Marc Boustany
"My husband saw Dr. Boustany for a different issue and we liked him. We had worked with two different bariatric surgeons and one moved and one quit doing the surgery so we had to find a new surgeon. We liked his bedside manor and decided to give him a go. The office staff is great once you have insurance approval but they don't get involved in the approval process. It was up to us and our PCP to fight a 4-year battle. The policy of Norfolk Surgical Group is that you have to get pre-authorization from your insurance before they want to see you and they tell you this at the information meeting. Once you are approved they have a great staff in their bariatric program. Dr. Boustany is a stickler for pre-op diet and aftercare. He requires a 30 day liquid semi-startvation diet (that is what he calls it) before surgery along with weekly weigh-ins at his office. He has two different support groups that he encoruages participation in before and after surgery that are run by his nutritionist. Dr. Boustany was very open and professional about addressing the risks. I haven't had surgery yet but I feel very comfortable with his skill and bedside manor. "
