I was hesitant at first but when he sat down with me and we talked I felt better. The Lite Dimensions Weight Loss center did everything they could to make me feel as comfortable as possible. I would recommend him to anyone who wants this surgery cause he is very skilled and his staff are very helpful. I was also impressed with the hospital due to the fact that the staff and nurses who are there are specialized in all matters of obesity due to the dedicated wing of the hospital that they have set aside for patients going through the Lite Dimensions Weight Loss center. The beds, gowns, chairs and food are designed for those who are obese and they make it very comfortable for those of us who are overweight. Both the surgical competence and the bedside manner are great. I would rate them an 11+ on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being poor and 10 being outstanding. I can not find anything negative to say about them cause they took really good care of me.
He's a very gentle, quite man. He very blunt and honest, but I like that; I dont need anyone not telling me the truth about the side effects of surgery. I like him!!
The staff was wonderful for the most part. My daytime nurse Ava and daytime CNA Rosie were both wonderful. I was by myself for the surgery and felt quite alone until Ava showed up. She truly was the bright spot of my stay. The hospital in my opinion needs to review and improve it's patients accommodations. The rooms look like they came from a Holiday Inn Circa 1989.
Dr. LePort and his staff were so wonderful to me. They helped me jump through the neccessary hoops to get approval from my insurance company, were in contact with me all of the time, and Dr. LePort himself is such a wonderful man! His office is very, very busy but he is totally worth the wait!My surgery went excellent, I was in the hospital only for the day, the diet plan they gave me was fully explained and easy to follow, and even though there were other doctors in his practice I ALWAYS saw Dr. LePort. He also did an impecible job with my surgery, my scarring is very minimal and after six months of surgery are hardly noticed.
Dr. LePort is #1 in my book!!! I'm 4 year's out and Dr. LePort and his staff are still very supportive and caring. My first impression wasn't so hot. My husband and I both felt as though we were part of a herd of cattle going thru a processes and were a little skeptical. I gave myself a year to make my final decision. After the initial information meeting, all the other meetings proved instrumental to my success. The nutritional meetings gave me foundation and the nutritionists encouraged me contact them if I had questions. The support groups are outstanding. Every meeting gave me support while making my decision and after surgery I not only got support but gave support. Back to Dr. LePort. He answers your questions and cares. His staff always returns calls and will be there to listen if you are concerned about something. Thank you Dr. LePort and his staff. You're the BEST!!!
I have been a patient of Dr. LePort for over a year now. My opinion of him remains the same - this is a wonderful and caring doctor. His professionalism, engaged and caring attitude and overall ability reinforce that I made a good decision in choosing him. I see him for my checkups. On the few occasions I have had to see one of the PA's he makes it a point to at least pop in and see me. I feel comfortable asking any question and he encourages his patients to ask, ask, ask. He wants you to be informed and educated about your proceedure. The entire office staff and support medical staff are also exceptionally friendly.
My surgeon was a colleague of DR Leport but worked under a Dr Leport and Dr Leport was present at my surgery. At first I seemed with my choice. I did reaeach on his group and thought I made a well informed decision. But it was one of the worst decisions I made. I had complications after my roux en y open from the start. Dr Leport took over my care right away. At first I felt he was trying to find answers but the longer the time of complications the less help was given to me. I got the impression that he felt I was a mar on his reputation and I started getting shotty medical care. I had to go out and find another bariatric doctor that could possibly help. More time more traveling more tests. I stopped going to Dr Leports office because I was just a body and treated like commodity which is how I feel about him and his office. I was just a bottom dollar and that money was god and the patient was the spirit whom had no rights or say about their care. The patient with complications will soon find out with their office that your care will be put on the back burner and allowed to scortch. Just be aware that this is my expeience with their office. Make sure you do your reersearch speak to others whom went to that doctor and try to make the decision that is best for you.
