"My first impression of Dr. Stone was that he was very sensitive. He answered all my questions and didn't thing any of them were unimportant. Since my initial consultation I have had an emergency gall bladder surgery that he performed on me. He said my condition was life threatening. He was great. I was very glad to have such a competent Surgeon. The staff at Team Bariatrics is wonderful. They talk to you not at you like some places. They have a wonderful aftercare program that you can see for your self on their web site. The one of the best things about them are the great people that work on the insurance. I always got my paper work faxed in and I always had my calls returned within the same day when I couldn’t speak to them right away. While maintaining a professional attitude they all behave like they are your friends. I liked that about them.rnrnUPDATED: Now that I have had the Lap Band surgery it has become clear that fills are harder than I thought they would be. It is very difficult for him to find the port. It may be that I have more \"tissue\" than most. He was very understanding when I had a difficult time dealing with this. It is evident how much Dr. Stone cares. I love him and I think that Team Bariatrics will be a huge success once they get this down. A fluro machine at the office would be very helpful. The after care is great. The insurance process was a breeze thanks to Deb W. Thanks!rnrnUPDATED: I am told that Dr. Stone decided to close both is Bariatric and Private practice for personal reasons. At first this really threw me for a loop. No one has done fills on me except for him, and to have him up and leave like that it left me feeling abandoned and scared. However, now I see Dr. Denise Murphey. She is wonderful. She gets my port on the first try and it seems easy for her do the fill. It was the best fill expierence I ever had. I love the way she \"measures\" how much fill I have. She seems very confident and understanding. I recomend her to anyone. "
