"I met Dr T. last Friday - he is a very wonderful person. Very caring and concerned about the health of his patients. And he was very careful of the way he spoke to me - my 19 yr old daughter was in there with me and she was offended because of his reference to me being so overweight, but he spoke of it in a very kind way! My BMI is enough to qualify me for the surgery w/o other comorbid conditions, but SHE didn't appreciate him telling me so!!! His office staff is wonderful as well. A lady named Terry has been helping me; I understand there is a 2nd lady named Pam who works with her,although I haven't spoken with her as of yet. It takes a special type of person to work with patients with our type of problem; they must be very sensitive "
