This visit was great! There were times earlier this year when I called for advice from the bariatric program and I couldn't get a call back but that seems to have improved!

I am extremely happy and satisfied with the care and treatment I receive from the Legacy family. They always have communicated well with me, are always very concerned and I have never really been as truly impressed as I am with this organization and the caliber of people they hire.

Nothing bad, had one question that didn't quite get answered but will take it up via My Health.This was my first visit with this provider for a procedure that most people will never consider, so I can't really say I'd recommend Dr. Halpin because 1) it wouldn't be welcome and 2) beyond a consult, I've not seen her action.

My past experiences with Dr Halpin was she was not very friendly, and always in a hurry, but my visit yesterday she seemed much better and more interested in my concerns. I have found it very difficult to contact her office at the time l am having difficulties. When l have concerns l need help that day, not on the next day when the problem my may have resolved
Dr Halpin is calm, professional & answers questions clearly.
