"---Pre-op---
First impression: Very positive! He is very to the point.He made sure I understood the procedure and the dramatic lifestyle change that is forthcoming.He also addresses all the risks associated with WLS, surgical and post-operative. We discussed finacials and insurance coverage.
He is part of a group called "The Institute for the Treatment of Obesity". Debbie Thompson, RN, is the program director and is herself a bariatric success story! They truly approch obesity as a disease, not a lifestyle. They also have a comprehensive after-care program to assist the patient with post-operative issues and support. Dr. Dyer's fee includes one year of follow-up visits. He also stresses the importance of using the support group provided by the center, both pre-op as well as post-op.

"Has been my PCP for over 5 years. Very caring physician who prefers the method of the country doctor. HE is the one responsible for helping me get WLS approval from HealthSprings."
