"My first impression of Dr Prachand was as they say a lasting impression. Upon meeting him the very first thought that came to mind was how he could be so very young yet have such an impressionable background. Talking with him I noticed many other good qualities in Dr. Prachand as well. He was very easy to talk with and I was really impressed with his level of expertise and his professional demeanor was just excellent. I found the experience of meeting him for the very first time very comfortable as he sat for a very long period of time talking with me, discussing and explaining the various aspects of the program. He took as much time as was needed to explain the risk and to talk with me about the residual effects of the surgery and the life changing aspects of the surgery along with the continued commitment needed to accomplish and sustain the weight loss. There was never a hint of rush rush as it usually is with most doctors.
I sensed that with Dr. Prachand it isn’t about the numbers it’s about each and every individual patient and their unique and individual needs. He is very skilled and knowledgeable and takes excellent care of his patients. I was particularly impressed with his truthfulness he displayed when giving me his recommendation as to which surgery he felt best suited me and my particular case. I am genuinely looking forward to developing a patient doctor relationship with Dr. Prachand because he spoke with me without any lack of confidence in either himself or myself in accomplishing successful and sustainable weight loss with the surgery. I felt the level of confidence he had in me to succeed and the fact that he thought I would do well with the surgery. There wasn’t even a ounce of skepticism. Thus far I everyone in the surgical weight loss program staff I have met are very nice. The entire group stress aftercare and there is a very well structured aftercare program in place along with the many levels of support. I believe that his beside manner along with his surgical competence are just a small portion of his many great attributes.

"I have come cherish my relationship with Dr. Partridge. He has been my primary care physician for many years now providing me with excellent medical care for a wide range of illnesses. I completely trust and value Dr. Partridges quality of medical care. I am very pleased with his ability and insistance on providing his patients with excellent medical care. If he feels that there is something requiring special attention he will not hesitate to send his patients further to someone who has a specialty in that particular field of medicine. Dr. Partridge has a special relationship with his patients, he often laughs and jokes, he is a very special kind of person. I just love him to death. I have the utmost trust and respect in Dr. Partridge and know within my heart that he cares very much about each and every one of his patients. Dr. Partridge is great at treating my asthma and without him I am not so sure that I would be where I am today. He has pulled me thru so many times. He treats me for my diabetes, fibromyalgia, IBS, Depression problems and other problems such as sleeplessness. He is just such a great asset."
