"Dr. Moazzez made a favorable first impression though my initial visit was not for a bariatric consult. After speaking to my PCP, I decided to go back for the consult. Dr. M's office personnel (very friendly!!!) made sure that I attended an information lecture/forum first. Though I did a lot of online research, the lecture was informative and was conducted by D. M! I was even more assured - and didl not at all pressured - with the consultation. Dr. Moazzez made sure during the lecture that everyone knew the risks, the follow up and commitment needed by the patients...and that WLS is a TOOL. He reiterated all that during the consult also. Risks, assurance, commitment, follow up, follow through, support, and knowledge are what is repeated. The Metrobariatrics New Patient Manual :) is very helpful also. Dr. M has a contract for his patients that gives you even more to consider...and to now what you need to do to contribute to your success. I love that comorbidity factors are known and considered with Dr.M (being 'certifiably sweet' - my term for diabetic) - it matters! Dr M is great and I appreciate the past performance surgical competence and great bedside manner! Both are SO important and he (and my PCP) have my confidence based on that! Everyone comments that the staff is welcoming (they are) and Dr M is cute (YES!)...add me as echoing that. I am looking forward to the diabetes help with the \"side result\" of being thinner/healthier! As to any negatives - ? "
