Patient Reviews
Sep 20, 2024
I was referred to Dr. Istfan for weight management. I've had a number virtual visits with him but we have not met in person. My sense is that his professional interest is in research and patient care is a means to an end. That's fine. I have dealt with weight issues most of my life and I was looking for a clinical solution. In short, the treatment protocol he recommended has worked very well. Also, when I did have a serious complication, he was instrumental in guiding me to the care providers who could remedy the problem. I've found that Dr. Istfan is more than wiling to answer questions, if asked. I'm pleased that I was referred to him.
