He is very businesslike. He was a bit scattered when I met him as it was his second day at SA Bariatric and was still finding his way around. My immediate impression was that I liked him a lot. I felt very comfortable with him, and think he is very kind.
The office staff at SA Bariatric is hit and miss. Jessica is extremely helpful, and I would recommend you ask for her by name. The others, one girl in particular, are sometimes rude and seem to give conflicting information. You must really push to get the answers you want (and to make sure your paperwork gets done in a timely manner)
SA Bariatric has a wonderful aftercare program...that is partly why I chose the surgeons there. They are with you for life.
I think their program at SA Bariatric is great. They are very knowledgeable and upfront with both the good and bad aspects of this surgery. Unfortunately, they are in high demand and if you go through insurance, you will have to wait for almost 2 years just to get a seminar appointment. They do make you go to a seminar first before your first consultation, but that is so you are fully aware of the consequences of this surgery.
I would rate SA Bariatric great based on what I know so far. Dr. Duperier was very helpful and patient with me, and I feel comfortable in his surgical skills.
