"I work in the health care field and am lucky to have first hand knowledge of the work that some of the bariatric surgeons in my area do. Since I'm a RN in the ICU, I see when some of these surgeries go wrong. That is why I chose my surgeon Dr S. Burpee. Before I even considered WLS, I felt Dr Burpee was an exceptional surgeon. He has a great bedside mannor, very compassionate, and is very easy to work with (coming from a nurse, that is a compliment). So, when my plastic surgeon suggested the lap band surgery and gave me a refferal to another Dr, I didn't even think twice before I booked an appointment with Dr Burpee. Although, it was very stressful and time consuming, I was able to schedule my pre-op appiontments and have my surgery completed within 4 weeks!! I denfinately would recommend Dr Burpee to anyone!"
