Surgeon Testimonial

Uretz J. Oliphant
I first heard of Dr. Oliphant through a shopper that came in all the time when I worked at Lane Bryant. It was amazing to watch her transformation and she never had anything bad to say about him. When I mentioned I was looking into WLS with his office, she warned me that I should be serious because he didn't allow you to cheat in his program and he had no interest in cheating patients who were there merely to enhance their physical appearance. He wanted to help people get healthy, period.rnrnThe first time I met him, I knew what she'd told me was true. He explained to me in depth everything that would come before, during and after my surgery. He didn't attempt to intimidate me, but made sure I understood just how serious this tool was going to be. He also drove home just how much it could change my life if I was willing to learn how to eat healthy and utilize the gift he could give me. His office staff was extremely nice. I've dealt with Martha Trenkamp (his nutritionist), Ann Carroll (one of his nurses) and briefly met his P.A. who's name escapes me. Each one was so excited for me and my new healthy future that I couldn't help but be excited too! Ann and Martha both reinforced the need to keep contact with them whether I was struggling with something or simply wanted to share a victory with them. This extended network of supporters just drove home the idea that I made the best choice for me. rnrnI'm sure I'll be able to add more once I've had my surgery, but for now I feel completely confident with Dr. Oliphant and his staff.

    Thursday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else.
