"Christopher Larson the physicain's assistant was the first person I met with, then I met Dr. Shanu Kothari. My impression of them is the same for both. They were welcoming, friendly and professional. They put me at ease, asked questions of me, and listened well. They both described risks with weight loss surgery and reasons not to get it. It was clear that it was my choice, not theirs. The process and procedure was explained in detail. I felt free to ask questions and get them answered. The office staff is also friendly and professional. I do recommend this doctor and his services based on my experiences so far."
