"I really liked Dr. Bruderer the moment I met him. He was easy to talk to and answered all the questions I had. He and his office staff, especially his main nurse, Judy, were just wonderful. Whenever I had a question I just called and asked for her and she either got right on the phone or called me back right away, before and after surgery! Aftercare is very important. You get a big notebook that tells you exactly which foods you have and what to move on to next each week and it helps so much! He covered all the risks of surgery, plus of course the benefits, which in my case far outweighed the risks as far as I was concerned. I would recommend him to anyone!! His surgical competence and bedside manner are both wonderful and I would do this again in a heartbeat!!rnThe one thing I do think that is needed is more bloodwork, more often after surgery, that's my only worry. I did get my own PCP to do some blood work at 3 mos and at 6 mos, but Dr. Bruderer waits till 1 year. "
