His experience is in gastric bypass. However, he was trained up in NJ by Dr. Ortiz & his entourage. He states he has done THIRTY (30) band placements and FIVE (5) Revisions. He states that his complication rate is about 10%... 3 out of the 30 bands he installed had port leaks, or other minor, minimal complications which were quickly fixed. Personal Note: Spoke to Dr Larson personally. Seems like an honest/caring doctor. Our conversation was not rushed...he took the time to answer all my questions & I'm not even a patient. Dr Larson WELCOMES Mexican banded patients & went on to explain that Dr Ortiz from Mexico came over to New Jersey and trained him and a team of doctors in NJ prior to his relocation to Florida. ?This information is current & up to date as of 10/4/04.
