"My first impression of Dr. Pennings is that he seems very caring. Over the coarse of the first consultaion I thought he was pretty kick back and straight forward with what the problems could be. rnrnThe staff at Surgical Bariatrics North West is, well, amazing. They make you feel comfortable, relaxed and important. They are all very caring and friendly. I especially like Sue the nurse. She is an amazingly upbeat and nice person. rnrnI like least about Dr. Pennings, ummmm I didn't really have anything that I didn't like about him. I will have to come back to this.rnrnI think that you should know that Dr. Pennings is considered by many to be the best bariatric surgeon around. He is confident in what he does and if he doesn't feel 100% about something, he will take care of it before going on.rnrnHe emphasizes after care hugely. There are exercise programs, nutritional programs and post op group programs that he has for you.rnrnHe addressed the risks of surgery very straight forward. No candy coating but with confidence in his abilities. rnrnI would rate him overall a 10 out of 10.rnrnI will have to have more time with him to answer anything negative about him. "
