"All of this is my OPINION alone. Dr. Gillard is VERY anti WLS. She said all I needed was yet another diet and exercise program offered by her hospital. I felt as if I was talking to a wall. Cold as ice. Barely polite. In my opinion, it seems that the Milk of human kindness and compassion is not in her veins! I tried for months to get comfortable with her care, but cannot, so am changing PCP's. "
"I like this man, and feel confident in his training under Dr. Mal Fobi who devised this particular procedure. He makes very certain that the patient understands this is not a "quick fix," but requires a committment by the patient to a life long change.
He is very straight forward, answered all questions, no matter how stupid they sounded to me. I like him even better since the second meeting, when he arranged for a long discussion with the anestheologist who is taking my health and fears into consideration.
Dr. Burrowes is not one who dumps the patient after the surgery, but maintains contact, which I find very positive. Overall, I would very, very highly recommend Dr. Burrowes.
OK, 6 months post op and there is only one negative about Dr. Burrowes and that is aftercare and his office. They rarely answer the phone, and getting canned messages doesn't cut it. I understand how hectic it can get, but....The staff are all darling women, and very overworked. Dr. Burrowes and Dr. Case are wonderful surgeons and very positive and supportive. However it would be nice to be able to get through to the office on occassion. It is an 8 hour round trip for me to visit the doctor, and I can't go as often as local patients do. I would still go with Dr. B for the surgery though. He Is the BEST!"
