Christopher Salvino
"My surgeon is Dr. Christopher Solvino at the WISH Center in Downers Grove, IL. My first impression of him was he's a very soft-spoken man. But so easy to talk to. He tells you everything just like it is. No guessing with him, which is great. Everyone at the WISH Center was wonderful! They made it very easy to relax and open up with them. The whole staff, which includes the psychiatrist, dietician, exercise physiologist, nurses, billing personnel, were all excellent. The WISH Center puts a tremendous amount of their focus on aftercare. They have computer-based training that you must go through before surgery and a great support program for after surgery. They put you on a practice diet before-hand so you know what you'll be dealing with afterwards. The dietician and exercise physiologist follow-up with you on a regular basis to see how things are going and if there is anything they can do to help. The risks of surgery were addressed numerous times: in the seminar (on-line and live), in the computer-based training modules and they were discussed with the surgeon on numerous occasions. He laid everything out for me so there was nothing hidden from me. I would recommend the WISH Center to anyone. They are a wonderful group of people. Many of them have had the surgery themselves. I have had an incredible experience with them."
