Go to the FIND A DOC page, hit browse, hit Michigan on the map and you'll find them listed and you'll be able to read what others opinions have been. From everything that I hear on the board, they are AWESOME.

I have heard nothing but great things about both of these surgeons. I was actually tempted to use them myself, but I didn't want to go on yet another diet before surgery. So I went with BTC, but these guys are great, try talking with some of their patients. Good Luck!

I have had their surgery. Dr. Wood did mine and Sapala assisted. They are, as far as I'm concerned the best there is. Their credentials are phenomanal. I am 5 1/2 months out and have lost 90 lbs. The micropouch is a God send....not one single revision has had to be done with a micropouch. It does not stretch. I am completely satisfied and at ease about the health a future size of my pouch. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. I'm more than happy to talk about them and their wonderful surgery technique!!!
