"I first met Dr. Ikramuddin at the info seminar/consult and thought he had a good sense of humor and was very personable. The office staff seems very busy and not overly friendly. They seem so rushed when i've called with questions and were not good at getting back to me. Future patients should know that he pioneered this surgery at the U of PA and has performed it over 875 times, successfully, I might add. He emphasizes aftercare extensively. He also has a great structured program and has already developed a support group in just the few short months he's been here. I would rate him at an 8-9 overall. Now that my surgery is over, I would like to add that Dr. Ikramuddin did a wonderful job. He was on time and everything went great. "
