"Doctor Oliphant has literally saved my life! Not just with the RNY surgery but with his care afterwards. I have had a few complications ... an incarcerated hernia and bad gall bladder, and he also did the surgeries to fix those.rnI would reccomend him in a heartbeat! He really cares for his patients and knows just what to do.rnrnMy very first impression was that he was not only very professional but made sure that any questions that *I* had were answered beyond the information that the hospital provided. I'd done a large amount of research on my own and I still walked away knowing more. He did not downplay the risks at all, he made sure that I knew how seriously they take this surgery that it is ranked as major and right up there with heart surgery.rnrnI really didn't like that he had me sitting up the first night of surgery but you know he was right about it! It did help me begin the healing process and even though I really would rather have just laid in bed I knew that I needed to get up and sit up.rnrnI have friends at the same place I work that have had the same surgery I have, with the same doctor and we have all said the same thing. Even if we had to do it twice to get it right, it would be worth it, and we would never choose another surgeon."
