"What can I say about my surgeon, Dr. Moazzez? Well, everyone already knows he's a hottie!! I'd KILL for those eyelashes! Personable? Very. Informative? Absolutely. Concerned? Definately? Do ya wanna cross him? Oh hell NO!! Made that mistake...won't do it again.rnrnDr. Moazzez has a genuine concern for his patients & his goal is our success & better health. I know this because he was not the first surgeon I turned to. I won't name any names but the one I saw prior to him saw me as a paycheck & nothing more. I was quite discouraged. Not discouraged enough to quit though because I'd done the research on lapband & truly believed it to be my best choice. I was actually referred to Dr. Mo through a therapist that I couldn't see cuz insurance wouldn't pay for him. From the moment I stepped into his office & was greeted by Pam, I knew I was in the right place. Instead of cold indifference (like I got at the other place), I was greeted with a warm smile & a cheery atmosphere. Because of some very significant comorbidities, Dr. Mo chose to take a much more precise approach to whether or not he would even agree to do the surgery at all. After all...he has a reputation to protect...hate to say the surgery was a succes but the patient died anyways...that would suck! So I had to jump through some extra hoops before he was satisfied that I would, indeed survive the surgery. That OTHER guy never even questioned it.rnrnI'm post op now...had my surgery July 16th, 2007. I've had to call in with some minor complaints twice so far. I couldn't believe it when the phone rang a couple of hours later & Dr. Mo, HIMSELF, was on the other end! I can't remember the last time I phoned in a complaint to ANY doctor & that doctor called me back personally. Usually I just get his assistant or nurse with a message. So his personal attention holds A LOT OF WATER with me!!!rnrnAll in all, this is truly a gifted human being that genuinely cares about his patients, has not problem adding a personal touch, and by God don't piss him off cuz he'll let ya have it! He's fair but precise. God loves you, Dr. Mo and so do I !!! rnrnrn"
