Scripps Green Hospital - La Jolla

"My only concern (back in 1999 when I had this surgery) was that the nursing staff had NO IDEA about pain medications for WLS patients. They gave me the wrong stuff TWICE and insisted I take it; making me incredibly ill for several hours. Now in 2007 I'm confident that they have been more properly educated into what a WLS patient can take in terms of oral medications and pain management."

Ken Fujioka

"I've been a patient of Dr. Fujioka's for over 5 years and can say that over the years he has developed into a wonderful support for the gastric bypass patient as he assists them with pre-op and post-op lifestyle and eating habit changes. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in pursuing gastric bypass surgery. (sidenote:) His staff is also a complete delight to interact with."

Scott Miller

"Dr. Miller and his entire staff take exceptional pride in the work that they do and put out 110% to see that their patients are completely satisfied. They make themselves available 24/7 and have an excellent follow-up program for all of their clients. The work he did for me with my abdominoplasty and brachioplasty is absolutely beautiful."

Mathew Brunson

"My first impression is that he is a caring, concerned and skilled individual. He was incredibly thorough in my initial consultation and spent at least an hour with me. He also has a gentle sense of humor and was completely honest and open with me concerning the possible complications and obstacles I could face in the near and even very distant future. I really appreciated that about him. He also stressed the importance of being prepared BEFORE the surgery with behavior modification as well as being set for aftercare by having a relationship developed with a counselor of some sort. At three months post-op I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Brunson and his staff. They've been wonderful from the beginning. I find that I am more impressed with him with each follow-up visit. I'm so glad I chose him to be my surgeon. "
