"Well, I saw him for the first time at the weight loss surgery seminar in November 2010. He really impressed me and that is why I chose him. I first met him for my first appointment in December 2010. I felt very comfortable with him and knew I had made the right choice. He is a very nice man and has a great bedside manner. He knows a lot about what he does!!! I really like the fact that he is there for you after the surgery too. He thinks that is a very important part of your success and it is. I am looking forward to Dr. Portenier doing my surgery!!!!"
