"The best. Based on many factors. He treated me intelligently, treated my family with dignity and respect, had the entire \"process\" of surgery (not just the 30 minutes in surgery) down COLD. I have a lifetime of aftercare, and it is clear that he understands that, and is ready for it. His diet regulations are extremely humane. I honestly believe he is one of the few people, let alone dr.'s that GET obese people, without he himself being obese. He has a confident and at ease bedside manner, as does his staff. The staff seem rushed and a bit overworked. Come on doc, hire about 2 more people.... But they are kind (Brandi is my fave) I would by far recommend this crew to my very own daughter if she ever needed it done. "
