"My first impression of Dr. Svendsen was that he is very easy to talk with, he explained the procedure and was frank with the risks involved. He answered all my questions without being abrupt. After surgery, I am even more impressed by his skill and bedside manner. He checked on me each day and was very open to questions. I had no complications and was out and about moving around very quickly. The aftercare program is very structured and thorough. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Svendsen and his group to others considering WLS."
