Does anyone see Dr. Shikora, sp?
Hi Everyone,
My name is Sara, and I will be moving from Florida back to Boston and are banded, I will be seeing Dr. Shikora at Tufts medical. Anyone see him? Like him, don't like him, how are the office staff,any advice. Also any support group meetings, either by the doctors or their helpers or personally held ones. Thank you and can't wait to move back!!!!
Hi Sara
Dr. Shikora is a well known & well respected, top Bariatric Surgeon in the Boston area. You can probably find a lot of articles on him on the internet. As a former Marbleheader, I wouldnt go anywhere else but to a Boston hospital even though there are programs close by to you. I think the drive into the city is worth it for Dr. Shikora.
Best of luck!

I actually went to a seminar last night at Tufts NEMC and Dr. Shikora was the speaker. He was extremely knowledgeable, sensitive, straightforward and kind. I am having my lap-gastric bypass done at Tufts (not by Dr. Shikora though) and Tufts is THE best hospital for wls. Its also a center of excellence for the wls, which is even better.
