"Dr. Nease is incredible. He has chosen this specialty because of a personal family history. This was one of the selling points for me. He does not judge you or treat you like a number in the "weight loss factoy". My first impression was that he is a truely caring physican, and this is the same impression I have today. He has a wonderful office staff who share his philosophy and caring nature. I feel his entire program is well thought out and well planned. You are required to attend pre and post-op classes and he and his staff are available to answer the multitude of questions that arise. So far, the aftercare program has been very helpful to me. The post-op nutrition class was especially informative. Not only do I think Dr. Nease a personable guy, but I feel he is a very competant sugeon. My surgery was without any complications and so far, I am very pleased with my recovery. I cannot say enough nice things about this man, his skills, his program, and his staff. In my opinion, he greatly improved my life more than I could have on my own."
