"I have only met with the surgeon once but he got right down to business. I had already done a little research about his history and affiliations and was aware that he is one of the few surgeons in the area that performs the Laproscopic Gastric Bypass surgical procedure. Initially, I was a little put off because I expected him to be a little warm and fuzzy, but then I realized that I was not in the market for a new buddy, but a competent surgeon. He was able to answer all of my questions and gave me all the details(including risks) that I needed.

Went in for my pre-op testing and a resident was there. I assumed Dr.Brody would come in but when the resident was done, he asked if I had any further questions...I asked where the surgeon was and he stated that he would only be in if I requested to see him. I told him that I would feel more comfortable if the surgeon was able to field my final questions. Dr.Brody came in and he was a little more personable this time and assured me that everything would go well. Once again, he was able to answer all of my questions to my satisfaction. "
