Specialty Surgery Center of Fort Worth
"I thought it was a bit assembly lineish. I mean you were in the room with other patients right there (no privacy) both before and after. They lined you up pre and post op. One lady was having bad naseau afterwards and I could hear all about it being so close to her in recovery room. I guess this keeps the cost down so self-pay like me can afford it. The nurses were just awesome...so friendly and they really care. Mine had the lap band 4 years ago and really helped me with all my anxiety I had pre op. "

Adam Smith
"I had a good first impression of Dr. Smith from his seminar. He led the seminar and gave his own personal testimony. He also stayed and answered any one on one questions. He was very personable at my first office visit. He say my page of questions and said to me, 'I see them now let's get started on them.' He was honest. I asked about his mortality rates for his surgeries. He wasn't pushy at all. I probably was with him an hour that first visit.rnrnLBS office staff is very friendly. I would have to be honest though and say a little disorganized and short staffed (maybe)in the front office though. I had Finance questions and took over 3 days to return my call the second time and never did the first time I called. My husband went to buy me some New Whey and he waited over 20 minutes. I love his nurse Susie. SHe had lap band and is awesome with advice and patience with newbies like me. I should be having my first fill after 3 weeks but due to so many patients it is more like 5 weeks til first one. rnrnThe one thing that I didn't like about the surgery is that afterwards Dr. Smith didn't visit with me,only my husband waiting. Another patient with a different Dr. came to check on her. It would have been a more warm and fuzzy personal experience if he had check on me directly right afterwards. rnrnThe one thing I love about Dr. Smith is how he stress aftercare. I read some of these posts/blogs and they have no aftercare. Smith has a aftercare support group each Tuesday in his building. I really like that his Psych. and nurse are at them to lead and answer questions. Not to mention all the other patients there that can share there stories/advice. rnrnHe does well with the risks of surgery too. Just be sure to ask if you have any concerns. He'll answer with the first consult at his office. rnrnI would rate him as a 9 but what do I have to compare it too. I would say his surgical competence is great since he had it done, and trains others due to being one of the first dr.s to do it. I thank he has very good beside manner too. rnrn"
