"The Bariatric Clinic at Valley Care is excellent. They have 10 classes before the surgery to prepare you for the physical and psychological changes. The office staff is really friendly and supportive, especially Deanna. She actually remembers everyone, even over the phone. Dr. Estakhri is very polite and knowledgeable, not judgmental at all. I know I was worried about that a little, from a doctor. I had been a yo yo dieter and could never get past 30 pounds. She explained why that happens to people. She was right there bright and early the next morning after the surgery. Her office staff is different from the clinic staff. Just stay on their good side. One person in particular is nice but can have an attitude. Just be nice all the time and she'll be really helpful."
