"My first impression of Dr. Hoehn was that he is very young looking! The night of the WLS seminar he joked that his mother had just dropped him off. I like someone with a good sense of humor! When my husband and I went for my consult, the Dr. was very friendly and patient. He encouraged us to take all the time we needed to ask questions. His office staff that I have met are all extremely friendly and helpful. They seem to work well as a team. They emphasize that the band is a "tool", ultimately you choose how well it works for you by making the right food choices and following your aftercare instructions. At my consult the Dr. did address surgery risks. So far he rates a 10 in my book."
