Donald B. Graham Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Quiet guy with a sense of humor. Dr. verbalizes rather deeply which I appreciated as I am a nurse,yet he was excellent when I didn't follow what he was saying :-) Toleratant of my 2 and 4 year old children. Their staff took the boys out of the room and "played" with them so my husband and I could concentrate on the visit. His office staff is exceptional. From Dr and his staff I never once felt "shamed" for needing this surgery. All visits were treated like any other medical condition I have been treated for. Not alot of aftercare stressed although I think he relies on his staff to fill in those spots, which they do very well. No structured aftercare that I know of. Spoke of risks as well of expected advantages. I'd rate him a 10 on 1-10 scale (no a 9 since we know he is humam and humans make mistakes :-) Surgical I suspect he is good but can't say cause I was sleeping when he was doing his thing :-) But the incion is nice :-) and bedside manner is good. Staff nurses at the hospital spoke highly of him and his partner Dr. OBrein (being a nurse I know that says alot about a Dr. if the nurses offer information about the Dr. vs skirtting the issue)

I have had only one visit with him, will have the next the day before the actual surgery. He seemed very nice, took time to explain everything to me, answered all my questions and made me feel less scared about the whole procedure.
We waited for ever to get into the room, it was the week before Christmas, so they were very busy
