"I was scared to go to my appt today, but it was
needless anxiety. Dr. Aslam is pleasant, professional
and patient. He willing answered my questions (the
few I could remember)and put me on the surgery
schedule. We throroughly reviewed potential risks of
surgery, and he encourages modifying eating habits and
exercise level before surgery.
Office folks/nurses, etc are all warm, friendly and
helpful.
I feel comfortable and confident about the prospect of
Dr. Aslam performing my surgery.

A few after-the-fact observations: Dr. Aslam is a very
skilled surgeon and has a wonderful reputation with the
surgical floor nurses; he is quiet, soft spoken, responsive,
and very focused on his patients' well-being both present
and long term; questions are answered clearly and succinctly(sp?);
I value him even more now than ever. Dr Aslam stays focused
on the goal of helping us use WLS as a tool in our goal of
a healthy weight and lifestyle ... I'd be foolish to spend
time wishing he joked around more or acted like more of a 'buddy'
to me.
