"Well, now that I am 15 weeks post-op, I thought its time to tell the truth about Dr. Lane. I will start off and say this, I would not/could not have chosen a better surgeon. Dr. Lane's has been so personable and has provided me with any and everything I could ask for in a doctor. Yes, his demeanor was quite refreshing from the very first interview back in December, 2000. Of course, I did my home work and had lots of complex questions, in which he was able to break it down to me in real terms so that I fully understood everything!! He was and is very professional. After the surgery, I called him a couple of times and he got right back with me, which I really appreciated. Sometimes doctors will pass- the-buck when they are not on duty. Dr. Lane handled his own and I like that about a doctor. I would recommend Dr. Lane to future patients, and would suggest that future patients be prepared prior to meeting with any physician with plenty of questions. Dr. Lane strongly emphasizes aftercare and support group information. WLS risks are certainly on an individual basis. Everyone don't experience the same things, which is good. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate Dr. Lane a 10, and believe that he is surgically competant and has good bedside manners."
