"My research indicated he was the best in my area and is a national proctor. I met him at a seminar and was quite impressed. I've met with the nurse practitioner of his practice twice now. She is really great. My patient advocate is the best and everyone else I've spoken with is very helpful. rnrnI attended the pre-op education class, which I found very informative and thorough. They covered everything I could think of and I really had no questions afterward. They gave us some really great samples of many vitamins and protein drinks that we could use after surgery. rnrnI will be meeting with Dr. Lavin for discussion of my surgery and signing consents on October 12, 2006. I'll update after that."
