"My first meeting with Dr. Siverhus was at an informational seminar for the Columbia-St. Mary's Bariatric program and I liked him immediately. He seemed very intent on making sure you did not leave there until you knew both the benefits and the risks of surgery. After speaking with a few of his patients I realized they all had a tremendous amount of faith in his abilities.rnDuring my first appointment he immediately put me at ease and by the end of the appointment we were talking like two old friends. Dr. Siverhus is very compassionate and understanding regarding obesity problems and their effects on his patient’s lives. He makes it seem like you are a person worth getting to know and someone he wants to help overcome this monster we call \"morbid obesity\". rnI believe he is an extremely competent surgeon and has a great bedside manner.rn "
