"I met Dr. Voellinger at a seminar presented by him and his staff. My first impression was that he was a surgeon who was proud of his work and wanted to educate those of us in the room about WLS.rnrnWhen I followed up with an appointment with him I noted how friendly and thorogh he was. I have had other surgeons who wouldn't give you more than seconds of their time. Dr. V stayed and answered all of my questions and was very patient with me when I wasn'rt sure of how to phrase a question.rnrnHis staff met with me individually and explained their in the process and gave insights of what to expect. They all reinforced the importance of ther after care and I contracted with him to see him at least once a year after I was discharged fronm the surgery.rnrnI am very confident with him as a surgeon based on the # of procedures he has done and the way he is involved with his patients in the aftercare."
