"You could not find a more compassionate person to help you with your journeys, either obesity wise or mental health wise. She is the greatest!! She has offices in the Westover/Pocomoke area and the Berlin area. "

"He had never delt too much with obesity surgery. Once he agreed to refer me to a surgeon and saw the results he was very excited about it. I think he just needed to learn that this is a tool some persons need in their battle with obesity!!! He is a good primary for someone looking for a PCP willing to refer you for surgery.. and he keeps track of you very well himself."

"I have no ill thoughts about the hospital. I would go there again if the need arises. I had a better staff then some of my peers..but they weren't the greatest. I seemed to have alot of traveling nurses. They come and they go and don't really understand bariatric patients."

"8/30/00 I met my choice for a surgeon for the first time today. This is my personal impression of the doctor. Other's may not have the same opinion as I do. I was very impressed by his honesty about the pro's and con's and his experience and caring nature. I very much liked the fact that the amount of weight a person loses is not his MAIN objective. Not everyone will be a beauty queen after this. He just want everyone to lose the amount of weight that is needed for them to be healthy. He stressed the importance of taking this tool and using it wisely. Aftercare is important and you will need to heed his rules to feel good and lose weight properly and in a healthy manor. I know I will never be teeny tiny. I just want to feel better and be able to enjoy life. The office staff was great. They were very friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to my physical in Oct so I can move on towards surgery. 11/13/00 As soon as his office got the approval nod from my insurance co they put the wheels in motion immediately. I got scheduled for pre-op testing on Dec 5th and surgery on Dec 11th the very day they got my approval. I am going to a workshop he is sponsoring too to get some ideas of what after surgery is like on Sunday Nov 19th. They really care and stay in touch!! 11/19/00 Attended a support group Dr Vanguri set up for his patients. What a great office staff he has and meeting MANY of his patients did a world of good for me. It allowed me to ask questions to recent surgical patients as well as some to those who have lost alot of weight and have become an inspiration to me. "
