Yes

Was banded in March 2006. His staff is very thorough. They have done lots of bands and gastric bypass.

His staff is very knowledgable. They pay attention to the little things, like bigger chairs in the waiting room.

The staff knows your name and he has a case nurse that will work with you until you get your surgery. My insurance made me wait 6 months and do a dr supervised weight loss. They called me monthly.

They are very caring. They do a info session b4 to let you know what to expect. They have after care classes and monthly meetings.

I've never had them turn me down for any questions asked.

They do have emergency appts if necessary.

He has people to handle all aspects. Insurance, Psych pre tests, Nutrition, etc.

They are up in Greeley but do have fill appts in Lafayette once a week. (I hope they expand this, appts are getting harder to get)

He did the original surgery, but I see a PA when getting fills. Either Steve or Paula. They're equally good at what they do. And Steve is quite handsome, so there's a plus!

His two nurses are excellent! I always enjoy seeing them.

The only thing I don't like is the drive
