About our Practice
We are a practice that believes strongly in follow up and keeping in touch with our patients. We believe that the operation is just the start of a journey, not the end of it. We know that sometimes you need a small adjustment in the band, or sometimes you need to spend some time learning about the foods you are eating -- and our office is available for that. The band is not just about surgery -- it is about a lifestyle change, and we are here to help you through that journey.
Not just another diet — but a solution for permanent weight loss. Ever notice that other weight loss programs state that “results not typical”? With the adjustable gastric band the results are typical.
Results are improved when the practice is band only — our practice is dedicated to the band, not the bypass. You won’t get advice meant for a bypass patient. We feel that band is a good tool for weight loss, and because of that we have dedicated our practice to the band. The band is a tool for weight loss, and teaching you how to use that tool is a process. Dr. Simpson sees every post op patient, does all the fills and adjustments, and uses that time to teach you how to use your band. The education starts even before surgery with our pre-op class, but continues long after surgery so you can use the band effectively.
Experience — Dedication to the band — Dr. Simpson is the only proctor for the band in Arizona- this means that Dr. Simpson is the one designated by the company to teach others how to put in the band. Why Dr. Simpson? Because no one in Arizona has more experience with the band.
When you are thinking about a band don’t you want a practice dedicated to just the band? Don’t you want the most experienced surgeon? Don’t you want to have the follow-up care done by the people who wrote the book? We don’t just talk about aftercare — we prove it with our patients.
