Dr. Atkinson/Dr. Soong, Las Vegas, NV???

There is very limited posting in the regional board, so I thought I would post here to see if anyone else is a pt of Dr. Atkinson or Dr. Soong at SWCC in Las Vegas. It can never hurt to be armed with more information going into my procedure!

Dr. Soong did my surgery in July, 2009. I was very happy with the surgery, after care and now my fills. Please contact me if you have specific questions, I will happily be honest with you about everything. Overall, I don't think you could find a better doctor.

Thanks, Raych. My surgery will be performed by Dr. Atkinson at Desert Springs. Was your surgery there, and how did you like the hospital?

Dr. Soong also did my lap band surgery in December 2009. No complications and has a great staff. If you have any questions or concerns let me know. Will be happy to talk to you anytime

Dr. Soong did my band in March 2010. Very happy customer! Did get it done at Desert Springs and they were all really nice there.

My only complaint was that my surgery was scheduled for 9am and I didn't get in until about 3pm. Otherwise, it was all good. Just bring a book or something to keep you occupied while you wait. Since it's a one-day surgery it was fine. Good luck.

Did you still get to go home that night? I'm not scheduled to arrive until 10, surgery within 1-2 hours of that. :/

Yep, got home about 6. I think they only do surgery one or two days per week so they schedule quite a few. Just be patient.
