"My inital Consult was with Dr. JB, however when I went in today May 2, 2006 for my 30 day follow-up to my surprise I found out Dr. JB was no longer w/ the group. However Dr. Fares, the Chair will be performing my surgery as I am told he is very good. Keeping my fingers crossed. However when I met w/ Dr. JB I felt very uncomfortable w/ having Gastric Bypass, so I decided to go w/ the Gastric LapBand surgery. UPDATE: I have since left the practice in Hamilton and have been Seeing Dr. JB in his new Planifield Office. The experience has been GREAT! I am scheduled for Lap Band Surgery on Thursday, Nov. 9! The process went really smooth and his new staff is GREAT. I am a little nervous but excited. I know this will be a journey with ups and downs but I am truly excited to be on the losing side for ONCE in my life! Dr. JB is very patient and attentive. You can tell he's a doctor that cares, that makes all the difference. He was very detailed w/ me and did not try to pressure me on which procedure I should go through with he was honest and told me to draw my own conclusion. I believe he is a well rounded dr. with great manners and very well informed."
