"I first met Dr Bovard on jan. 24th 2006. I must say I liked him right away. He is straight and to the point, yet he has compassion, class and style. He also has a sense of humor. And to me that means a lot. The office staff is awesome. I emailed back and forth and made calls about my insurance and they have always been a pleasure to deal with. I have found them prompt and reliable. The program Dr. Bovard presents is totally about aftercare. The surgery itself would be useless with out proper after care. The Delmarva Bariatric Center has their own gym/fitness center. They offter a nutritionist and personal trainer with their program. I was given plenty of information about the surgery to be able to make an informed decisison about having the surgery. I am so glad I did. I am very glad to have chosen Dr. Bovard as my physcian. He is great. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.rnmarcia Johsnon"
