"I found him very personable and caring. His nurse is Awesome! I think he is not actually performing surgeries any longer. Too bad because he was good. My surgery was a redo. I originally had a Gastric Bypass at the age of 14, he did an awesome job redoing mine. They have an awesome follow up program and great pre surgery program as well. I was aware of the risks, but also aware of my fate with Diabetes etc by not having the surgery. Overall, he is an awesome surgeon and knows his stuff!rnI think competence and bedside manner are important."
