"My first impression of Dr. Magnuson was that he was very smart and understanding about my situation. The doctor did not get excited when he heard that I had Lupus and was taking prednisone. He was positive that he could help me and that I would still be healthy after the surgery.
My impression of Dr. Magnuson has not changed. My surgery date is Sept. 9, 2005 and I will update this site after the surgery. But Valerie and the Doctor are great."
"He is a person who will give you advice as well as treat you. The advice he gives is valuable and he does not make you feel like a big fat loser. My weight has changed a lot over the last eight years and he has not made me feel like I was a failure for gaining weight."
