"I had surgery in June 2006 with Dr. Julie Ellner in San Diego, CA. rnI was impressed with her knowledge and understanding of obesity issues and her confidence in her skills as a surgeon. She explained the different surgeries and the risks involved in all types. After hearing her lecture I knew that she was the right surgeon for me.rnMy surgery was performed at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego. The hospital staff was wonderful during the procedure. The care I've received since that time (via telephone) from Dr. Ellner's office staff has always been exceptional as well. Someone is always there to answer my questions and provide support.rnDr. Ellner also provides us with a manuel that answers many questions that come up both before and after surgery. I feel that I made the right choice in both having bariatric surgery and in choosing Dr. Julie Ellner as my surgeon. rn"
