"I went to one of Dr. Woodman's seminars last November, and was very impressed with his honesty and completeness in discussing bariatric surgery. His staff is excellent, and he does answer e-mail - I sent him a question about taking meds on my surgery day, and got a message back from him the next day. I know he's a busy doctor, but I talked to him both before and after surgery, as well as when I was discharged the next day. He is adamant in making sure that you know that this surgery is only a tool for weight-loss, not a magic wand cure. They have sessions with a psychologist for support, as well as a dietitian who meets with patients at the office. I think I made a good choice."
