"I met with Dr. Charles Ferguson two days before my surgery. He struck me as being a compassionate and competent doctor. Since he was new to Lap WLS I asked him if he enjoyed the work. He admitted that he didn't but since the results were so positive he was going to continue. When I saw him at my checkup and had the opportunity to ask even more questions he answered honestly and understandably. He was pleased with my progress (not to mention me!) and I encouraged him to stay with it as there is such a tremendous need for good WL surgeons. I would recommend him to anyone contemplating the surgery. "
