Sep 13, 2016
Dr. James did my sleeve surgery in February. This was almost a year long process in order to be approved by my insurance. I was very impressed with Dr. James and the whole office staff. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Dr. James is an awesome doctor. I felt completely comfortable with him doing this surgery. I have had no problems! I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a surgeon.
