"My first impression of Dr. Richard Symmonds was that he is extremely competent. The seminar that he gives (along with his associate, Dr. Rodriquez) a well planned, informative presentation. I very much like his personal bedside manner. Dr. Symmond's requires potential patients to have a psychological evaluation and other tests to provide the surgical team with as much information about the patient as possible prior to surgery. Furthermore, Dr. Symmond's team, the patient advocate, surgical nurse and other assistants are very cordial and helpful. They have been very supportive to provide me with a surgical date that fits into my school schedule (I am a teacher). I would recommend him to anyone looking to find a bariatric surgeon in the Austin-Temple area."
