"Dr. Velakaturi was very supportive of the surgery. He sent a letter with the referrel to my surgeon and has been very supportive of my choices over the past years. "

Kansas University Medical Center

"I would recommend KUMED center to anyone looking into WLS... but I do believe Dr. Udobi was an important factor in my care at the hospital."

Kahdi Udobi

"Very Direct/ Caring for my well being. I had talked to him several times on the phone but had not meant him. I talked to Angie at least 50 times over the last 6 months. Call backs were slow from Dr. Udobi so I figured he was a very busy Dr.. I talked directly to two members who had Dr. Udobi and I really don't fell nervous about the Surgery. I had my preop finally today (that's another story - it would not have been for Dr. Udobi and his staff Kirsten and Darlene). He was exactly as Sherri and Lisa and told me. He was very thorough and made sure I understood exactly what he was going to do and the risk... everything. After every detail he asked if I had any questions before going on. I will still be glad when the surgery is over. I'll update again after surgery and I am recovering. Dr. Udobi seemed like he was at the hospital 24 by 7. He was very much involved with my well being and comfort. "
