Dana Portenier
"I was very pleased overall with Dr. Portenier. He is that rare mix of exceptional interpersonal skills and knowledge. On each of the two meetings with him, I found him very personable and down to earth and he took as much time as was needed to answer all of my questions. He is very matter of fact about the risks, benefits, and role of surgery in weight loss. He also discussed in detail the measures they take to try to manage risks during and after surgery. rnrnBecause the Duke program is a fellow training program, at least some part of your surgery and care will be managed by a bariatric surgery fellow in training. The one that was working with Dr Portenier was also very personable and knowledgeable. rnrnThe office staff is very pleasant and helpful, although often very difficult to access on the telephone. It was not unusual to leave messages and wait days for a return call. I'm sure that responses to urgent problems would be quicker, but thankfully I haven't had need to evaluate that.rnrnOverall, I'd rate Dr. Portenier and the Duke WLS program very highly. I have no regrets about using them for this healthcare service."
