My 1st impression was a great one. Dr. Christopher was very nice, seemed very concerned, and he was very thurogh going over every detail of this procedure.
His office staff was very efficiant and polite, I had no problems with them.
My surgery was 1/8/03, he took great care of me and the nurses were great too.
They didn't let me stay in pain, and made sure I stayed confortable. I had a problem with breathing after I was put under, so I ended up staying in recovery for alot longer, the nurses would be running around tending to other patiants, and if my machine started beeping a nurse would yell "Kelly breathe",I would smile and
take in this huge loud breath that would make everyone in there crack up laffin.
But once that my breathing got regulated, it was smooth sailing. I got up and walked all over the hospital until they released me on the 10th around lunch. But I do have to be honost, that surgery hurts like %#@*!

My first impression of Dr. Christopher was, WOW, HE'S SO YOUNG! AND CUTE, TOO!...LOL
The more he talked to me about the surgery, the procedure, and the risks associated with it, the more I realized that he really knew his profession. At first, I didn't think much of his staff because they didn't know much about the insurance side of the whole process. I suppose they didn't really want to get involved with the haggles sometimes associated with the approval process. I guess what I liked least about him was the fact that he is so young. Yet and still, there is something about him that is comforting and re-assuring. I feel that future patients should know that he has an excellent track record. He works with you from the beginning to the end with after care and a structured aftercare program. He made it very clear from the start that there are verifiable risks involved and that the decision to have the surgery is a lifelong committment. Overall, I don't have any doubts about his capabilities. After all, the first six letters of his last name, stand high up on my priority list. Surgical competence and bedside manners play an important role in who you choose for a surgeon. If your surgeon is able to make you feel comfortable enough to trust him, I believe, that he is confident enough with his abilities.

I meet DR.Christopher on Oct 16,2002. i was very happy with him. His office took care of everything for me. The staff is very friendly. I would give DR.Christopher a 10+ and also his office staff would get a 10+ for all their help. It took just 6 weeks for the first visit till my surgery. I would tell anyone that was looking for a bariatric doctor that DR.Christopher is who they should go and see.

My doctor suggested this doctor since she has had other patients use this clinic and I was very pleased with the efficient office staff. Dr Christopher is very nice and since i had been through this with my son i knew quite a bit about the procedure beforehand.Having the surgery at Brookwood Medical Center in Birmingham, Al as a choice I was given and the hospital staff there were very pleasent to deal with and willing to please.Ihave been instructed on pre surgery exercises and diet requirements as well as what to bring and expect on a daily basis during my stay there. over all i am very confident that Dr Christopher is well trained in this procedure.

Dr. Christopher seem to be a great doctor and person. He answred all my questin. He was very busy but once he came in to see me it was like there was no one else waiting for him. I liked everything about him I can't wait for Jan. so I can have my surgery also. He really looks alot younger than he is. I feel comfort with him. He explaned all the pros and cons to me and made me feel real good about it all. I would as of now rate him as a 9.

Dr. Tim Christopher was a very nice man. He was running late for our appointment, but he did have an emergency (which is fine by me because if I need him then I will want him to have his other patients that are wanting surgery wait too) So no big deal on the latenest. But he did apoligize. My husband went with me which suprised me b/c he normally will wait at home and let me fill him in!! But anyway Dr. Christopher's office staff was very nice...He addressed the major risks of the surgery..and then explained how he will try to prevent these risks..Like he said he will TRY to prevent..I would rate Dr. Christopher on a scale to 1 to 10..10 the best..about a 8 maybe if I had more time with him it'll be a 10..which that might change over the weeks...

I have officially changed my mind Dr. Christopher was a very competent surgeon and I could not have asked for better for myself. He has a very good after care program I will see him every 3 months for the first year. He is a very conscientious man that worked miracles on me. I would most defiantly recommend him to anyone that is interested in having this surgery.

Dr. Christopher and his staff were so nice and helpful at my initial consultation. He took the time to explain EVERYTHING to me and to answer every question I had thoroughly. He explained all of the risks and all of the benefits of having the surgery. I feel very comfortable and safe knowing Dr. Christopher will be doing my surgery.
