Patient Reviews
May 03, 2024
He is so kind, listens to you and cares about making you feel better. He's open to new ideas and doesn't just 'generalize' you with standard answers. I had a RNY gastric bypass 17 years ago, and I still follow up yearly with him. He has removed my gallbladder, such a breeze, taken care of an internal hernia complications from my bypass, another breeze thru surgery. I love this office. It's not just have your bypass and they don't care how you do afterward. 17 years later, now I'm 70 years old and still doing well and making those check ups. Great doctor!
