Kirby Southall

"Dr. Southall has been my PCP for at least 15 years. I wanted to have WLS in '88, but he forbid the surgeon to do it, as did my therapist. They said I would eat my way through it. And, as mad as that made me, at that time they were most likely right. However, I'm not the same person I was then, and he gave his blessings on my surgery last August, and is very pleased with my progress. I love this doctor. "

James Correll

"This man advised me to have an affair, he even picked out someone in my past who he thought was a great candidate. I said I couldn't do that. But later, I ended up doing that, not with his chosen candidate, but someone else. Then he immediately told me to cut it off. I guess he just wanted me to get past sexual frustration. He said "you are RIPE for an affair". I believe my next therapist investigated him and possibly reported him. Dr. Correll told me not only was he not supposed to tell anything I said, but I wasn't supposed to tell anything he said."

Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital (COE)

"I was very pleased with my stay. MOST of the nursing staff were very good to me, with the exception of the very first two nurses I had the first day. "

Neil Hutcher

"I finally met with Dr. Hutcher on Nov.5th. I was very impressed. He said he won't do a lap, because there are too many things that could be wrong inside me that he would not be able to see if he did the lap. I may have a hernia, and if I do he will take care of that at the same time. I felt more sure than ever that this is the right thing for me to do. "
