"I had my pre-surgery meeting w/ Dr. Schrope today. She strikes as very informative, personable and caring… all the things I already heard from other posters. I know I'm in good hands (literally). Dr. Schrope is out of The Columbia University (New York-Presbyterian Hospital) Obesity Center, but I will be her 1st patient at the NJ, Valley Hospital. The Columbia Univ MDs are starting this practice in NJ to extend their reach. Nice! My surgery is set for Mar 28th... I can't wait!"
