"1st impression: Caring, knowledgeable, dedicated, non-judgmental, informative, and happy to be helping obese people to a healthier life.
I haven't changed my impression and I haven't found anything at all that I dislike except maybe... he should slow down a bit.
The office staff are wonderful and patient. A fun bunch to work with. Dr. Vierra puts a lot of stress on the aftercare and has an extensive program.
He addressed the risks of surgery in both his pre-appointment seminar and at the 1st office visit and again at the pre-surgery office visit. He even asked my husband how he felt about it and answered his questions.
He gets a 9 out of 10. I felt he was very thorough in everything, but, I would have preferred him to be just a little less clinical at discharge (more human). I think that it is very important to have surgical competence but both his surgical competence and bedside manner are great.
I would recommend him to everyone!
This is just my personal impressions of my own personal experience and I am making no statements about what other people may experience."
