"My first impression of Dr. Brolin was that he exudes quiet confidence, like he knows exactly what he is doing and has done this a million times. Making the rounds between the doctors that I needed to see to get the approval of my insurance company only reinforced that opinion. I was at a local cardiology office having an echocardiograph and a paitent sitting in the waiting area overheard me telling the technician that I was scheduled to have an open gastric bypass operation with Dr. Brolin and when I exited the room, she stopped me and told me the she was sorry for eavesdropping but she heard me speaking about the surgery and wanted me to know that her husband had the same operation (open) performed by Dr. Brolin and has lost 200 lbs in the first year. She said that Dr. Brolin saved her husbands life and that she felt like he was the best in his field. I don't mind telling you that I was happy to hear that. The amazing thing is that type of thing happened more than once. The other nice thing about his office is that they are wonderfully compentent. His insurance person did exactly as he said he would, the young lady (Debbie) that is handling my paperwork and scheduling is great. They are comprehensive and very caring. I am excited about my upcoming surgery. I am scheduled for Jan 8, 2004."
