"My first impression of Dr. Babineau was that he sure is skinny!! He looks like a marathon runner or bicycle racer. He is very handsome with blond long hair that he wore in a pony tail. He was very friendly, a little quiet acting, but very gentle and took his time to answer all questions and was very informative. He explained that he has performed at least 2000 gastric bypass surgeries so that made me feel very comfortable right off the bat. I would want a surgeon with surgical competence over bedside manner, but I think I have found both in Dr. Babineau. I have my surger on 10/30/09 so I will know more after that!!"
