Bari-ssentials Hair Products

"This product reduced my hair loss steadily for the one month I have been using it. Has reduced the loss by over 75% at this point. So convincing were the results, I am becoming a distributor and will be selling it to bariatric patients in my area."

"TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME! (Sorry for the swear words but "fuck" is my favorite universal adjective!) SPECTACULAR--TWO THUMBS UP! I would use every positive word I could think of to describe the care I received from Dr. Koren and his health care partners at St. Luke's. Everyone worked as a team. Everyone was so polite, cheerful, competent--even when I was bitchy coming down from the pain meds. From the Residents to the cleaning lady--they were just great. Because I was one of the first few cases done Laproscopicly (sp?) at this hospital--everyone was curious to come and look at my belly--I felt I pulled up my shirt more times than at a biker rally! But that's ok--everyone was so curious to see how cool this new way (to them) of doing this surgery is. Of course I would recommend this hospital to anyone considering surgery, but get it done by the doctor I have--DR. KOREN--rather than the other guy who does it open method at this same hospital."

Amanda Nyce

"She is really great--the only good thing to come out of Easton Hospital in my opinion. She said she would try to come and be there for my surgery at another Hospital even though the other Hospital has it's own coordinator. That's impresive because she would do it on her own time! Easton Hospital refused to do my surgery because they say Capital Blue Cross doesn't pay enough for this surgery. They are just greedy because all the other hospitals in the area are fine with it. So I am totally glad that Mandy has been hanging in there for me throughout my journey. Nyce is her last name and the best way to describe her! :)"

James Koren

"My first impression about Dr. Koren was that he seemed to know what he was doing and that he probably would have a good bedside manner. My impression hasn't really changed, although I am getting a better idea of the scope of his intelligence and the great way he treats his patients. I've been going to the support groups and I don't say much but I observe everything--my parents always say I "don't miss a fart" LOL. Anyway, the way he actually spends time at those meetings talking with people, answering questions, calming nerves etc. is amazing. I've never seen a doctor like him--ever. Most doctors wanna hit and run! He seems like he will be there for the long haul--and he told me that he does the tummy tuck surgery too. One-stop shopping is cool! He gave a balanced presentation with everything covered as far as aftercare and risks. I hardly had any questions--and for those who know me--that says alot. I heard he is called to correct other's errors--that says something about his competence right there. Can't wait to check it out on May 7th. Yeah!!! The only negative experience I had is that when I started on my journey he was "new on the scene" here in PA and he had to wait forever to get hooked up with local insurances and hospitals. But none of that was his fault--it's our rotten health care system. And I suppose that part of it is that a few months can feel like forever to someone waitng for surgery. Now he's hooked up with two hospitals--rock on! "
