"I met with Dr. Iqbal on for the first
time on Sept. 24, 2002.
I liked him intially because of professionalism
and knowledge of
surgery. He seemed so competent and I felt
assurded.As most specialists I was the one
who needed to ask questions...
His office staff are patience, and willing
to explain if one
does not understand the many pre-opt
procedures.
He was honest about the follow up,
support groups
and the dramatic change in ones diet.
Plus, the weight loss and risks of the
surgery.
To me surgical competence far out weighs,
bedside manners.
Bedside manner is nice, but I am not
marrying the surgeon.
If they have both that is wonderful, too."
