Surgeon Testimonial

David Lautz, M.D.
The surgeon was very professional. His office staff is great. His adminstrator is a little rough around the edges but knows her job and is alot a fun. The office staff overall are very nice and professional. The program is very well structured and focuses on presurgery and aftercare. They have a program that is focused on wholistic comprehsive care. They have a hotline manned by R.N.s and N.P.s
The surgery risks were explained at the information session which is required of all patients and at the initial consult. I was given many occasions to ask questions. They also gave extensive reading material both times.
I would rate him and the program excellent.
