He treated me like a PERSON! He didn't just tell me I was obese & dismiss me like many drs have in the past & as a person who gained weight since having my baby I of course knew but was worried because it's so hard to loose & as a single mom of 3, I just don't have a lot of time in the day! He walked me through & explained to me how this was more of a life change instead of a quick fix to get surgery.. Its something I have to maintain etc & gave me advice on how to eat properly and better also gave me referrals to places etc to let me know I'm not in this alone! Encouraged me not put me down for my weight gain.. He listened to me, empathized with me. 1 thing he said that got to me was "I'm more than just a surgeon".. You don't find many drs anymore who remember that we are all human!
