but it wasn't cloaked in superiority. He patiently answered all of the questions that DH and I had regarding the surgery and follow-up. He was supportive in my taking this step toward lifetime weight loss. rnrnAt the hospital he continued to be supportive and complimentary of my commitment to the liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I have had no complications.rnrnDr. Lowe is superior. He possesses a great deal of expertise and exudes a quiet, reliable strength!
Dr. Melkonian did a great job. He took good care of me. He came in after the surgery everyday to check on me. He answered all of my questions, even the crazy ones. rnrnI am glad that I chose him to do the surgery. I have already told others about him and a few of them have already called his office to set up an appointment.
I haven't talk to my surgeon face to face in his office, but I met him in one of the seminars he gave about the surgery. It seems that he's very proud of what he does. Very responsible and that he care of what I think or ned to know. Doesn't seem like his doing everything just for the money, instead of helping you out. His office staff are really nice and so far so good. I have my 1srt interview with him tomorrow and I'll let you know how I felt about him a 100%.
It takes a few months to get to actually see Dr. Melkonian but when I met him, I found him to be very warm and caring. My family felt very comfortable with him post op as he answered their questions. His nurse practitioner, Patty is awesome. Carrie was very good when i could finally reach her but my experience with others in the front office was not as good. I am not sure if it was a backlog from the holidays but some of them were downright rude. Would i chose him again, for sure!!!
Dr. V is the best out there in my book! He is a caring doctor with a wonderful personality. I would recommend him to any and everyone considering surgery. The first time I met him I knew that he knew what he was talking about and was all about his patient's health. He has an equally awesome staff that held my hand through the entire process and still calls to check on me. Even the way that they have things set up is organized so that the patient will understand EVERYTHING right from the beginning. There is an informational seminar that one has to attend before even being considered. In this seminar the surgeries are explained and a slideshow presented. Although I had questions and was not sure, I knew after attending that I wanted the lapband. After the seminar things move kinda fast...as everyone knows there are tests, tests and more tests but all worth it. They handle everything in their office and maintain professionalism through the entire procedure. I would not have had my surgery performed by anyone else. If you are considering surgery, consider Dr. V. He really is THE BEST!
