— Patient Review"I had a bad experience with this office. The doctor didn’t review my chart when I had a consult to remove my lap band. He asked if I had any questions. I said I was concerned because I had 23 abdominal surgeries and wanted to discuss risk/ benefit ratios. He was shocked that I had that many surgeries."
