"I had my first visit with Dr. Bauman today. I found him very professional, knowledgeable and straightforward. His staff was also very professional and informative and seemed to be genuine when they said they were available for any questions I might come up with. The program Dr. Bauman and his associate have created seems to be very thorough with before AND after care. If you're not going to be totally comitted I think they'd pick up on that attitude and wouldn't hesitate to deny you the surgery. They are very serious about what they do. Dr. Bauman personally recorded a video where he addresses the risks of bariatric surgery as the very first topic to make sure you realize that you must not make a quick or uneducated decision to go through with this surgery. I feel extremely confident that he has his patients' best interests at heart and truly wants to be a part of improving your health AND well-being. "
