"I live in PA, my daughter had gastric bypass in hershey PA. The doctor made a mistake while doing her surgery and no one in my area could or would help her because she was a patient of someone else. I googled specialist in troubled gastric bypass surgery and got his name. He called me the next day and was very concerned for her health. He talked to her family doctor and he would not call insurance company and tell them she needed to see him. So, he told me what I needed to do. We got her to the ER at Beth Israel in NYC. He told them we were on our way. He admitted her and she was there for about 7 weeks. He ran all kinds of test to rule out different types of things. He revised her surgery and got her to a hospital here near our home. To me, he went out of his way to make sure she had the care she needed. She could not walk so he had her do intense therapy and she did great. He saved her life!!! I have more respect for Dr. Goodman than I do most of the doctor's in my area!!! THANK YOU DR. GOODMAN!!!!!

"I heard alot about Dr. Ku even before I made my decision to have lap band. There are alot of people in my area that he did lapband on. My daughter worked with a woman who went to Dr. Ku and my husband works with a woman who also had him as her surgeon and everything is going great with her. I figured I was going to end up going to him anyway because he is in the hospital where my specialty doctors are and I trust that hospital. When I had my consult, he was so down to Earth and took his time and talked to my husband and I about what to expect and the procedure. He was someone that I knew right away that I would definately want to be my surgeon. I felt comfortable. I ony wish things did not take sooo long to get to the surgery day, but I totally understand why!! Best of luck to all!!!! I took my daughter to Dr. Goodman because her doctor in PA made a mistake with her gastric bypass surgery. She was basically starving to death. She could not walk, she could not keep anything down. Not even water. This went on for about 2 months before I found Dr. Goodman. He is the most wonderful doctor I have met. He is brilliant. When I spoke to him on the phone and described to him what she was going thru, he knew exactly what was going on before ever even meeting her. He was very concerned. There were insurance issues that he fought with them about. I am so thankful for him. I would advice anyone to go to Dr. Goodman. No matter how far you have to travel. If he did the Lap Band, I would go to him. Thank You Doctor Goodman......We love you!!!!!"
