"Finally I met Dr. Lavin on 6-16-05. He was not what I expected. He was very kind, knowledgable, confident, positive, but I expected him to be really outgoing, from what others have said. I was impressed, and have heard his bed side manner is even better. My oldest daughter was w/ me...and she said he was "HOT"...I have to agree. Maybe he was so quiet due to our goofy smiles at him... His staff is awesome, especially my Patient Advocate, Rachel,and his Nurse Practioner, Chris. They handle everything w/ professionalism, courtesy, care, concern, and truly, I feel love. They will not mislead you, or disappoint you. The office and building is designed for obese people(bigger elevators, bathrooms, close parking, large chairs, sufficient scales, large hallways, and smiling faces) From the beginning you are told of the risks, the pluses, and the consequences to almost any action. They make sure you are fit, both physically, mentally, and emotionally. They use hospitals that are equipped to deal w/ obese patients and are sensitive to our needs. "
