"Dr. Shikora was wonderful. He took a lot of time in the initial consult to discuss all risks and benefits of the procedure. He confirmed that I understood everything and encouraged questions. rnrnOn the day of the surgery, he greeted me warmly and told me they were right on schedule (according to the nurses, he is always on schedule :).rnrnHe made sure to visit me several times after the procedure was complete. He assured me that everything went fine and, again took time to make sure he answered any questions that I had. rnrnThe staff was always very friendly and helpful, the surgeon has a wonderful bedside manner and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering a lap-band or RNY procedure.rn"
