"WOW that was my first impression or Dr. R, he was very nice, very helpful and really made me feel at ease about my decision. The NewStart program is a wonderful program, they have been very helpful with me and have taken good care of me. The one thing I would like to let other know about Dr. R is that he has done over 800 WLS and has had no deaths, now thats a good pice if information. He was in the room everyday to see me and visit with me and my family. The NewStart program has support group meetings and access to a registered dietitians. I would say the my overall experince with Dr. R is a perfect 10! Got'a Love h'm"
