"I heard about Dr. Gagner's extraordinary skill at www.duodenalswitch.com.
I decided to consult with him when he answered an e-mail question
within 24 hours! I met Dr. Gagner for the first time on May 17. He is quiet and intense, but very
knowledgable and I feel quite confident in his ability. Dr. Gagner
performs both the DS and the RNY laparascopically and he
agrees that the DS procedure is the best for me.
At 3 months post-op I have to say that I am very pleased that I chose
Dr. Gagner. His skill is remarkable. He even managed to remove my
swollen, enlarged gall bladder without converting to an
open procedure. I have had zero complications and for that I am
truly grateful.
When I first met Dr. Gagner, I was impressed with his knowledge and his
obvious intelligence. I also was impressed by his reputation. I was
concerned, however, that he seemed cold and clinical. I was wrong, however.
Dr. Gagner is somewhat shy and very quiet - and so he gives an initial impression
of coldness. In the hospital, he was very kind and caring. And he has been
terrific at every subsequent encounter. He takes enormous pride and pleasure in
his bariatric patients and their weight loss.
What is most important about Dr. Gagner, however, is his skill. There is, in
my opinion, no lap DS surgeon who has Dr. Gagner's skill level. Knowing his
reputation and his ability made the whole process much easier for me."
