"My first impression of Dr. P is that she is very caring and up front. She gave me the information and told me what I should be doing. Her office staff is great. I had no trouble getting approved through insurance and currently working on my short term disability. I like that Dr. P doesn't pull any punches. She tells it like it is. Dr. Pupkova has an extensive surgery record and in her words \"has crafted her technique.\" \"Stick to the program.\" You will be very successful. The Batrix Clinics in Langhorne is a very constructed before & after care facility. Dr. P will go over both types with you but will push for the RNY over the lapband. The lap band was not for me. It is to much maintenance. I would rate Dr.P at this time very satisfactory. I work in a hospital in Philadelphia, and can honestly say surgical competence comes first but their bedside better be the same. I would go for both. "
