Thomas Clark
"My first impression of Dr. Clark was very good. I got the feeling like he was very experienced with the surgery and knew what he was doing. In his seminar, he's extremely helpful and makes sure to touch on every base to inform all potential patients of the advantages and disadvantages. I felt very confident in having him operate on me. I was pleased with his combined method of the vertical band and the gastric bypass. I feel that it's a very thorough method, and it definitely worked well for me. His office staff are all very informative, and I've never had a problem getting my questions answered or receiving a call back from any of the doctors or nurses. He seems personally connected with his patients, and though he has a high volume of patients that come to him, he never seems to forget a face (no matter how much it may change). I would definitely recommend any one I know that's interested in getting the surgery to him. rnrnThe only thing I had a problem digesting at his office (metaphorically of course), was the nutritionist and her aide. I saw her once, and during that session, she was not very helpful and did not really set a strict guide for what I expected to be eating throughout the rest of the year. She was nice and friendly, but I did not feel I benefitted from her advice. Whats more, is they offer a couple of programs for different prices, and you're required to purchase at least one. I don't feel like I really saw anything for the money paid for the program. I'm not even exactly sure what it was paid for, to be honest."

Sentara Careplex Hospital (COE)
"This hospital, though new, modern, and closely resembles an airport, needs serious improvements. It's staff leaves much to be desired. Most every body has a bad attitude, are non responsive when you need immediate attention, and don't acknowledge small requests very well. This hospital has received poor reviews from everyone that I know of that has had to use it. The hospital recently repaced a much smaller hospital, and they had to make quick arrangements for staffing, which resulted in poor decisions. If this hospital was only an option, I would have chosen a different one in the area in a heart beat. "

Randell Blanchard
"Dr. Blanchard came highly recommended from other surgeons, staff, patients and doctors. His work was always reported as being top notch and very successful and natural. My mother who works as an OBGYN has seen a lot of his breast work, and couldn't say enough positive remarks about his work. Meeting with Dr. Blanchard was a pleasant experience, and he connected with my WLS and was very understanding. After my BA on 12/30/05, he sent flowers with a note that said "happy healing" and his staff called to check up. I am now a full 2 weeks post-op, and my recovery is coming along. My periareolar incisions are so hairline, they're almost invisible. He definitely did an amazing job correcting my asymmetry and giving me a beautiful full bustline. I can't wait to see the finished result. "
