"STAFF IN CHARGE OF BARIATRIC PATIENTS IS EXTREMELY KIND AND RESPECTFUL. I WAS NEVER MADE TO FEEL ASHAMED FOR BEING WHO I WAS."

Laurence Tanaka

"my first impressin of dr.tanaka was that he was a very blunt, straight forward person. after meeting with him personally, i realized he was just exceptionally honest and professional. he does not beat around the bush when it comes to the proceedure and his expectations of you as a patient, before and after the surgery. everyone in his office is extremely kind and considerate when it comes to working with overweight people. the chairs in the waiting room come in three sizes, to accomodate from the largest patient all the way down to everyone at their goal weight. no more feeling like you might burst out of a chair. patients considering dr.tanaks for their surgery, should not be turned off by thee fact he is so straightforward. he is very kind and very professional. all the patients that are operated on by him, have the greatest success losing weight. he is a little more strict than the other surgeons in his office, but it is all for your benefit. when it comes to aftercare he can't stress enough how important it is for you to continue follow-up visits with him and your pcp. he was also very clear when he explains the risks of the proceedure, he also asks for your questions and concerns. rnat first i was hesitant about having dr.tanaka as my surgeon but after meeting him i immediately changed my mind. i would choose him all over again. i think dr.tanaka's surgical competence is much better than his bedside manner only because he comes to check over you and it all happens in an instant and you can be left wondering. but don't let that fool you, he is very kind. i would recomend him to anyone without hesitation."
