Thomas Magnuson
"Dr. Magnuson presents as a highly qualified and competent surgeon. I was never scared of the surgery because I could just tell. Although he moves very quickly, I could often engage him in a friendly discussion. I never felt as if he was talking down to me, and I felt that he did this surgery because he wanted to help people like me. He fully informed me of the procedure and it's risks. I'm not sure that Johns Hopkins bariatric surgery program is as developed as it should be in the sense of aftercare programs. I wasn't given information on wound care, bathing, what to look for, or signs of problems. I ended up going back in the hospital because I became dehydrated and had pain in my side. The pre-op program is phenomenal, especially nutrition. I would highly recommend him (and have)over some of the profit mills that are opening around here."

Ashley Cohen
"This nutritionist is not your typical "you must" nutritionist. She is friendly, flexible, and almost more excited about my surgery than I am! She presented techniques and suggestions that I can LIVE with, and I felt completely confident that I could handle the nutritional aspects post surgery because I know she'll be there for me."
