Weight Loss and Surgery Center Bariatric Center

Dr. Lee was very professionally and very understanding. She went over everything she will do during the surgery in great detail. She had 2 students with her as well and she made that entire experience totally comfortable. Dr. Lee did not make me feel rushed and made me feel like I was important to her. She does appear young but she is very knowledgable. She really cares about the entire process and the after care which is so important. Im so glad she is my surgeon.

I liked her a lot. She was very informative and took time to go over the procedure and what would be happening in the days following, in the hospital. She also, took time to speak with my son who was very upset about my decision. I saw her everyday, except the last in the hospital, Then she was much more business like and seemed in more of a hurry. As far as aftercare I'm really, really glad I went through Kaiser's Program because theirs was more structured and compehensive.rnShe addressed the risks of surgery as something that comes along with any surgery a person might have to have. But she also assured me that that there were a lot of steps in place to keep thing from happening. Then continued to tell me about those steps.

thought he was informative---and was willing to answer questions from my husband=who was worried.His office staff-especially sally---who after 5years after my surgery--is still there---kind -understanding--friendly---no one will be disappointed with his office--so far one friend has had surgery too and one friend soon.

Dr. Afram is very professional, to the point, no frills, honest. If you need this surgery, he will tell you. He is discreet and kind. His office staff is overwhelmingly helpful and never bothered by follow up phone calls or visits. Dr Afram's aftercare program is very good with nutritionists and psychologist on staff, support groups, follow up visits, on call support. Dr Afram's surgical competence is his strong point- straight \"A\". His bedside manner I'd give him a \"C\". Keep up the good work, he saved my life.

WONDERFUL .... I had a great experience!

When first meeting him you will notice that he definitely has swagger. For some that might make him seem a bit shady but I really think that he cares. He has been doing this for a long time and is the top doctor in the area. The office staff is very helpful and takes care of all your questions and needs immediately. If they seem snappy when you call, it really is not personal. They handle a very large call volume and even if it seems you are a bother or that they have not really heard your request, it is not true. All questions will be answered and things requested will be sent out. He has a very structured program and leads an obesity surgery center not just a surgeon’s office. All resources you need to go on this journey are available in his office. There is even a plastic surgeon. Overall, I would rate him as an excellent surgeon.

Dr Lee is the best!! She is patient and goes over everything and gives you time to ask questions. She really makes you feel at ease about the whole thing....

I'm a patient of Dr. Joseph Afram here in the Washington, DC area. I found the office to be very informative and the staff very nice. I'm excited for the surgery. I meet with the doctor on 1/21/05 to go over everything right before surgery on 1/25/05. The aftercare program seems to be something which I will take a part in, such as the weekly support group meetings. I really can't speak on anything much because I haven't had the surgery as of yet...but hold on...I'll explain afterwards. Wish me luck!

Dr Lin was very straight forward when speaking with me. He explained the procedure in full detail to me and let me know what to expect and what not to expect. I was very impressed with is knowledge and demeanor. Although I have an HMO I was also told that they will continue to follow my care well after the surgery. I just can't express how much I was impressed with Dr Lin and his staff. My Overallrating would be Outstanding thus far.

I liked Dr. Paul Lin. Everyone in his office was so caring and understanding of my needs. He is located one block from metro station. Parking in the building was $15 for a little over 2 hrs.(This is based on consultation. I will update after surgery.)
