"I had heard good things about Dr. Weinstein prior to my consultation visit with him. He was very helpful. My mother is very worried about me having this type of surgery. I took her to my visit with me and Dr. Weinstein was able to reassure her about some of her concerns. I had researched different weight loss surgeries and he was able to answer any questions I had about my options. He went ahead and gave me literature on the aftercare program he advises. When you have a good surgeon with good doctor-patient relationships, the outcome is sure to be great. The only bad thing is his scales in the office only go up to 350 lbs., so I had to walk miles and miles( it seemed like anyway) to the scales in the hospital."
