"I was very pleased the first time that I met Dr. Kellum. He explained to me all of the pros and cons of the surgery. What I needed to do. I had to lose 40 pounds before I came back for my pre-op check-up. I had only lost 30 pounds but that was okay. They said that I would lose more when I started the pre-op diet. I love his staff. Every time I call someone in his office they respond quickly to my call, if not at that time. I would rate them with a perfect 10 at this time, I will let you know after the surgery with the beside manner."
