"this hospital is terrible understaffed. however everyone was very nice. you need family with you all the time for a good recovery."

Albert L. Perkins
"he called a person he knows who has had wls a "surgery survivor". that bothered me. he was a very nice and concerned person. he wants you to know that this surgery is not to be taken lightly and how important it is to get involved with groups or individuals who have been through it. i would say that he would be an excellent person to talk to about any issues you might have."

"This is one of the kindest people I have ever known. He is concerned about you and gives you 100% of his attention during an office visit. He always returns phone calls. I trust this person with my life."

Mark A. Shina
"Dr Shina is very direct but still has a sense of humor. He is an advocate for this surgery and wants you to have realistic expectations. I feel as if he is competent and does his best with each person. He talked a great deal about life after surgery and said "you need to do everything I say". You know when you leave exactly what the risks are and the long term effects. You also know that the surgery is only a tool and that the rest is up to you. If you're looking for a surgeon who is personable he is not the one for you. He is a nice man but not the touchy feely kind of person many need. If you're looking for someone to do the job well and help you with the biggest life change you will ever have then he's your guy. I really don't have an opinion about the office staff. This was done in a group with very little time one on one. What time I did spend with them was fine. I left feeling well informed and confident that I was in good hands. "
