  1. this dr is terrible does not care about patients at all all he ever talks about is how much money he makes he is so loud and abrasive you can hear his conversations from another room. I am throughly disgusted by this big phoney
  2. dr. holover is not as good as you think he openly states he is only interested in making money does not provide adeguate follow up. he is basically a used car sales person for lapbands he is abrasive and not compassionate toward patients. The office staff is rude and unprofessional as soon as you have a problem everyone is nice until then and trust me if you get a lapband you will eventually have some sort of complication these are not meant to stay in for life. The measure of a good dr is how he behaves under pressure or when there is a problem not just when he is trying to sell you a lapband. Dr. is anGRY PERSON WHO ACTUALLY THROUGH A TANTRUM! I was scammed by him too and had to learn the hard way. Dr. has malpractice hx date 4/10/12
  3. NYBG is awesome! You should realy check malpractice of Dr.s. Dr. Holover has no history and is healthgrade reccommende 5 star dr. None of the others are including Dr. Garber . I actually like dr. garber because he answers his email and was on top of things in the hospital but Dr. Holover actually did my surgery. As far as the office goes, it's like any other dr.'s office. I have never had a problem getting a fill and it does not hurt at all. As far as making you sign a paper that the fill costs $250, they also make you sign a contract you won't eat ice cream and excersize 3x's a week. It's a business they want to be paid they are making a fortune off us. I was lucky my insurance covers fills, I still eat ice cream occassionally and no contract is going to stop me. I do excersize because it's the only way to get good results not because they made me sign a contract. This is about you and for you I spent a year researching dr.s I went with dr. holover because I thought he was the best available who took my insurance and did SILS. I was not crazy about his personality in the office. I thought he was kind of arrogant bragging about how he's the best. However, he was really great to me in the hospital and after the surgery. I would never consider another dr.
  4. doctor is so booked have to wait over 3 months to get a fill. I have no restriction. Why doesn't he have a partner so he can better serve his patients instead of just making money off them. Follow up care stinks!!!!!
  5. What did this end up being ?
