"When I first met my surgeon he was very quiet but seemed genuinely concerned about my weight problem. My impression never changed since I only saw him the one time. His office staff has been nothing but nice and very helpful. The part that I didn't like about my surgeon is I never saw him once after my surgery. I only saw him for approx one minute before and never after. I saw many residents afterwards that were very nice and informative, though. If you are considering him for your surgeon don't expect to see him much. His skills outshine everything. They have a class that you attend prior to scheduling your surgery that is very informativeand stresses what to do after surgery along with a blooklet. They listed the risks as similar as to that of having open heart surgery. He did not cover over the risks or try to make them look unimportant. He is an excellent surgeon with an excellent background and CV. I would rate him a 10. I would like to have it all, surgical competence with a good bedside manner but if I couldn't have both I would choose surgical competence. "
