I heard about Dr. K by word of mouth. In 2006, word was there was a doctor in Colorado doing banding for under 10K to keep patients from going into Mexico (out of the country ) for surgery to save money. I called their office and found the staff friendly, open and informative. They sent me a packet. I decided to go with this doctor after reading other feedback on another forum, Lapbandtalk.com He presented my presurgical interview by phone sending me by email a Power Point. He was very methodical, not rushed, clear and easy to understand. As an educator, knowing what I was going to go through and having it explained so clearly was a very important thing to me. Meeting him in person, I was surprised to find him to be a slight man with a warm smile. His office was furnished... [Click here for more]

I have been very happy with my decision to use Dr K as my surgeon! His staff is WONDERFUL and he is EXTREMELY skilled. Over 10,000 laparoscopic procedures! He is very warm and friendly, and you can tell he really cares. His great sense of humor is icing on the cake! His self pay price is unbeatable in the US at just $9950. I was very happy with my surgery experience... no complications. I wish he was closer so I could continue follow-up care with him. I am so thankful his office staff is always VERY helpful via phone, and quickly responds to any email inquiries I have! I did feel like the phone consult with the nutritionist was short and not overly helpful. I had done tons of research on my own though, so I knew what to expect. I would go to Dr K again in a heartbeat.... [Click here for more]

Dr. K is great. The first time I met him he made me laugh out loud. He is very honest and does not leave people with false hope. He doesn't promise a fix-it-all. The office has an aftercare program. Mainly, it consists of a 1x per month support group and 1x a month check-in forms when you get a fill. I can see know after the fact that I need more support than this. It is not a complaint about Dr. K as I was misled to believe there was more support. Instead, it was just something I had to figure out on my own. If you have questions about Dr. K or about the band, I would love to share my personal experience.    Posted on 07/02/2008

I chose Dr Kirshenbaum due to the numerous positive reviews that I received by participating on LapBandTalk.com and ObesityHelp.com. He is a very experienced Lap Band Surgeon with a phenomenally low complication rate.    Posted on 05/24/2008

Dr Kirshenbaum performs lap-band only bariatric surgury. primarily cash-only patients. I came to him for the price (under 10k), but this does not lack in quality. He put me on a low-carb diet. Make sure you follow it! he explained what he was going to do to in surgury to prevent lap slippage and his program is awesome! He seems good at explaining what is going to happen and the surgury went without a hitch. see www.lapbandrockies.com for his website. His aftercare has been great. He is good at getting you at the right place on fills and he has a great staff.    Posted on 02/28/2008

I loved my doctor. He explained everything simply, clearly. I would recommend him to any one. What I also love is that he made the surgery affordable for people like myself whos insurance does not cover weight relaited surgery. The only thing was I did not feel extreemly "connected" to him. I was one of many, but he did his script well.    Posted on 02/24/2008

I had my Lap-Band surgery in July 2005. I have known Dr. Kirshenbaum for many years. He is an excellent surgeon, in fact he did my hernia surgery years ago. His office staff is wonderful and they will answer any questions you might have about the surgery, diet, hotels or other things. Dr. Kirshenbaum has done many out-of-state patients with minimal visits to his office. He is a terrific surgeon and comes highly recommended by many. I believe so much in this surgery and in Dr. Kirshenbaum that I have actually become his Bariatric Coordinator. I am happy to answer any questions you may have about the surgery or the post surgery care.    Posted on 02/22/2008
