"I cannot tell you how impressed I was with the staff, the nurses, the Dr.'s"

Namir Katkhouda

"My surgery was on Dec. 3, 08. I met Dr. \"K\" in an orientation, and from there picked him. Alot of people had said that his abruptness was tough. But, you want someone who is the best, and I feel he is. When you have a roux-en-y you want someone who gives you the dirty along with the sweet. I felt fully informed by the time I went in. There are issues that he has to cover, and he doesn't sugarcoat them. I felt fully trusted with him. Like alot of surgeons they are not great on \"bedside manner\", but like something Dr. K. himself said, \"when you have a pilot flying you across country...do you want someone who is chewing the fat before the flight with all the passengers, or someone who is at the cockpit, studying and getting ready for the flight\". I want the later. It's the same with someone who is re-arranging your stomach and intenstines. I never saw him the day of the surgery but saw his Fellow, Dr. Wu, and many others. Dr. Wu was great, straighforward and concerned. The entire program is great. The protocal is followed to a T. Great follow-up and concern for their patients"
