"Dr. Kurian first strikes you as young, professional, competent and confident, yet is more than willing to spend the time it takes to answer your questions and fully brief you on the various WLS options available. She stresses the importance of aftercare and patient compliance as vital components of WLS success. Her bedside manner is excellent and very calming. I never questioned that I was in the best of all possible hands for my procedure.
Her aftercare includes monthly appointments with her and working with her nutritionist, who is well-versed in the differences between the various WLS. She also holds support meetings with her colleague, Dr. Roslin.
Her office staff is very responsive and patient with our questions and anxiety.
The most successful patients of WLS have surgeons who work in partnership toward their success and Dr. Kurian fully believes in this and actively participates in her patients' aftercare.
The only even remotely negative comment I have is that when she heard which insurance company I was with, she warned me that since I had no co-morbidities, they would almost certainly come back with a requirement for a 6-12 month Dr-supervised diet. So this put me off getting my paperwork done due to fear of being turned down and/or being forced to do yet another unsuccessful diet. My fear was in vain, however, since they came back with an immediate approval. *whew*"
