James Atkinson, MD

I'm getting the sleeve done all I hear is good reviews I'll be back and give the last part of my review of how he took care of me...

I got referred by Southwest Medical Associates for weight loss surgery. I have done all the classes. I am suppose to get surgery done next week, however I have not even got to meet Dr. Atkinson MD. I have met only the PA Washington. I selected Dr. Atkinson because of him being a great surgeon, however I am only a week away and starting to have second thoughts. I would like to meet the surgeon I selected which I feel could put me more at ease. I am a single mom of two kids with prior health issues which lead me into this tough decision of a surgical gastric sleeve. I find it very odd that I have not been able to meet with Dr. Atkinson.

I was referred here by my Medical Provider Southwest Medical Center, for barbaric surgery. There was classes for 6 months and then you were able to choose your physician the Dr. I chose Dr. A does not do the procedure I needed, and I was going to see the PA instead of the Dr. which had me kind of uneasy but since Dr A was not going to perform my surgery and was referred to his associate Dr Marc LeDuc, Dr LeDuc was and outstanding Doctor.from the first time meeting him, he made sure that all the proper procedures prior to my surgery was completed. I saw him before my surgery and he also came to my room that make sure that I was ready to leave the hospital with out any questions or concerns. I also seen Dr LeDuc after my 1 week post op. Since then i have seen the General Practitioner and appreciate the concern that she has for my health and success from this surgery. I have not had any complications from my surgery and is very pleased with the office staff especially the schedulers they are fantastic women and the rest of the medical office personnel.

I have been struggling with my weight for a very long time I am so happy that I have been able to drop a significant amount of weight. You guys rock!

I have my surgery November 15th 2017and through the whole process for the last few months....... the staff and the doctors have been so wonderful and kind to me and having a major surgery like this is not something that's easy to get through .......but to have the people you know that actually genuinely care or at least make you feel like they do is a good support.
