"The decision to have weight loss surgery is a monumental one. It is frightening. From the moment you meet Dr. David Buchin and his staff, you are put at ease and come to understand that this is the best decision you can make for yourself. They give you all the alternatives and discuss which is the best procedure for you - all the pluses and minuses. From that moment on, he and his staff guide you through all that is necessary to achieve success. His skill as a surgeon is fantastic. Your aftercare does not stop when you leave the hospital or finish your follow-up visits. He and his PA. Sophia, lead support group meetings twice a month - no charge. They are always available if you have any questions or concerns. You are now part of the "family". This is a life-changing journey and they are the best guides you could possibly want or need. "
