"There are nothing but good things to say about Dr. Houston and his staff at Centennial. I had 3 friends at work who had Dr. Houston as their surgeon. They each loved him, and his staff...and so do I.
Dr. Houston was extremely informative of the benefits and the dangers of the surgery during my consultation. He was also up front with me about the fact that it was not going to be easy, and it would take a lot of hard work and dedication to the program to meet my goal. I liked the fact that he was honest about those things.
The aftercare program at the Center for the Treatment of Obesity at Centennial Medical Center is the most comprehensive I have yet to see. Believe me, I really did my research before choosing Dr. Houston. I even looked into going to Dallas! Attending seminars and getting information from the surgeons you are considering is extremely important! I can't emphasize that enough to any of you out there contemplating this life-changing surgery. Of course, in my opinion, you need look no further than Dr. Houston, or any of his collegues.
I was able to meet Dr. Houston and his wife at a Christmas party that was sponsored by the Center. His wife told me that she prays for each of the patients on the morning of their surgery. I cannot tell you the peace that I felt after that. Dr. Houston also said that his patients are not just his patients, but become his family. I honestly believe that, and know that no matter how professionally trained a person is that God guides them every day in their profession. Having a wife that backs that up every morning with prayer is powerful. (Dr. Houston-if you ever read this...thank you for that!)
When I began my search for a surgeon, bedside manner is not something I really looked for in a surgeon. I chose Dr. Houston based on the research I had done, and the referral of 3 people I know that had him as their surgeon. Bedside manner was a bonus with Dr. Houston. I felt as if I was talking to a friend rather than a doctor. He communicates very well with his patients."
