David Le Bariatric Surgeon M.D.
Dr. Le is awesome! I can't say enough good things about him. He is absolutely the best-- his technique as a surgeon is very advanced. I had NO problems and after a week I didn't even feel like I had surgery... I was as good as new... He explains everything to the best of his ability, he's prompt and checked on me 2x a day while I was in the hospital. The staff as SSF Kaiser is also remarkable from Lorna, Giselle and the nurses. You won't go wrong going through the bariatrics program. But be prepared to lose the weight prior to surgery because it's a MUST!

My surgeon was so handsome lol
.. my first impression was how cute and young he was.
after I got to know him, he made me feel really comfortable and knew what was best for me. I completely trusted him.
- I dont think there was anything I disliked about Dr. Le.
Im not too familiar with his after care program, because I lost my insurance.
Although he did want to do a 3,6,9,12 month followup.
I would rate him a 20, out of 10 =)
I met with Dr. Le for the first time yesterday, 12/2/10. He was very pleasant and professional, though he seemed extremely busy. He answered all of my questions and gave information about his education and experience. I had initially planned on having the bypass, but after talking with Dr. Le I have decided to go for the "sleeve". His knowledge and expertise helped aid my decision. The calendar wasn't ready for the January appointments, but I was insured that I would receive a call soon, and sure enough I got one today, the very next day? In addition to Dr. Le's professionalism, the staff is excellent and professional, Lorna was great over the phone and took her time to explain the scheduling for the pre-op appointment. I am very comfortable this far with the team that will be assisting during this journey.

Dr. David Le seems great. He explains things very well, the staff is wonderful. I would rate him as EXCELLENT, I feel very good about him being my surgeon. He answers all questions, he is very pleasant, and he is very matter of fact. He explained the risks one by one.
He has a lovely bedside manner and he seems to be extremely surgically competent, but I shouldn't have an opinion on this until after my surgery! (then i'll update this)
Dr Le saved my life. Plain and simple. He and the Kaiser staff were very efficient and personable. They did a great job easing my nerves and were always there when I needed them. He looks a lil young initially but I saw him right after my surgery and my 2 week appointment and he looked alot more mature and experienced for some reason. I guess when you go in for surgery you expect your surgeon to have white hair and glasses. (I don't know) lol I can't stress enough how impressed I was with the staff and my private room.
Nothing negative to say...I was in alot of pain but nurses took care of that and helped me "walk the gas out" but all that is normal with this type of surgery
When I first met doctor Le thought about how young he looked, I was a little scared to be honest. Be when we started talking about my procedure I was excited. He made me feel as if everything would be okay, and I knew I could trust him. The staff at KKSF is made up of a bunch of awesome people. They were just as happy as me once they learned that I was having surgery!!! I think that anyone who has doctor Le is lucky, because he really does care about the well being of he patients.
