Adam Smith Bariatric Surgeon D.O., F.A.C.O.S.

I changed surgeons when I moved to Fort Worth. Dr. Smith will be removing my band on Tuesday. I'm thankful for all the help he has given me since I moved here and that he accepted me as a transfer patient from PA.



My first impression of Dr. Brader was that he is very confident in his field. I was looking for a specialist and not a training facility.

I am waiting for a surgery date and will be able to post more about the Doctor at that time.

I met Dr. Smith at one of his Seminars, I was very impressed. He is a very kind person. He has a great \"bed side manner\"

Dr. Smith was a God send for me. He had to do alot of research about my disease in order to do my surgery. I am the first Lap band patient with Elhers Danlos Syndrome. So it was kind of touch and go as to weather I would be able to have the surgery. His office staff are the most loving and caring group of women I have ever met. He beleives in what he is doing and you can see the pride he feels when you go in and he sees your progress. He is truly an amazing man.

Dr. Smith is an excellent surgeon and has a great office staff.

My first impression was wow. He is telling it first hand since he has also had the banding done. I was totally excited. It seems like I couldn't get it all done fast enough. His staff were great and answered every question I needed and prompt to e-mail me when there seemed to be any concerns. rnrnOn the day of surgery I woke up with vertigo and was deathly ill. Could not hold up my head with getting sick. Dr. Smith came to the hotel and medicated me and reschedule my surgery for the next week. I couldn't of asked for a more compassionate caring man.

Dr Smith has the Lap Band himself, that was definitely a positive factor in choosing him as my surgeon. He is friendly and comes across as down to earth with a sense of humor. He has a great staff, very helpful with getting me processed and surgery completed, it took appoximately 5 weeks from my initial phone conversation to set up an appt. with Dr Smith, starting preop diet, then scheduled surgery, everything went smoothly. They have a great aftercare program twice a month support meetings, and a third meeting monthly for special guest topics. I feel I have made the best decision in choosing Dr Smith and his staff for my surgery, as I said before, he has the band, many of his staff have the band and so does his wife!

Mr first impression of Dr. Smith was honest!rnHis office staff are very effecient and caring. Heather is the BEST!!rnMy favorite thing about Dr. Smith is that he has the band and totally understand what you are going thru and what you will be going thru each and every day!!rnHe does have aftercare support groups and programs.rnHe was very honest and frank about risks.rnI would rank him thus far excellent!!rnI think having both good bedside manner and competence are important. I'd prefer him to be more competent than compassionate if I had to pick.

'Dr Smith is awesome! He had lapband surgery prior to performing the surgery and is a true inspiration. He knows all the pros and cons firsthand and I felt very confident in his hands. His competence and bedside manner are the BEST. Most of his staff have had lap band surgery and are very friendly and inspirational

I had my surgery on August 4, 2005. I am having my first fill/adjustment tomorrow, September 19, 2005. I have lost 26 pounds so far and I have been extremely satisfied with my results thus far.

I met Dr. Smith on January 11th. I liked him. He answered all my questions. His staff was great very friendly and concerned. I have spoken to his staff frequently and they have always been friendly and supportive.
