"Dr. Cram was 115% more than what I expected. He answered all of my questions before I even asked them. He I very experienced with post bariatric patients. He also showed excitement about the work that he had accomplished."
"My meeting with Dr. Maher went very well. He is a large man, so my first impression was intimidation. After we began speeking, he made me feel very comfortable. We went over all of my history, and he advised me that I was a good candidate for surgery. He transcribed the referal letter for insurance over the phone while I was in the office with him. We did go over the basics for surgery: risks, eating change, weight change, emotional change....
He did ask me to stand so that he could see where my excess weight was distributed. He did not say anything, but I did see that he jotted down on paper "body shape = apple". That is not negative, but the truth hurts sometimes.
