"knew him from past esperiences. one of if not the best surgeon/bariatric surgeon in the field. very knowlegable and always learning to improve his technique, leasves minor scars after surgery. His staff is extremely good. They love him and do thei job with the utmost professionalism. And I am not just saying this; I believe everything I am writing with every fiber of my being. Stress aftercare to the utmost. the aftercare program is very explicit. he tells you all the risks before, during and post surgery; Overall. on a 1 - 10 he and his entire staff are 10!!! Surgical competence is tantamount; bedside manners are a plus, He and his staff have both. Nothing negative to say"
