Surgeon Testimonial

Mark Vierra, M.D.
My very first impression of Dr. Vierra was that he is a very realistic doctor. He wants you to follow his instruction and only expects the best after you doing so. My second impression took place during my first appointment and it was then that I realized what an awesome physician he really is! He really cares about his patients and wants the best for them and he gives credit for applied effort. The office staff was wonderful. At the time I went in, they were swamped with patients, it was quite obvious, but they didn't let it show in their approach to customer service.

Hello all.  This post in not in regards to weight loss surgery but seeking out advice and reassurance about a move.  My family (myself, my husband and my 2 1/2 year old son) are moving to Bloomington, Indiana in February 2009. 

We're a military family that will become civilians again on Feb. 20. We're so excited to go back to "normal" life. We've moved about 20 times between the two of us and WE'RE TIRED OF IT.  So we're making Bloomington our permanent home.   We're both originally from the midwest (I'm from Chicago and he's from Ohio) and want to move our child back to a comfortable and normal way of life (we've been living in California for the last year and a half ). 

Anyone have any imput on living in Indiana? Living in Bloomington, in particular? 

I'd appreciate ANY advice that is given!  THANKS IN ADVANCE.
