"I heard about Dr Samuel's from my sister n laws friend. He had the surgery and just raved over Dr Samuel's. I became interested in the surgery after following the success of Carnie Wilson. So after hearing this guy talk so highly about Dr Samuel's, I made an appointment. My 1st impression of him was.."WOW, he is so tiny" Everyone one there was so nice and most of all so compassionate. I had my consultation with a couple that had researched every Dr in the State of Florida and openly admitted that Dr Samuel's was the ONLY Dr that they liked and felt comfortable with. After hearing my sister n laws friend talk about him and meeting him and then hearing this couple talk about him, my mind was made up. Dr Samuel's would be my surgeon. I had complete faith in him. He completly explained the procedure that he does and why he prefers that procedure over others. He has you meet ongoing with Psychologists and Dieticians and personally meets with you at every visit instead of leaving it up to his staff. He is very knowledgeable, experienced and very polite. "
