"My first impression was that of a gentle very concerned doctor; He spoke in low tones and seemed to really listen when I asked questions back. His main concern was my health. I didn't not like anything about him. He believe's aftercare is very important; He's requested that I attend a once a month support group that his weightloss program provides as part of the surgery. He address everything very clearly; upon my calling for my first appt. I was sent a soft-covered book about wls to read; plus, upon the meeting with the dietian and the social worker I was given a through package of info about the surgery, food program I would be on week by week for the first year and some info on changing lifestyle. I've heard only good things about Dr. Smith's competence, bedside manner and his sugical team. My surgery date is August 20th. today's date is August 3rd."
