From my experience with dealing with
Dr. Moonka, he is a very well mannered rather young surgeon, who is very informed on his procedure for WLS. He has a great manner and is very confident. He goes to great lengths to explain the benefits and the complications of WLS. He doesnt have a strong aftercare program, but he does make sure that he stays in contact with your PCP, and with you. He asks you to promise him to come to the visits that is set for you for after care and also makes sure you and your PCP have a plan for aftercare also. He goes into great detail about the surgery and how the weight lose will be on an over all scale and reminds you that WLS is different for everyone. HE explains the procedure and how he does it, verbally and with pictures. He is very responsive to questions. He makes sure you have a full understading of what WLS and how it will affect you in the long run. Dr. Moonka is rated very highly in the Pacific NW., as a competent surgeon and I find him to be a very personable man.
Dr. Moonka's office staff is very pleasant and easy to deal with. They get as excited as you do and they are very supportive when things are not going the best. They are prompt with phone calls and prompt with getting the insurance filed and sent out.
In my opinion so far, I rate Dr. Moonka his office staff a 10 ! Surgery for me isnt until July 18th.
