"At first he was very stiff. I am an outgoing boisterous person and I am not sure how he took me, but he changed and loosened up. I think if I wasn't his first surgery I was one of the few he has done. He is very knowledgeable and honest concerning the surgery. I would recommend him to anyone. He is very conservative which is wonderful since I am the same way. I couldn't have had a better surgeon or care provider. I had open RNY and my scar is so minimal. He listens to your concerns and understands that the patient knows their body. "
