"Dr. Benn is amazing in his competent knowledge and improvements for WLS. He is very 'genuine' when explaining the procedure and post-effects from surgery. He allows 'stupid' questions, and is approachable while being so professional and not at all intimidating. On a scale of one to ten, I rate him as fifteen! The FVSD aftercare program is excellent! There's positive, informative support from his medical assistant, a wonderful nutritionist, plus physical therapist to ensure we know the program, what's expected of the individual after attaining this invaluable tool for life and body transformation.

"I've been in therapy with Dr. Maidman since May 2004. Only upon my mentioning my PCP's recommendation for weight-loss surgery end of March 2006, did I find out her specialty is WLS> I have continued seeing her bi-weekly from surgery to the present, and this therapy has been invaluable along the body/mind transformation."
"Fairview-Southdale has the BEST WLS in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Have gotten many less favorable comments from clients at other numerous programs. Dr. Paul Benn teaches other bariatric surgeons--he revised the staple/and suture new pouch method which has greatly reduced complications in his patients."
