James Romano
"I had a facelift/browlift done by Dr. Romano and also some liposuction of the chin (it was sagging after I lost 70 lbs). I have not yet used him for ps related to obesity but he is very very sensitive to obesity and is a big fan of gastric bypass surgery. Although I probably won't need a TT, I will probably consult with him about liposuction or a breast lift as time goes on. He's an amazing surgeon and a sweet, good natured and good humored person and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch plastic surgeon in the Bay Area."

Horacio Asbun
"12/02 I really liked Dr. Asbun and felt extremely comfortable with him. I met his staff a few days before meeting him and really enjoyed them. Karrel the nutritionist is likeable and has a good sense of humor. Anne Timberlake, the nurse manager, has an outstanding reputation in Northern California and is warm, knowledgeable and caring. I liked Anne immediately but waited until meeting DrAsbun before making my decision to use this group. I had consults scheduled with other surgeons so that I didn't feel pigeon-holed into using one group. I felt it was very important to have a knowledgeable and qualifed surgeon that I would feel comfortable with. It was important to me that we achieve a rapport and we did. He is very personable and I felt very relaxed around him. He went over all possible risks and complications, he talked about the lifestyle changes. He said it is not about doing "assembly line" surgeries, it's about the right surgery at the right time for the right person. He helped me to feel important and that he really cared about my satisfaction with him, the staff, the hospital and the procedure. As I move through I'll post again, but right now I'm very impressed with Dr. Asbun and feel very confident in his abilities. Additiionally, I like him and he made me feel very much at ease. I am very happy to have decided to use this group. They are so close to home and that is even better! 1/03 Now that I am postop I can honestly say that all of my initial feelings about Dr. Asbun and Anne and the clinic were right on the nose! He is an excellent surgeon and a real gem of a person. I am glad that I put myself in his hands. I am so happy to have found him. They brought me a bari bear when I was in the hospital and when I had my first postop appt, they were so excited that I was doing so well. I have joined a support group for postops at the clinic and will keep everyone posted on that as well. 9/03 I had my six month appt a bit late. I was thinking that Dr. Asbun would be disappointed because I'm losing so slowly but he was very happy with my progress. Most importantly he's happy that my comorbidities have been cured! In the past 8 months I had a stricture, a major car accident, graduated from law school and studied for and took the bar exam, and now as I begin life as an attorney I have more energy and feel better than I have in a long time! I continue to be grateful for Dr. Asbun, Anne and Shirley! They're the best!"

"Dr DeMonteiro is very knowledgeable and shares a practice with a very pro-WLS endocrinologist. However, he wants to know that it is medically necessary and that you have tried other methods. If you have not or want to explore some more, he is more than willing to work those avenues with you as well. He is kind and compassionate and caring. Very thorough and competent. "
