"My first impression was that Dr. Fares cared about his work and not just that he was recieving a paycheck for it. The office staff was very warm and greeted me with an open heart. The first Medical staff person I met was John Bock, he is the nutritionist on the Fares surgical team. John set a goal for me and promissed to make sure tht I reached it.My impression has not changed of any of the Fares surgical staff. I would reccomend Fares surgical to anyone in or out of my area that is looking for an awesome surigal staff that performs WLS. Aftercare is always talked about in my sessions. The team can not stress it enough the importance of taking care of the incisions and meds after the surgery. Surgical competence and bedside manner go side-by-side in my book, you need both as a medical professional. I have not had my surgery as of yet, but my date is set for Nov. 2, 2006. I will update my post as followed. I will also let all know of how it went and how I am treated before and after the procedure by the medical staff."
