"My first impression of Dr. Duncan , is that he is concerned for everyone's health when it comes to over eating , and how we really hurt our bodlies when we eat things that are not good for us, he is very professional and funny in the same , I remember when I first went to the seminar , he was talking about how our ( Americas ) Weapons of Mass Destruction is every fast food resturant on the corner. He is very honest. I never really saw him again during my office visits until we had the complication class, and he came in and basically told all of us that this is an elective surgery that we chose to better our health , he answered all of our questions , he did not rush , he took his time and no matter what silly questioned you asked , he answered it. He tells you that there is no garuntee that he will perform your surgery , but all the doctors in his office go by the same techniques that are required by law. That kinda got to me , because I really wanted him to do my surgery . However the day I had the surgery I was told that Dr. Hobson done my surgery, dont get my wrong he did a fantastic job , just one thing I have no clue what he looks like , because I never got the chance to meet him .Not that it matters what he looks like , but you know it's kinda scary you plan for this surgery for over a year , ) kinda like when you are pregnant you go to the doctor for 9 months , you know him, he has took care of you for the times you came into the office , then when you go to deliver some stranger is there to deliver your baby. ( you get the picture ) I am pretty sure Dr Hobson is a very nice fellow... Dr Duncan did come see me while I was in the hospital , asked me how I was and I gave him the smile he asked for in the complication class. He asked me if I needed anything , and without any hestiation I said ( a million bucks ) :) well he asked.... all in all .. his office staff is friendly and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking into this surgery"
