" My first impression of Dr.Lyass was via/email correspondence with him. After searching and calling at least 20 surgeons throughout California I stumbled across Dr. Lyass. I sent him and email on a Sunday and a few hours later I got a personal response from him.rnI thought that someone was probably playing with me or \"posing\" as a Doctor, but it was no joke. He personally answers his e mails the same day. His staff was always there to answer questions, but most importantly they are respectful, polite and perform their jobs without skipping a beat.rnrnMy impression has only changed in a more positive direction as Dr. Lyass is an honest man and a skilled surgeon.rnrnI would encourage anyone who is considering bariatric surgery to send him an e mail and ask any questions you would like.rnrnI was set up with a nutritionist to cover all of my before and after care.rnDr. Lyass scheduled a consultation for me and sat down with me to explain what procedures my insurance would pay for and then went on to educate me on how each procedure is done. We also discussed the risks of surgery.rnHe gave me a binder full of information to read covering all areas of the surgery process.rnrnDr.Lyass is the best in my opinion.rnI always felt that I had chosen the right surgeon. He is a very nice man, and has great skill, competence and confidence.rnrnThank you Dr. Lyass for you patience and for giving me another chance for a healthy life.rnSincerely, Jeannine Deaville."
