Surgeon Testimonial

Carlos A. Ferrari M.D.
DR. FERRARI IS A VERY SPECIAL MAN AND I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH HIM. HE WORKED VERY HARD GETTING APPROVAL OF A NORMAL WEIGHT PERSON, WHO IS SO AFRAID OF JUST GETING A TAKEDOWN OF HER VBG, SO HE IS DOING A VERTICAL SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY, AS WELL AS THE VBG TAKEDOWN, AND HE CONVINCED THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO APPROVE IT, ON THE FIRST LETTER. I`M VERY GRATEFUL TO GET MY LIFE BACK.rn9-26-06 DR. FERRARI DID MY REVISION TO VERTICAL SLEEVE GASTRESTOMY, AND I`M DOING GREAT. I THANK DR. FERRARI WITH ALL MY HEART, HE IS A GREAT SURGEON AND HUMAN BEING.
