"I watched Dr. Onopchenko's Webinar about surgical weight loss procedures and was very impressed with the amount of information that was presented. He put everything into laymens terms so that it is understandable. He is very knowledgeable and seems to be very good at what he does. He requires all his prospective patients to attend a seminar before you can make an appointment for your initial consultation. He is very concerned about informing his patients. I am impressed with Dr. Onopchenko and his program. My intial consultation is scheduled for 5/8/06. I look forward to meeting with him. I will update after my consult.rnrnrnrn8/11/06rnJust a quick update about Dr. O and his staff. When I met Dr. O I was very impressed with his demeanor and his concern for me. He was very open to questions and I did not feel rushed. I walked away feeling that I had made a good decision in chosing him to be my surgeon. Now a word about his staff. -- These people are wonderful. I have called the office several times with questions and was never made to feel that I was being a bother to whomever I spoke to. I have gone into the office to drop off paperwork and the ladies have gone out of their way to help me with what I needed to do in order to get all of my pre-op testing done. Kathy even called the sleep lab while I was in her office and gave me the phone so that I could set up an appt. This on a day when I was getting the runaround from my insurance company and was not having a good day. I would say that Dr. O is well represented by his staff, Kathy, Doreen, Laurie, Mary Beth are all a compliment to him. And that says a lot."
