"My first impression of Dr. McD. was one of \"get it done plus get it done safely\". The office staff has been very helpful. Quick to answer questions, give information and go to battle with the insurance company. Places great emphasis on after care in that the surgery is just a tool to assist with weight loss. If I revert back to the old patterns then my body will revert back to its old size. Also, emphasis placed on the importance of walking and getting out and getting moving. All the risks of surgery were addressed and because of my excessive weight there was even more risk involved. Overall I would definitely say that Dr. McD is capable. Kind of quiet but able to get to the point and give the information accurately and concisely. I know some people might say that bedside manner is better but if I need someone to save my life I don't necessarily need them to hold my hand but competence is great! If they have a nice bedside manner, that is a bonus to saving one's life. If you get to Citizens Ron is the doctors PA and was extremely helpful with words of encouragement and pep talks. The information packet is awesome."
