Sentara Comprehensive Weight Loss Solutions Organization

My second consult was just as good as the first. Dr. Fontana has a very likeable attitude. He explains everything to the point. And when you have questions, its like he all ready knows what you are going to ask and answers it for you. Im so glad I chose him.

Dr Loggins is very strict with his patients and so is the rest of his staff, and I think that is a good thing. rnrnThe staff is great and friendly and so helpful that it is amazing. They leave nothing to chance. rnrnAt this point I would recommend Dr Loggins to everyone. It may have been out of my way to travel, but over all I feel I got way more done for me then most of my friends that have had the surgery, I KNOW I was given a ton of information that I am now sharing with friends that had the surgery with different doctors because I was given receipts and exact day by day information for foods after the surgery. rnrnThe nutritionist Corrine is a slave driver (love you Corrine) but had she not been, I dont think I would have worked as hard as I did or doing as well as I am. rnrnThis place is the bomb at least go to a seminar to see the difference. More work, but well worth it.

I met Dr. Fontana at his seminar on Jan. 24th.rnMy first office visit was with him today, February 9th, 2007. He was very thorough in his explanations of the procedure and what to expect. I felt very comfortable with him and his staff. Lola was really nice and so was the young lady that set up my prodedures at Leigh.rnThey were very responsive to my questions and made me feel very relaxed. rnrnDr. Fontana did my endoscopy procedure and I was even more impressed with him. He had a diet coke in his hand and I didn't even see it until he tried to hide it. lol rnThe only thing that i was concerned about was not having enough sedation cuz i heaved uncontrollably when he passed the tubing. Dr. Hornbuckle told me not to worry he would make sure I was good and sedated at the ultrasound.rnrnDr. Fontana performed my lapband procedure. He was very reassuring and caring to me. He wants his patients to succeed and he encourages us to follow the rules. It's not hard. Use the tool.

I am so very impressed with Dr. Loggins and his staff. I went into my first meeting feeling totally down and came out filled with hope about the upcoming changes in my life. rnrnI felt like they truelly cared about me as a person and wanted to help me become the person I am inside.

He is great! Very down to Earth, and really cares about each of his patients. I go for surgery in 3 days, I will update this after my stay at the hospital..

Dr. Fontana, is a quiet, young doctor who I believe is an excellent surgeon. His credentials, experience, and kindness are all reasons I ultimately chose him as my surgeon. rnrnDuring my hospital stay Dr. Fontana visited once daily and monitored my progress with a great deal of attention even coming by the hospital on Saturday evening to remove my drain so that I could go home! (Thanks Dr. Fontana.)rnrnThe Norfolk Surgical Group program/process is very comprehensive (before and after care programs) and at times the before requirements can be very frustrating. It is important to stick with it; the end results are very rewarding!

first impression was great . all the way through the program. Dr Loggins staff is great.

I had my RYN surgery from NSG-DR BoustanyrnMay 22, 2007 at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. The surgey went great with no problems. The staff has been going there training classes, so they understand more and more what the surgery and process is. The staff was great the whole time I was there always giving positive words. They do encourage you to walk as much as possible, which is in your best interest. I also saw two other docs from NSG and they where very friendly , caring and always had time for me to ask questions. Jeanne at norfolk General Hospital is great, very caring, friendly, and genuinely concerned about your welfare. I only have postive things to say about them. rnThe office staff at NSG- Dr Boustany nurse Shan I believe is her name, She has always been pleasant and on time with me. The rest of the staff the same, always pleasant and returned my calls in a timely manner when I have called them. I have and will contuine to refer people to the practice/ Boustany. rn

Dr. Fontana was very impressive from the moment I met him at a Lap-Band seminar. He was very thorough and I was glad to hear that he had been performing the surgery for over ten years. Each time I go to his office, he's very pleasant and doesn't \"rush\" me like some dr's have the tendency to do. He answers any questions I may have and I'm very confident about having him as my surgeon.

My first vist was on April 13th, 2007. I was seen by Dr. Loggins and his whole staff one by one. They all had different aspects of the surgery to talk about. The thing that inpressed me most about him was that a couple of weeks after my appointment I called with a question and Dr. Loggins himself called back with an answer. I thought that was unusual because every where else I've been, the nurse makes the callbacks. The office staff were very nice and prompt. I only waited about 5 minutes to get called in. There was a new patient seminar the beggining of May that lasted 2 hours and Dr Loggins and his team were there the whole time to answer any questions that came up. Corrine, the dietition, gave a 3 hour class on nutrition that was the best I've ever been to. I came out of it with knowing things I never knew. rn
