I didn't get my surgery done by him but, seeing as I moved to a new state, he is looking after me...or so I assumed.

His office staff is lack, they take forever to send a fax or make an appointment.

The doctor himself never has a sense of caring or urgency and he always sounds annoyed with his patients.

I've been bleeding from my rectum since February and he hasn't done a thing about it.

So I encourage you to NOT go to him if you're in the Pensacola area.

I almost used him but the staff like you said weren't caring at all! I'm so glad I didn't go to him now for sure! If you live in Pcola,Mobile isn't that far and I use Dr Dusty Smith with Mobile Surgical Association! I love her! She actually teared with me when I went back to my 1 week post op after losing 24lbs! Tears of happiness of course!!

I'm still in the process of finding one.

I had a good experience with Doctor Lord but I started the process with him.

Dr. Gatmatain at Baptist weight loss center is amazing and his dietician Ashton is so knowledgable. Best of all I have their cell phone numbers if I need anything or am questioning something post op!
I went to them for help after having my band removed 4 years ago. I ended up getting RNY 4 days ago. I had an excessive amount of scar tissue from the lap band but Dr. G had me out in 3 hours when he quoted my family 4! He checked on me in the hospital each day he did the same for my best friend. He absolutely cares!! He is also just as talented a surgeon as Dr.Lord (they both learned the technique from the same dr) but with Dr.G you gain a family member and feel heard.
I’ve seen Dr. Lord when I was 5 years out with my lap band. I’d gotten to goal weight but flying screwed me up and he and his staff were awful to me. I went to the er after that for help with my band.
