"My first impression of Dr. McDevitt was he seem very comfort with his skill. He put me a ease the first support group class. I just knew that the lap band was the correct way for me to go and I had choosen the right surgeon.rnHis staff is very much down to earth type and make you feel important and not just another fat person.rnrnThey need to know that he and his staff are there for us.rnrnDr McDevitt stress the aftercare, excerise and support group all the time as the most important from the begining and at every appointmnet and meeting. Yes a very structured aftercare program. rnrnThere is always risk to any surgery, but this is mention several times and he will dorn one one talking to you about any thing.rnrnI would rate him in the top 5 of this type of surgery."
