"Dr. Bermudez is very thorough and helped me to understand all that was involved in my Lateral Belt Lipectomy procedure. He took time to address the questions I had at my Pre Surgical office appointment. He has a good understanding of the special needs of massive weight loss patients. Dr. Bermudez has a good approach to address the reconstructive work that bariatric patients have need for during hospitalization and the post op care phase."
"The following information is based on my personal experience with wls.
When I met Dr. Feng at the consultation appointment, he seemed friendly and wanted to learn about my medical history, lifestyle, and interests. He took a considerable amount of time to explain the WLS options that were available laporoscopically for my consideration. He also talked about the benefits and risks associated with each one. Dr. Feng is a thoughtful person.
After surgery, he spoke with my wife about the procedure, what took place and helped her to learn more about what to expect post-op, both in hospital and the first few weeks at home. They spoke about dietary and necessary nutritional suppliments.
LapSF, the practice, has a very helpful staff. Every time I needed information they were able to assist. The practice has a great surgical nurse that assists in bariatric surgery at St. Luke's! Shawna walked me through what to expect prior to surgery and then answered many questions post-op. She stopped by each afternoon to check in and learn of my progress.
When Dr. Feng came in on my last day at the hospital, he provided a comprehensive booklet for post-op care that included nutritional and excercise information. He has been responsive via email to answer any questions and is concerned about after care. Both his surgical competence and bedside manner are great!

"The professionalism and cordiality of the hospital support and nursing staffs helped to make the whole experience wonderful. I was able to walk the floor within four hours post recovery. By day 2, even "got out" to the foyer in my walking time. Everyone was so helpful. This made for a good experience!"
