I don't know if this is any help, but my surgeon (Dr. Brian Long) just moved to Sibley. He's wonderful. I'm military, and I use Walter Reed. Other than being an old building(apparently they're building a new one), it was amazing. I still cannot believe the amazing care I recieved there. I don't know how much help that is! Good Luck!

I want to add that this surgery for my daughter is a non-bariatric surgical proceedure. we need to be in the city so any suggestions? thanks bb

Hi all, I have my first meeting with Dr. Afram out of DC on August 5th. Seminar then private meet. Anyone here a patient of his or met with him? I'm just looking for some feedback as to the type of doctor he is, what to expect, etc. Biggest decision of my life so far and don't want to make the wrong choice of doctor. Any input is much appreciated! Thanks! Heather
