"Dr Mattar is such a great doctor. He is very compassionate and considerate. He lead the seminar I went to and was extrememly knowledgeable and sincere. He was very competent, but he was not cocky. He had a wonderful bedside manner, which I think is very important. He was always upfront and honest about everything that was going on. The staff at Clarian Bariatric is great too, from the nurses to the dieticians. They are all so caring. They are very adamant about aftercare. They want to know how you are doing. I am extremely satisfied with my choice in Dr Mattar and Clarian Bariatric. I would recommend them to anyone. rnEven though I had a great doctor and the staff at his office were great, I did however have a few hospital staff I was not crazy about. Some were great while others seemed to be in such a hurry and were quick to forget what you asked. I also had some minor complications with the procedure. No matter how experienced your doctor, there is always the potential for soemthing to go wrong. Always make sure you know exactly what to expect before you go in. Don't be afraid to ask questions!"
