I finally got to meet Dr.Ben-David at my pre-op consult. He seems to be a very intelligent and confident doctor, and witty too. He mad me feel comfortable and reassurred. I give him a thumbs up. Also the entire staff is awesome and my hat goes off to Amelia and the other young ladies in that department, they must have the gift of patience. LOL The entire surgical team was great AND VERY INFORMATIVE and findley the dietitian was very informative the way she explained everything made it seem like the diet is going to be easy to follow.

My first impression of Dr. Ben-David has been great so far. His office person Amelia is so helpful. I have had to reschedule my surgery three times now (so I would understand greatly if she were to grow frustrated).
I am now scheduled for January 20th (I will see Dr. Ben-David in clinic on the 8th to do my pre op).
My two clinic appointments as well as the mandatory seminar have been very informative and I feel Dr. Ben-David's up front and open approach makes it extremely easy to talk to him regarding any concerns or issues.
I will keep you posted as my date gets closer. Posted on 12/29/2008 |

I saw he actually care about me as a person. At first he comes across and a bit standoffish, but as you work with him more you begin to see that he actually cares about how you are doing.His interns came to see me twice a day and were very pleasant and knowledgable Posted on 12/25/2008 |

Handsome and kind- first impression. He took at least an hour to speak with me during the first appt. I could tell that he really cared. Posted on 11/10/2008 |

He is a very personable doctor. I felt very comfortable discussing the surgery with him.
He answered all of my questions.
Right before surgery he asked if I would consider the lapband instead of the RNY. I said yes. After surgery it turned out that it was a good thing we changed to the band.
I feel that he is a talented, compassionate and caring doctor. He has a sense of humor yet is a professional. Posted on 05/14/2008 |

He is one of the most caring Drs. His staff is incredibly helpful with everything. They made sure I had everything I needed and helped through the whole insurance nightmare. I would recomment him to any and everyone that is interested in this type of surgery. Posted on 03/22/2008 |

My surgeon will be Dr. Ben-David who is with Surgical Associates of Shands @ UF. My first impression of him was FANTASTIC. He was very down-to-earth and approachable, explained everything to me, and answered all of my questions. He made me feel very confident about the surgery and him as a surgeon. He went into detail about aftercare, which was a concern of mine so I was glad to hear that. So far, I think he's awesome!
**Update: I had my surgery on February 25th, 2008. Dr. Ben-David was great, I think he's a very skilled surgeon who also has a great bedside manner. He made me feel very comfortable, as he has a very low-key personality, but he also is very confident in his abilities and made me feel at ease. Everything went well, I am 6 days post-op and feeling good! Posted on 03/02/2008 |
