"I met Dr. Goodman at the beginning of Oct. and I think he is a wonderful person. He was attentive and did not rush the appointment. He seems extremely comfortable working with obese people. His office staff is very helpful and are always available when I call with a question. I was able to meet some of his post-op patients and I haven't heard a single negative comment. His office hours are very accomodating for a work schedule. I am very immpressed so far and will update when I am post-op. The only negative thing I found was that the office I went to had only arm chairs, which can be very uncomforable for the obese person.
12/4/02-Well I had my surgery 2 weeks ago today...and I have to say Dr. Goodman and Dr. Halup are a Godsend. I feel wonderful and they did such a great job. No Complications. He has a great bedside manner and his skills are remarkable. I had open RNY and my scar is only 4 inches long. I will post more in the future."
