US Bariatrics Bariatric Center
It’s been 1.5 years since Dr. Koppman fixed my hernia. My scars are completely faded and unnoticeable in a bikini. I wrote a blog on the post-surgery activity and was grateful to have returned to full fitness training quickly, as well as work as an international flight attendant with little concern. I have had no complications since. It was worth the aggravation.
I also got a great referral from Dr. Koppnan for a vascular surgeon in town to have a varicose vein fixed. I’m grateful it can be dealt with via ablation and no surgery.
I was just sleeved on 9/14/11 with Dr. Koppman. I have to say that my entire experience with him, his staff and even the nurses at Flagler was the best ever. From start to finish, everyone has been patient and kind, but they also make you do what you have to do (like walking after surgery). This is by far my best experience in any medical setting. I would recommend Dr. Koppman and US Bariatrics to anyone considering the surgery. I was absolutely terrified since I have never had surgery and have a young child at home, but they did their best to comfort me.
-He was a very approachable, friendly person.
-My impression did not change of him.
-His office staff in friendsly and knowledgeable.
-The only thing I do not like is his lack of experience, but only in comparison to his partner, Robert Marema.
-I am not as of yet knowledged in his aftercare. I will update.
- He did use honesty in our meetings, but he is very confident.
- On a scale of one to ten it would be a 9.
-Both bedside manner and surgical competence are great.
Through Pre op he is just very nice and comforting. I am not worried at all.
I have had such an awesome experience with U.S. Bariatric and Dr Perez. He is a caring doctor who has answered any of the questions I have. I had no issues with the surgery. Quick recovery and healing! The Staff is awesome, I wish I could mention them all. The nurses, Candy and Peggy are incredible! Any issue or question give them a call and they respond quickly and both are happy positive people which is nice to see at the appointments. THey have a start to finish program with everything we need to be successful.
