"Dr Edmund Chute of Minneapolis Bariartic Surgeons Group impressed me so much on my first visit. He really took a lot of time explaining the various methods for surgery. He gave me his opinion on which procedure would suit me considering other issues that I deal with health-wise. He carefully explained to me that WLS is just a tool to assist me with weight loss - it's not a cure-all. He strongly encouraged me to make sure lifestyle changes are included in my weight loss plan - especially around exercise. Likewsie, I was very impressed with his office staff. Every person I met and talked to was very professional and friendly. They went out of their way to make me comfortable and to answer questions for me. When I have called the office with other questions, they have been prompt to return calls, or take them right away. Putting your life in the hands of someone you may talk to and hour or more prior to surgery requires confidence in the physician and his staff. With Dr. Chute, I've found my match. I would strongly recommend him to anyone else that consider WLS in the Minneapolis MN or surrounding area."
