Kenneth M.R. Warnock
"FIRST CONSULTATION: My first impression of Dr. W was that he was very gentle and knowlegable. That has not changed yet over time. His office staff is also knowlegable and very helpful. I liked the fact that he was attentive to detail and explained things well. His best characteristic was that he was comforting and reassuring throughout my consultation. I haven't found anything I don't like yet. Future patients should know that he may make you lose weight and/or start and exercise program before you get a surgery date (he did require that of me). His aftercare program is very externsive and he emphasizes that his patients are his patients for life. I'm not far enough along to know about long term structured aftercare. He definately addresses the risks of surgery in the first consultation. Overall, I would rate him excellent, I really think he is a wonderful doctor. SECOND CONSULTATION: When I saw him at the second consulation I had not lost the weight he had requested for a surgery date due to the fact that I had a back injury and had to take steroids. He was EXTREMELY understanding. He asked about my compliance with the other things we had discussed and complimented the progress I had made. Since I had lost about half the weight, he set a surgery date!!!!! I am scheduled for surgery 1/21/05. PHONE CONSULTATION 1/11/05: I have been working so very hard to lose the remainder of the weight that I am supposed to lose. For the last three weeks I have been on a mostly liquid diet and have lost little weight. My PCP told me it was because of a med he had me on. I called Dr. W and he DID NOT cancel surgery but put me on a liquid diet. OFFICE STAFF: I have dealt extensively with his office staff and found them to be very competent, friendly, timely and professional. AFTERCARE: Dr. W believes that once you are his patient and he does a WLS you are his patient forever. He emphasizes the fact that there are changes to our bodies that will need to be monitored/dealt with for the rest of our lives. His aftercare program is definately structured, well thought out and thorough. RISKS OF SURGERY were addressed indivdually at the first consultation and then in writing in preop materials given to all patients when surgery is scheduled. I could not think of a higher way to rate Dr. W. He is a superior doctor. The only negative I would have to say would be that he is very busy and that there is often quite a wait to get in to see him when you have an appointment."
