"I attended a seminar on Barriatric Surgery that Dr Hornbostel conducted in July. He seemed very knowledgable and answered everyone's questions. But what I guess impressed me most was the way he made you feel comfortable. There were no \"dumb\" questions. He took his time. He was funny. And then this week (08/13/08) I had my first appointment with him and he was as down to earth as he was in the meeting. He went over items with me and welcomed questions. I beleive that I am in good hands. And the office staff. They are great. Margie is a dream!!"
