David Lourie
"My first impression of Dr. Lourie, was that he is a perfect example of what a surgeon should be. He's professional, and has a wonderful calming affect. He's very approachable with any question we may have, and he answers is layman's terms. No question is too wierd, and he made me feel completely at ease with my decision. The morning of surgery, Dr. Lourie came in to see me in the pre-op room, he asked me if I had any last minute concerns or questions. Boy was I ready for surgery on January 12th. The evening of surgery, he came to visit me in my room. I wanted to hug him for changing my life!!! He came to visit me twice a day while I was in the hospital. I am absolutely grateful for Dr. Lourie for doing such an awesome surgery. I had no complications, no pain...simply a painless prcedure for me. And I attribute it all to his gentle hands. Over time Dr. Lourie, has been very approachable and very supportive. I see him around the hospital, and I never hesitate to say hello and of course, I'll never miss a chance to give him a great big hug, as I feel he's saved my life. Dr. Lourie's aftercare is exceptional. He tracks my progress and I've seen him about three times in his office since surgery. At the year mark, I know I'll take extensive blood tests to make sure my levels of in all ok. I follow his instructions to take my vitamins and his prescribed actigall. I read on other profiles, that their doctors don't prescibe actigall, I feel Dr. Lourie is very well informed on all the current findings of WLS, so I follow his instructions. I know I'm in good hands with Dr. Lourie. His office staff is excellent. Linda has turned out to be very helpful, and the front office staff is very pleasant. If at times they don't return calls immediately, it's because they also are the support staff for the other surgeons in the office. Overall, they are a great crew to work with and they handle all the insurance from start to finish, I never had to submit paperwork, they were quite efficient in that! I would highly recommend Dr. Lourie for his expertise and experience as a bariatric surgeon and for all other surgery for that matter. I know if I ever need another surgery, for what ever reason, Dr. Lourie would be my first choice. His smile along with gentle and warm personality of course make it easier to choose him over all the rest! I forgot to mention, that Huntington Hospital is absolutely awesome, not because I work there, but it is exceptionally clean, the staff is awesome and did I mention the doctors? Yes, Dr. Lourie stands out from all the rest!!!! If I had to rate Dr. Lourie, on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give Dr. Lourie a whopping 15!!! "

Huntington Memorial Hospital (COE)
"Huntington Hospital is the very best in the San Gabriel Valley. In fact, only two hospital received the highest ratings in California. Huntington Hospital and City of Hope. I was very very impressed with the level of attention I received. The cleanliness of the hospital is that of a 5-star hotel. The elegant entrance and gift shop is superior to any I've seen. And not to mention the cafeteria. Every single person who works there, and who came in contact with me, introduced themselves very politely. I was very comfortable there."
