"I was very impressed with Dr Brader when I went to his group consult. He is very knowledgeable, and doesnt BS you. He tells you exactly what you will get from him, and what he expects from you. I was told he is worth the wait, and I agree. He is very nice, and really cares about his patients. Dr Brader explained everything clearly, and I came out of the consult knowing he was the doctor for me. He tells you what works, and if you do what he says, you will lose weight. He has taught surgery to others, so you know he knows his stuff! His OR staff and nurses are great, very nice and put you at ease. Having said all that, I havent been all that impressed with his office staff. The girls that take your vitals are rather curt, and they take forever to return calls. I know they are busy, but they should hire more people. I am still waiting for someone to call me back from last week so I can make my 3 month followup. "
