"He was fantastic! He answered all my questions, put me at ease and when he found a hiatal hernia during the surgery, he just fixed it! He just saved me another trip to the hospital! They gave me a lot of information which I am still digesting. rnI have always had a great impression about him, I work with him on a weekly basis, I take care of his patients. My impression of him got better. He was so compassionate and professional. The office staff are fantastic, they don't dilly-dally, and have a great manner. There wasn't anything I didn't like about him or his staff. He will always answer any question you have, so don't hold back. rnThey give us the lap band packets to go over that discusses the diet aftercare, but he really didn't say anything about the aftercare with the incisions that are still healing. The aftercare program is structured. I meet with him, then with the bariatric institute. They strongly urge you to go to a support group. rnHe did address all the risks of surgery, as well all know, range from minor to death. rnOn a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best, I would rate him at a 10. Both surgical competence and bedside manner were outstanding. like I said, he was fantastic. "
