Gordon Brodie
"Dr Gordon Brodie is my Primary Care Physician. He has walked me through all kinds of weright issues. When I aksed him about bypass surgery. He only asked that he receive a copy of all of the documentation and have Dr Valin call him. He was very supportive of this for me."

Elizabeth Baxley
"Elizabeth was an excellent source of information. She is young and giggly but she knows what she is doing. If you want some solid background and information on what to expect and why you need to perform the endless tasks for the ByPass surgery, she's the one to go to."

Hospital of Saint Raphael (COE)
"The hospital is huge but professional. They check and re-check you, your needs, your paperwork. They are all remarkable at every stage of your stay. Saint Raphael's is Excellent."

Elmer Valin
"Well, I met Dr. Valin on 12/19/01. My appointment was for 5:15; I never got into to see him until 6:20. Someone came in with a deep crouping cough and she was in such pain. He never thought twice about taking her first. I felt so bad for her; she had just had the surgery and every time she coughed it practically killed her. I didn’t mind waiting at all. Dr Valin finally brought my husband Scott and I into his office. He said that I am probably not a candidate for the RNY bypass procedure because by government standards, I am not heavy enough by 10 lbs. Do have any idea how odd I felt, not being able to see my feet, and being told “you’re not heavy enough”? BUT Dr Valin stated that I am a candidate for the Lap Band procedure. We talked about all the steps I need to take for this. He answered all of our questions and concerns. He was very patient even though you could tell this poor man at 7:00 he was exhausted. "
