Side Note:
Dr Larson states he has recently moved to Florida from NJ.
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.
