"Dr. Naziri is a very competent surgeon. He has a special interest in obesity surgery. He has a great bedside manner and makes sure you are well informed of the risks. He will take all the time needed to explain any questions you may have and doesn't rush you. His office has monthly support group meetings and he will follow up to see if you are attending these. His nurse/office manager and dietician attend each one. He has guest speakers such as a plastic surgeon at some of the meetings and wls patients at all stages of this journey speak up at all meetings. Meetings are very informative. If you are a smoker it is required that you quit before surgery. He also requires a 2 week strict high protein low carb diet. He will ask you on the day of surgery if you have adhered to these requirements and if you tell him no to any of these he will cancel your surgery and send you home. He tells you this up front on the first visit. He wants you to make the best of this life style change and tells you the surgery is only a tool and he wants you to eat right and excercise daily for the rest of your life. He informs you of what weight is normal for you but makes no promises that you will reach ideal weight. He tells you that everyone is individual and will lose at there own pace and be at a much healthier weight in the end."
