"Dr.Spier is great.Some have said he has a off kind of sense of humor but I did not get this impression.I think he has a wonderful sense of humor,a very caring nature,a straight to the point person.I felt very comfortable with him.He put me right at ease right away.I attended my first support group meeting and it was great.Dr. Spier and Robin,a member of his staff and a surgery weight loss member,were there to talk and do a demo of the surgery.After the meeting Dr.Spier and Robin talked to people individually who were considering.I don't think too many doctors or staff would devote that much time as a rule.I very highly recommend Dr.Spier."
