"I had vertical sleeve gastrectomy surgery March 30, 2010 by Dr. Podkameni. I have to say that Dr. P is a guy that actually cares about his patients. So many times I have seen Dr's that you can tell the only thing they care about is their bmw payments. Not Dr P though, he spent a ton of time with me. I had to have a little extra time to recoup but he was there for me. I dont think i would of been as well taken care of with other surgeons. I dont regret my decision in picking Dr. P one bit, and will praise his name when ever possible. Dr P is a cool cat, and a great surgeon. "
