Morris Washington

"My first impression of Dr Washington was he is a very gentle man. He is a good listener, and he explained everything to me very clearly. He told me the risks of surgery, very openly and honestly, but with care. He told me he wouldn't make the decision for me, that it was a personal choice. ( I was undecided between the Lapband and Roux-N-Y Gastric Bypass. ) He said he would do either one I chose, but he would vote for the Bypass due to my \"Metabolic Syndrome\", meaning Type 2 diabetes, high cholestrol, and high blood pressure...which are all potentially fatal conditions in and of themselves.rnrnAfter seeing him a couple of times, I realized how competent and trustworthy he truely is. ..and he never rushed me or made me to feel like he was in a hurry, even though he is a very busy Doctor. I have grown to love him, and I would recommend him heartily.rnrnHis office staff is very nice and professional. There was nothing I didn't like about Dr Washington. I was just apprehensive about putting my very life into his hands because I didn't know him. I was referred to him by my PCP. But I grew to trust him. I learned about him from hospital staff, and found out how highly respected he is there.rnrnHis aftercare is greatly emphasized right from the beginning. Nutrition classes are given , and the importance of aftercare is stressed.rnI would rate him on a scale of 1-10 as a 10. His surgical competence, bedside manner and personality are terrific !"

CentraState Medical Center

"The staff was as nice and professional as could be, yet very down to earth and kind. They were all very courteous and friendly as well. I could not have asked for more. Everything was great except I'd wished the bed was wider. It seemed more narrow than an average single bed, but that may have been because I was so filled up with gas from my abdomen being blown up for surgery, that I could barely turn from side to side, The hosptial stay was beyond my expectations."
