"I had been referred to Dr. Northup by a coworker, and thus far have been very pleased. I've had my 2 pre-op visits and underwent lap band surgery yesterday on 4/23. I was so groggy when he came to see me I didn't see him at all before I left the hospital but he called me today so I thought that was nice. The office staf is wonderful. I'll keep you posted as I continue through this process. rnbjk "
