"Dr. Blackstone is a very smart and caring doctor. At her seminar she produce information not only about weightloss surgery,but about obesity. And theories of what causes obesity.She spoke about the dangers of having the surgery as well as not having it. Her before surgery care and after care is wonderful and carefully thought out. I have monthly checkups in her office, and must see her dietician and excerise specialist throughout the first year. Her office staff are very friendly and efficient. And give you lots of written info at each visit on what to expect for each month. My experience with Dr. Blackstone and her staff has been pleasant and supportive."
