"Dr. Bodner was friendly and open, relaxed and answered my questions easily. He was very frank and open about the risks and explained the procedure clearly. I was confortable with him, and his staff was very friendly and caring. I went through an extensive interview and psychological counselling process prior to getting approved, and Dr. Bodner had me lose 20 lbs. prior to surgery. I think that was a way to get me geared toward the changes I must make for the future, and to show that I could make the changes needed to improve my health after surgery, long term. I highly recommend him and his staff!"
