"I would highly recommend Dr. Katzen to all my friends, family and neighbors!!! He's absolutely wonderful. Dr. Katzen is very caring, supportive and understanding of the needs of his weight loss surgery patients. He's encouraging, confident, sincere, full of integrity, personable and never lets you leave the office with an unanswered question or concern. Dr. Katzen is the kind of the doctor you only pray for/dream about and you actually receive live and in person. Someone who really cares about you and makes you feel good about yourself.
As an obese person most of my life, most doctors made me feel small and insignificant. Not so with Dr. Katzen. From Day One, he treated me with dignity, love, respect and empathy. Having lost 230 pounds, I had a fatty apron of fat hanging down to mid-thigh. Thanks to Dr. Katzen and his miracle body lift, I had 30 pounds of fat and skin removed and suddenly I had a real body. I still need more work but when the time comes to having more surgery, the only doctor I will consider is Dr. Katzen. You could offer me a free Extreme Makeover with Dr. 90210, but I wouldn't give it a moment thought when compared to Dr. Katzen. That's how highly impressed and satisfied I am with him.
So go ahead and check out other surgeons...I did. Trust me--you'll come back to Dr. Katzen in a hot minute :-)

"My doctor is Dr. My-Lan Le-Nguyen at Kaiser - Mission Viejo. She has been very supportive and helpful in getting me approved for WLS. She's been very good about learning about all the criteria for the surgery, requesting the tests and keeping in touch with me. Post-op she has been great and has actually called me at home to let me know when one of my test results (my iron levels) were low. I am very pleased with her as a physician."
