"We were impressed that after an email requesting information Dr Pleatman called us. We were impressed with his knowledge and recommendation that my husband have a VSG vs the RNY. The helpfulness of his staff made this long distance medical trip run smoothly.rnJenny, Jo & Adele were very quick to help us and they were flexible with us when our flight from Portland, Oregon was delayed.rnThe VSG was performed at Doctors Hospital in Pontiac and the staff there was very professional and took excellent care of my husband that had the VSG 1/8/09rnWe felt confident going into this procedure about having Dr Pleatman and this was validated over and over as we talked to hospital staff during his aftercare. We learned that many of them had used Dr Pleatman for various surgeries or a member of their family had. Staff at hospital also said that he is very detailed and wants everything \"just right\". rnrnThat was very reassuring and we have never regretted the choice to travel by air 9 hours and to self pay for this chance of better health.rnrnWe would rate he as AAA in surgical competence and bedside manner.rnrnHighly recommend the VSG procedure and Dr Mark Pleatman."
