"I was referred to Dr. Slotman by my PCP/Nurse Practicioner in July 2002. I called Dr. Slotman's office for a consult appointment on 8/1/02 and was given a consultation appointment for 12/19/02. On 12/19/02, my husband accompanied me to my 1:30 pm appointment. I found Dr. Gus Slotman to be very personable. He even commented on my outfitt. He said it was beautiful. He even named the designer and the silk fabric. He knows how to observe and select a positive trait about everyone and use it to flatter them and make them feel good about themselves. I like that!! Before meeting him in the examination room, another patient and I were shown a video which was perpared by and starred Dr. Slotman. In the video Dr. Slotman covered all aspects of the surgery. He stressed the dangers and discussed commonly asked questions. With the reseach time online, the Obesity Help site, the video, and other information sent to me by Dr. Slotman prior to my appointment. I had only a few concerns/questions to ask and discuss. He answered my questions in a clear concise manner. I felt confident and reassured when I left his office. He would not allow me to make my decision to have the surgery in his office. I had to wait 24 hours before calling his office with my decision. "
