"Dr. Branson and his office staff were absolutely fabulous! When one of my sutures needed attention later that night following my surgery, he came in - in a tuxedo no less!- and re-sutured me! The follow-up care was superb, and I was in the office weekly for 6 weeks due to my system being quirky! His office staff, especially Marianne, who handles the insurance process, has NO equal. She's a magician. I can't say enough positive things about this man and his staff."
"Howard Simon is one of the finest surgeons I know. He is extremely knowledgeable about bariatric surgery. He is very proactive about aftercare and support groups. He explained all of the possible risks of surgery, what to expect when I got home, and what to do should a problem arise. He's got a quirky sense of humor, which suited me to a \"T\" and we still have a great relationship after 4 years post-op! Matter of fact, I coordinate all of the support groups for the CNY Bariatric Center/Upstate Medical Center. rnrnHoward is a very competent surgeon. He has a pretty good bedside manner and not that \"omnipotent\" complex a lot of surgeons have. He listens to his patients and to his staff. rnrn"
