"He was very nice, easy on the eyes and very compasionate. My impression pretty much stayed the same. the office staff is friendly but I had major problems with whether they accepted my bcbsppo or not. my first appt they said we have bad news, we are in dispute or negotiations with bcbs about money and will be done with bcbs so sorry, out of pocket is 8000. I left depressed because I waited a month for the consultation then had it then was told about my ins. then a week later I called back and they said we are accepting bcbs til dec 15th. So I ran around like a mad women getting all my appts. done. then several times the office called me and said they werent taking my ins. and I had to tell them to get together cause they were til the 15th this was very stressful....in the end I had the surgery dec 5th and they take my insurance even now.Dr peters requires nutrition classes and makes sure you have a full understanding of the commitment of rny. He discussed the complications and explained what most of his pts have had,and he also discussed its much safer these days and what the improvements are over previous years. I think Dr Peters is excellent.Surgical competence means more, skill of the surgeon but if the doctor has lousy bedside manner then I would contact another dr. til I found both...Dr Peters and Dr Iragau have both"
