"Dr. Lautz and his staff are the BEST! Yes they have a very busy office but I have never felt rushed or been treated impersonally by anyone at his practice. Highly recommended. I am participating in a study there with Joslin Diabetes Clinic called SLIMM T2D and everyone affiliated with them are extremely personable and professional!"-DaddyG58

"I am SO extremely thankful to have been referred to Dr. Forman, because he has completely changed my life. Back in 2007, I had undergone the Lap-Band procedure after years of trying (and failing) to lose weight. About 5 years later, I found myself left with over 100 lbs of weight lost, and a whole bunch of loose, sagging skin that served as a constant reminder of how big I had once been. After speaking with my now bariatric doctor, Dr. Barry Greene, whom was not my bariatric surgeon at the time of my banding, he unhesitatingly told me about Dr. Forman and assured me if I was certain about having plastic surgery done, Dr. Forman was THE go-to guy. And boy, was he right!"-shayna A.

"Dr. Galvani is a very professional man he likes his patients to do what he needs them to do in the amount of time given When he deals with his patients he also has all of his staff working with you from the time you enter his office until it is time for the surgery, He likes things done a certain way and expects those orders to be carried out that is why he is as good as he is. he very well disciplined. As you got to know him he is a doctor that cares deeply for his patients and explains everything to you in detail and answers all question." -tendervitals

“The internet is one of the primary resources for patients to use when researching weight loss surgery. There is a ton of information out there about weight loss surgery, but not all of it is accurate. I like to send my patients to ObesityHelp because it’s a reputable website where I know my patients can find good, solid information about what to expect before, during and after surgery.”-Dr. Henry R. Moore III

George Fielding, MD

Contributing sponsor since June 2004!

"After researching Dr. Fielding I was definitely impressed with his credentials and after meeting with him i was floored and brought to tears. Dr. Fielding is so personable and so real I could not have prayed hard enough to meet a surgeon I felt that comfortable with. Having had the surgery himself and being one of the top surgeons to train other doctors in the us as well as abroad he gained my trust. Not only does he understand what your going through from a surgeon's prospective but he totally relates to you from a patient's position. and understands your emotions because he himself experienced those same emotions."-SYRENITY
