"From Detroit, Michigan I Did a 1 1/2 year research on Dr. Micheal H. Wood,with over 25 years of surgical experience,and a extensive back ground in weight loss surgery. I than met Dr. Wood he is great.rnthe staff was very friendly, kind concerned and most of all ( professional).rnhe has done over (4) thousands gastric surgeries, and he is the co-founder of the Sapala-Wood Micropouch.All of his surgeries are performed at Harper University Hospital.which is a Center of Excellence, they also have a whole floor dedicated to GBS.rnhe emphaizes very much on aftercare its not just a tool to help lose weight but turning your health around living longer.Changing your life style is a must your mental thinking plays a major part, the best being able to get off some medications if not (all) completely.rnthey are both great. I give Dr. Wood and Dr. Taylor 110. there is nothing negative I can say or have found. go to MyABMI.COM search the two surgeons out."
