"I have had three doctors for my surgery. I started out with Dr. Bissel. I was glad he didn't operate on me. Then I had Dr. Spencer. He is a good surgeon. Many other surgeons would have given up after the first 3 hours of trying to get my gallstone out lapriscopically before they continued on with the gastric bypass. Then we come to my third Doctor. If you noticed I spelled it with a capital D. I can ask Dr. Lord anything. I am confident that he will not become frustrated when he is asked questions. I have seen in the past that some doctors get a little upset if you question them. This has always led me to believe that the person was not as well educated or skilled in the subject. I have full confidence that Dr. Lord knows what he is talking about. He has never gotten angry or frustrated at any questions that I have seen asked of him. I have also heard him answer questions that I have not been able to get answers to before, or the answer was so vague that it really wasn't an answer. He has operated on some of my friends and his professionalism is above reproach, not to mention his skill level. All I can say is that if you are lucky enough to have Doctor Lord then feel free to ask all the questions you need to and get ready for an educated, well versed bedside mannered complete package doctor.
The Office is a little hard to get through because of the volume of patients. Janice does have an emergency number for patients to call incase there is a problem. She is responsive to any problems that you have. I have had some problems getting scheduled for appointments, but I am hoping that they will work out their systems for after care appointments. Although I have had this problem many others have not. It just may be the patient. As a last note I have to say that the thing I didn't like about Dr. Lord is that he is so intelligent and caring that you could feel bad if you didn't do what he asked of you. But then again I guess that deters you from doing the wrong thing.
