Peter LePort Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

Dr. Leport was very candid and helpful in my decision for open or lap surgery, I really appreciated that.

My first impression of Dr. LePort is that he is sensitive to my needs. My impression has not changed. The office staff is AMAZING!!! He addressed the risks of surgery beyond the call of duty, I was aware of all things that could go wrong. I would rate Dr. LePort a "10" He has an awesome bedside manner, he has an aboundance of confidence in his surgical competence and he is a good man. Hope his MaMa's proud!!! Gotta love him!

The man that changed my life!

His support staff was the key to my choosing him!!

A+ team!

A heartfelt thanks!!

I met Dr. Leport for the first time on 4-8-03. He seemed very pleasant, busy and quick. I was unprepared with my questions, but I really don't have any questions. I forgot to ask about aftercare, for the incision, but again, I was unprepared. I am looking forward to him doing my surgery, as I feel most comfortable with him and his record, and my friends dad had him.

He was very busy,and late for a meeting so my meeting with him was very brief. He seemed very nice. I will keep you posted as I learn more. His office staff is very busy all the time. They are nice but brisk. I think competence & bedside manner are important. I will write more after I have more comtact with him.

My husband and I met and spoke with Dr. LePort at his seminar on 02/22/03 in Las Vegas, NV. Dr. LePort was very informative. He answered most of our questions and went over the various types of surgery that was available, as well as the risks and benefits. I felt very confident and submitted my insurance information. Dr. LePort's office manager will submit this information to see if my insurance will cover the procedure(s) that I need. Dr. LePort said that he would also remove my gallbladder at the same time of the RNY. I am anxiously awaiting to see if I have appropriate insurance coverage and go from there. I feel that I have at least taken the first step.

Dr. LePort impressed me during our 1st meeting. He seemed interested in me. His office staff has been very pleasant and helpful.

I chose Dr. Leport based on alot of my own research. I found him to be the most experienced bariatric surgeon in my area (Orange County, California). I was so impressed by his reputation that I was willing to pay $2500 of my own money rather than use another surgeon in his office that would have been fully covered by my insurance. Not that the other surgeons in his office are not as qualified, I just felt more comfortable having Dr. Leport perform my surgery because of his reputation.

Dr. Leport's office is very busy but I found the staff to be well organized. I have to say that for me, everything went very smoothly. Because of my current health problems (diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure) I was approved within 3 days.

What I liked best about Dr. Leport's program is the "after care". I have 2 support group meetings each week that I can attend and they just started a meeting for long-term post ops.

Overall, I would rate the Lite Dimensions Program OUTSTANDING!

I was scheduled for dr.chin with the same group but asked to be moved forward as I am paying upfront myself and don't want to be nervous any longer than necessary so they changed me to Dr.LePort whom I have not met yet.

I have made up my mind to have this surgery and am going strictly by reputation,vibes,convenience.

I MET DR. LE PORT ON THURS. 2/13/03. MY SURGERY IS SCHEDULED ON 2/24/03. I LIKED HIM BECAUSE HE IS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT AND UP FRONT TOLD US OF POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS. HE WAS PRETTY QUICK AND TO THE POINT AND ANSWERED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS. HE TOTALLY MADE IT A POINT TO ENCOURAGE ME TO TRY TO GO TO AT LEAST ONE SUPPORT GROUP MEETING. HE ALSO STRESSED THAT THIS IS ONLY A TOOL TO HELP ME W/ WEIGHT LOSS. HE HAS'T PERFORMED MY WLS YET BUT I WOULD TOTALLY REFER HIM TO ANY ONE CONSIDERING WLS. IN FACT, I ALREADY HAVE! I HAVE ONE CLIENT WHO KNOWS DR. LE PORT. BACK IN 1989 HER DAUGHTER WAS IN A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT IN H.B. THE PARAMEDICS TRANSFERRED HER TO FVRH AND HAD TO HAVE IMMEDIATE SURGERY. THEY TOLD HER THAT HER DAUGHTER MIGHT NOT MAKE IT OR IF SHE DID WOULD NEVER WALK AGAIN. DR. LE PORT PERFORMED NECK SURGERY ON HER AND MY CLIENT SAID," HE SAVED HER LIFE" . HER DAUGHTER IS ALIVE AND WALKING LIKE A NORMAL PERSON. THAT JUST RE-CONFIRMES HIS ABILITY AND COMPETENCE. SO I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE 24TH!!!
