"Dr. Searles is well respected in the medical community here in Anchorage. He has a great staff, a silly ( in a good way) receptionist and a pretty wife. He's a young aspergerist type guy, Unshaken by my two wild-a... children. The most remarkable thing is that everywhere I went I was told Grant Searles was the most personable and skilled bariatric surgeon in Alaska. I do not believe he has a structured aftercare program however it is something I was told he is wanting to start. I have not yet had surgery. I therefore am not able to comment on Searles, aftercare, However, I will be willing to update you. My overall opinion is he cares about me as a person and treats me, and the other clients i've seen him interact with, with dignity and respect. "
