"Dr. Blake has preformed two surgeries on my husband. (Not WLS). He is a very gentle man but does not sugarcoat anything. He tells you the risks right up front. Support and aftercare are very important. Dr. Blake conducts the support group meetings that he requires you to attend with a friend or family member. Dr. Blake's staff is wonderful!! They heard that my husband may be changing jobs and called me to put me on a "Fast Track" so my upcoming surgery would not interfere with his new job and possible insurance changes. I already feel like family."
