"My father is a well known doctor and surgeon in Las Vegas but does not perform the gastric bypass. I researched several surgeons for my proedure and decided my Dad would be the best judge. I already knw in my heart that Dr. Higa was right for me. Dad told me Dr. Higa was the right man. He was a reader and was up to date on the proedures and he felt 100% confident in Dr. Higa. I liked Dr. Higa and his staff the frist time I met him to 1 post Op appoinment. He knew who I was and my name, I wasnt just another numbered person. He came to the hospital several times to check on me and the others that had it done that day. He talks to you about prior care and after car. He also gives you specific instructions for each week. I always came with a list a questins which he took the time to answer. He did address the risks and possible complications although in his practic he has had very little of either. He prepared me physically with the surgery to lose weight but he also prepared me mentally by telling me what feelings I may have after surgery. Dr. Higa was sooo fantastic! It took me 2 months to get my 1st appoinment with him but he was sooo worth the wait. He is the right man, I trustd him and I believe in him."
