"He was very easy to talk to, very knowledgable. He made sure I knew what the procedure did, HOW weight is lost, and any risks or complications. He is chief of laprocopic surgery and does approx 8 of the bariatric surgeries per week. Has no problem converting to open if need arises. As part of a group, I didn't see him much, that I didn't like. He saw me at consultation, breezed by preop, and then at 3 week appt. Other than that, I saw his staff (who are also quite knowledgeable) or other docs. Never saw him postop in hospital. He has a book(let) on pre & post op care, treatment, diet. At 6 months, my incisions are faint, healed well, and I feel good. I feel he's a great doctor with good bedside manner, when you see him, but he's real busy. You can call his staff anytime with concerns, night or day. I feel the hospital staff was somewhat unresponsive to requests and need more training re: obese peoples. "
