"He does general surgery as well as weight loss, so was late for the appointment and apologized. He was clear and to the point and emphasized the importance of patient compliance with aftercare by having me sign a contract. His staff was very friendly. Leigh, I believe she is the office manager, was outstanding. She even worked on my letter of medical necessity at home when she was recovering from surgery helself. The NP and nutrition ladies were young and appeared somewhat less informed about lap band than gastric bypass. All in all I am very happy to be having this surgery done so close to home by kind, caring people. "
