Fredrick Brody
"I had surgery on 6/26/2001. My first impression of Dr. Brody was that he was very serious. That impression hasn't changed. I actually saw him on the consultation day, then not again until after my surgery (2ce in the hospital). During consult he was very explanatory and answered my questions. In the hospital he seemed in a hurry. He is a man of few words. When asked, he told me he'd performed over 100 lap gastric procedures. Of these, half were the bypass. I think he did a fine job on me (so far). He is not a bariatric surgeon, rather a general surgeon. Those going to him should know that while you won't have as long a wait as with some other area hospitals, you also won't have as detailed a program as you may have with St. V's. If that is ok with you(it was for me) and you are willing to do your own research and ask questions, then fine. But if you want to have your hand held thru the process-- you may want to try another hospital (just my own opinion). I'd rate my hospital experience a C+. I'd rate Dr. B an A on surgical skill, a C on bedside manner and a B on personality. (incidentally, to be fair -- I'd rate myself a C+ on personality :-) -- no one's perfect. Today is 7/25/2001 and I have to amend what I said above. Dr. Brody ran the Clinic's first support group and I found him to be quite personable and caring. The Clinic is now taking steps to organize their WLS program and called this meeting to garner feedback from patients who've had the surgery. I thought that was a great move and hope that it means that the process will run much more smoothly from here on out."
