John Olsofka Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

Doc. O is a very talented surgeon and his comfort in performing this sugery makes you feel much more comfortable in having this surgery.
His office staff is extremely kind and caring and willing to go the extra mile for each patient. Lana even held my hand as I was put to sleep.
The ONLY downside to Doc O is that sometimes his office visits can be very quick---he is a quick talker and goes thru his end of it very quickly. By asking questions, you can get him to slow down a bit. I have heard that Dr Lusco (his accoc) is a little more compassionate, but I didnt pick a surgeon based on compassion---I wanted a doctor skilled in his speciality-laproscopic surgery. His surgical competence outweighs his bedside manner...but only slightly.
Doc O is all about the fills--he says without proper adjustments, the band WILL NOT work. He has promised me that if I do my part, he will do his part (keeping me properly adjusted), and I WILL LOSE WEIGHT.

I would suggest my surgeon and especially my Bariatric program to anyone interested in lap-band surgery.

Dr Olsofka, is very caring and informative. I had a great first impression of him during the seminar.
