"When I first met Dr. gabriel I had a good feeling about him and his practice and thought that I had made the right choice when I picked him, I was told that I was a great candidate for a lapband and was scheduled to have my surgery in june of 2010 but I needed to have my gall bladder removed because of a 4 cm stone. Once I had my gall bladder removed I was on schedule to have my lap band procedure 6 weeks later only to be called by the office manager 2 weeks prior to surgery and told that I was being bumped due to a triple overlap in booking. I was rescheduled for six months later, which was the earliest opening that he had and again, just a couple of weeks before this second appointment I was called and told the same excuse of being one of four people scheduled for a surgery on the same day and time. The office assistant, I think his name was mike told me that the next surgery available would be the following june or july of 2011. It was at that point that I cancelled my plans to get a lap band with this office. All the pre op testing gone to waste. I should have done more homework before selecting this office to do my procedure."
