Each time I saw him I felt more comfortable and he seemed more personable.
How would you describe his/her office staff?
Awesome. They are great.
What did you like least about him/her?
Not really about him but sometimes it is
hard to talk to a live person when you call in. You have to leave a message and get a returned call.

Very important~

Yes. It is outlined at your first visit.
How did he/she address the risks of surgery?
He told me the risks of surgery and obesity.
How would you rate him/her overall?
Very good.
Which is better, surgical competence, bedside manner, or are both great?
