"March 8th 2005 I went to Dr. Mailapur's seminar. He was very professional,explained everything very well, had slide show to show you exactly how everything will work. His office staff was there to weight you & messure your height and gave hand outs w/paperwork. Sonya his nurse has also had the wls, this makes me feel very good to know someone in the office has been through it. I had my consultation, his office is very nice, my husband went with me to my appt.We met with Karen the nutritionist, she was very helpful in explaining the diet & the vitamin reg. that will be required.Dr. Mailapur went to great detail to explain everything to me & my husband, he did a what i felt was a full examination.I have a genetic blood disorder& the next day I went to my blood specialist to get clearance from him, & he said Dr. Mailapur had already called him. I really feel like he is on top of things and is concerned for me personally.I work at the hospital & every time i see Dr. Mailapur he is very friendly and takes the time to say hello & ask how you are doing.
I broke my leg/foot/ankle 4 days before my surgery was scheduled & during recouperation i got nervous about the surgery & cancelled. Dr. Mailapur was very understanding, He told me"Its your body & its your decision,if you have any questions feel free to call me".This made me feel very good about him.After more research & some support group meetings, i know the original trust that i had in him is still there, and i trust myself to make the changes i will have to make, so i have decided to continue my journey with Dr. Mailapur."
