"MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF DR BERTEL WAS THAT HE IS A KIND AND COMPASSIONATE PERSON WHO TRULY WANTS TO HELP OBESE PEOPLE GET A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE. THE STAFF IN HIS OFFICE IS ALSO VERY GOOD, REALLY IN TUNE WITH INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. I GUESS WHAT PEOPLE THINKING OF GOING TO SEE DR BERTEL SHOULD KNOW IS HE IS ONE OF THE BEST.rnAFTER CARE IS EMPHASIZED A GREAT DEAL WITH VISITS TO SEE SURGEON OR HIS PA EVERY 2-4 WEEKS UNTIL ABOUT 1 YEAR THEN YEARLYrnSURGICAL RISKS WERE DISCUSSED BUT NOT OVER DISCUSSED IN A MANNER TO DISCOURAGE THE SURGERY BUT THEY WERE GONE OVER. rnOVER ALL I WOULD SAY THAT DR CHARLES BERTEL IS ONE OF THE BEST SURGEONS DOING THIS SURGERY AND ANYONE WHO CHOOSES TO SEE HIM IS IN GOOD HANDS."
