"I first met Dr Moore when he was working with another surgeon. I was immediately impressed with his knowledge and the number of laparoscopic surgeries he had done. I really wanted the laparascopic procedure, and I wanted someone who had extensive experience, so I decided to have him do my WLS. rnI am now 3 years post-op, and my regard for him has only increased. I feel blessed to have found such a gifted surgeon and quality human being to be my doctor. He was always very compassionate, never made me feel bad for being obese and needing the surgery. I always felt my questions were answered thoroughly, and he would adress my concerns even before I brought them up. He was very realistic about the risks vs. benefits of the surgery. rnHis bedside manner is among the best I have ever experienced. He has a good aftercare program, which I am unfortunately not able to utilize fully due to the distance from where I live. I drove from Sarasota to Ft. Lauderdale for my surgery and post-op care because of my faith in him as a surgeon. rnThe only difficulty I have had is occasional mis-communication with his staff. I once drove over to Ft. Lauderdale for an appointment I had scheduled weeks before, only to be told he wasn't in the office that day and I had never had an appointment. It wouldn't have been such a problem had I not driven over 200 miles each way for the appointment, and taken an entire day off from work unnecessarily. rnI truly cannot imagine finding a better bariatric surgeon, or a more caring one. I still see him twice a year for follow-up visits, and I really look forward to them. rnHe also recommended the best plastic surgeon for my needs after I reached goal weight- Dr. Bernard Shuster. I feel this referral alone has done wonderful things for my body and self-image.rnDr. Moore gave me back my life. I will be forever grateful that he is the doctor that I found to start me on the road to having a happy, full, and active life as a \"normal size\" person. I do things now that I was unable to do when I was 20 years younger!rnOf course, the views I have expressed are from my own personal experience. I would be glad to communicate with anyone considering having Dr Moore or Dr Shuster do surgery for them."
"My WLS surgeon, Dr. Ronald Moore, recommended Dr. Shuster, and I will be grateful forever. I felt very confident that he would do a wonderful job and take good care of me both physically and emotionally. He and his top-notch staff are the best, and I would recommend them to anyone considering plastic surgery. I had my upper body done on 12/15/05, and have scheduled my lower body lift for next June. I am very pleased with the results of the first surgery, and cannot recommend him highly enough. I plan to have several other procedures done to help me look my best, as soon as the lower body lift is healed. Dr. Moore, my WLS, gave me back my life. Dr. Shuster is making me feel beautiful."
