Dr. Dexter Godfrey Turnquest, MD

One hour and 15 min. wait 30 more in Room After surgery not my mistake I didnt do that.

Me and my wife would from Midland to Houston for Dr. Turnquest and I can't say enough good about him. He was caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and very informative. The entire procedure from the first consultation to the release from the hospital was terrific. My wife is very please with the way her surgery turned out. His title is surgeon of excellence and I even believe that is an understatement. If I could recommend any doctor/surgeon it will be him

I have been a patient twice and am happy with my services. However, after a recent issue with a referral, I have found that the office manager Tanya and Raven are not as knowledgeable and or courteous! They have made an experience very upsetting for a referral patient at which I had to get involved regarding copays, deductables, and insurance rules for her policy. Instead of admitting that they were wrong, they are people that become argumentative, defensive, unapologetic and rude regarding misinformation. Patient or customer service should be a priority and it wasnt the case in this scenario. I provided feedback as to where improvements could be made for a positive experience as well has remaining professional so that at the end of the conversation one can feel that their care and experience was the priority. Instead, choosing to become defensive and argumentative leaves me with a negative experience regarding patient referrals. People are reduced to those who can pay/ have the… bariatric rider in their plan or those that are cash patients and it was just an over all negative experience. Knowledge of your insurance plan and insurance rules is the first thing a patient should do before contacting them. Attending the seminar regarding surgeries and services is the next thing that should be done so that you can know and feel comfortable regarding the visit. If you have or feel that something is off question it. You cannot be harmed in any way for making sure that based on your insurance that you are asking all approriate service questions and insurance questions.

Dr. Turnquest USA rare find! Compassionate with a wonderful bedside manner! Performed my husbands surgery with ease and left me feeling that he was in safe hands!

Dr. Turnquest has a great bedside manner. He comes in smiling and leaves smiling. He took the time to talk with me about the sleeve procedure and didn't rush the visit like other doctors usually do. Staff seems very nice and are helpful.

Great surgeon who makes you feel like you can trust him with your life! He's great and I give him and his staff an A++.

Dr. Turnquist know what he doing very timely and has excellent bedside manners I highly recommend him.

Easy to talk to and positive doctor.

They were really quick to get me in for weight loss surgery. Afterwards, i went back to work quickly. About 6 weeks in i began having some complications and dr. Turnquest's office refused to fill out my fmla paperwork so that i could get through the issue. My job will not give me time to go to the doctor office without fmla paperwork so here i am months later still suffering the same issue. I am very dissapointed with the follow up. Its as if they dont care because they got paid for the surgery already.

A very honest physician who is very good as a surgeon. Before selecting any surgeon I must know that he has done this procedure for many years and knows what to expect from the unexpected. Dr Turnquest was that physician for me. Go see him, talk to him, be honest and ask all your questions. He saved my life.
