"This man is amazing. He is very meticulous, and will not do your surgery unless conditions are perfect--and his reputation reflects that. He has had very few complications and no fatalities. I am a nurse so reputation was the most important thing for me. I would put my life in his hands again in a heartbeat. I trust his abilities implicitly and his follow up is incredible. He genuinely wants his patients to succeed and works with you through any problems or concerns you have before and after your surgery. Maintenance for lap band patients is very important and he follows through with aftercare very thoroughly. "
