Your Doctor’s Orders A blog by Terry Simpson, MD, FACS

Dr. Simpson

drsimpsonThe practice is devoted to one weight loss surgery – The laparoscopic adjustable band (LAP-BAND). We use to do others, but after seeing the results of the results of the band in our patients, we decided to only offer the band as our weight loss surgery.

“The band is safer, less invasive, and allows a faster recovery.”

We use one tool, the lap band. We know the tool well – we know how it works and we will work with you to maximiz your weight loss with this tool We understand that once you have chosen to have weight loss surgery you want the best possible Lap-Band surgeon.

We are honored to have been selected by more Arizonans for their LAP-BAND surgery than any other surgical practice in the state.

As a result, Allergan (the company that makes the band) chose Dr. Simpson to be the only proctor (teacher) of other surgeons in Arizona — when someone wants to learn how to do the surgery, they come to Dr. Simpson.

The reason is simple: we not only do a great job with the surgery, but we offer a concierge service to our patients– all have not only the office email, but Dr. Simpson’s personal email that he constantly checks. Have a simple question – email – because we believe communication with patients is the best way for their success.

“The band is more than an operation, “ Dr. Simpson comments, “It is a journey. We know the successful habits of patients who get to their weight loss goal and stay there.”

Those successful habits are the basis of the support groups, as well as the basis of Dr. Simpson’s workbook that all his patients receive.

Men are a different with their weight loss. Wanting to retain vitality, wanting to be able to compete whether that be on the job, in recreation, with kids, or for dates. Taking medicine isn’t fun – -avoiding taking medicine by losing weight and keeping it off is the best investment you can make.

Dr. Simpson first arrived in Phoenix in 1991.
