Michael Todd
"I first met with Michael Todd on November 21, 2000. I found his staff very personable and caring. I also think they were very well-informed for such a new center. Dr. Todd has come to recognize how overweight (much less obese) people are treated and how difficult their lives can be. I found him well-informed. He described in detail the options for the surgery including drawing me clear pictures. His bedside manner is excellant. He is a sensitive and caring person. I would encourage anyone seeking this surgery or information about their personal situation to contact him. Too many people have to go Outside for surgery which means aftercare is sketchy at best and they don't really know their doc and his team.While I read the part about having nothing negative to say, at this point in my experience that is the case. Possibly later my comments will be more balanced. 3/28/2001--It is 6 months later and I still feel Dr. Todd and his team is top notch. If anything is missing from the care, he adds it as soon as he becomes aware of it. He is constantly upgrading his skills and trying to find ways to make sure wls is successful and that his patients are as comfortable as possible. I attended a lunch time support meeting today and he popped in. One question that has kind of been raised behind the scenes is that out of his wonderful office staff no one has had the surgery and no one seems interested in it. Now while this is a very personal decision and just because they are staff does not mean they give up the right to privacy, it is curious to some of us why none of them who qualify have sought this option. I guess it is like eating in a restaurant where none of the employees will eat the food. Their competence and caring is unquestionable. One thing I really like is with a high degree of professionalism they are able to maintain a family atmosphere."
