"I had read a lot about Dr Deron Ludwig on the internet and was impressed with the comments from prior and current patients of his. I called the office and the staff was just great. Kimberely was just wonderful in explaining the process while I related to her that I was just \"looking\". She was both professional and enjoyable while talking to her on the phone. rnWhen I met Dr. Ludwig for the first time I was immediately put at ease for some reason. He is a younger man than I anticipated but very knowledgable and experienced in WLS so that made me feel very good. His ability to relate well with those of us at this particular consult meeting was something that also impressed me. He took a lot of time explaining the surgery and various aspects of WLS and did a through job of giving us opportunity to ask questions. I left that meeting after a quick physical exam, with the knowledge and confidence I felt I needed to make a responsible and confident decision to proceed with the surgery. "
