"He was very blunt and matter of fact when I met him and I really didn't care much for him but the second meeting and therefore after changed. I think he seemed that way to see how serious you were. Since than I have come to know and love him. He changed my life and so many others. He truly cares for the obese person. He doesn't believe that it's just a matter of pushing yourself away from the table and alot of doctors don't get that. He said in one of his last statements before leaving our miltiary hosptial that this was one of the truly rewarding jobs he has ever done and I really felt that he meant that with his whole heart and wasn't just saying it. You really feel like he appreciates the gift God has given him and the good it is doing. Anyone in the military who has the opportunity to see please do , I highly recommend him!"
