Surgeon Testimonial

Dirk Rodriguez, M.D.
I thought he was fantastic and really cares about all of his patients. He wants everyone to achieve the WL goals and he is very helpful with this.

My impression still hasn't changed at all of him personally. I just sometimes feel the office is getting too big and too many patients.

The office staff is great but they are constantly changing the office staff. People come and go all the time.

There's nothing I do not like about the man.

He is very direct and blunt; does not sugar coat and make you feel warm inside. If you're doing something wrong he'll tell you. Very straight forward and some people can't deal with this but I love it.

Yes they have a wonderfully structured program at Deaconess Surgerical Weight Loss Clinic.

The aftercare is fantastic! Support groups, follow ups, phone calls, discussion boards.

He was very straight laced when it came to the surgery. Didn't try to "sell" me on it, just wanted me to know all the risks involved.

I would give him an overall 10!

His knowledge of the surgery and beside manner are both fantastic.

My Story

I probably have a story like everyone else.  I've tried all the diets and exercise and couldn't keep the weight off.  I've done diet polls OTC and Rx and spoken to many doctors as to what I could do.

Finally, my last straw was to have WLS on November 6th 2007 and now I feel I can start a story.
