"I decided after my first try at the gastric bypass surgery failed because I became pregnant, that I would try another physician who was now in network with my new insurance. I went to a Seminar by Dr. Mark Kligman from the University of Maryland and loved him. Even in his seminar, he was straight forward and seemed very educated and nice. At the first office visit, he made sure that I met with his nurse, and nutrionist as well as set me for pre-op studies even without finished the 6mth supervised diet. You can meet that criteria within his office. I can not wait until my surgery is approved and scheduled, and I know that I am in good hands.rnIn the hospital Dr. Kligman was very professional and you can definately tell that he is well respected. The staff state that he demands excellence...this is something that you want in a surgeon.rn"
