My Name is Natalie, I have known and worked with Dr. Kirshenbaum and his office staff for approx 25 years. Dr. Kirshenbaum is one of the most respected General Surgeons in our area. I marketed the Lap Band procedure to Dr. Kirshenbaum 2 years ago, when he decided to do the procedure I became one of his patients. I cannot tell you how great the procedure has been for me. I have lost 80lbs and lots of inches, I have gone from a size 26 to a size 16.:confused: I could not have achieved this without the surgery. I am not on blood pressure pills anymore and my borderline diabetes is gone. For those of you that are concerned about the price I can tell you why it is so low. Dr. Kirshenaum wanted people to have the choice of having surgery here in there own country for the same price as Mexico. Physicians have to meet certain credentialing criteria to practice medicine here in the states but do they in Mexico? How would you check someones credentials there? The surgery centers where the doctor performs the surgery also have to meet strict criteria - JCAHO standards and AAA standards in order to be licensed. How would you check that at the facility in Mexico? You can go home after surgery and sleep in your own bed. It just makes good sense, if you are considering Dr. Kirshenbaum & have questions I would be happy to answer them.
