Shawn Garber Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS, FASMBS

I'm three months post op and very happy Dr Garber was my surgeon. My opnion has not changed from the first appointment. I had done a lot of research before hand, and I was very confident going into surgey. After surgey, when I had an eating problem, Dr Garber knew exactly what I was doing wrong.
The office staff was great and his PA Donna Franco is the best. I can't even complain about the wait, as you wait in most doctors offices.

Very professional, first appt. was a long wait.

I met Dr Garber on 10/21/04, I knew within 5 minutes that he was the guy for me, confident but not cocky, very smart but never talked down to me. He explained the procedure and the risks and made me feel very optimistic about the whole process. My one complaint, and I was prepared for it, was the 90 minute wait, but the friendly staff made it bearable.

I meet with Dr. Garber on 9/23/04 and felt very at ease with him. I have been reading so much about the different WLS's that I didnt have too many questions for him. I did get to meet his assoociate, and the nutritionist on staff. Both were fantastic. Everyone in the office is wonderful!!

After attending his support group oddly enough at the request of my previous surgeon, I liked his style, love the hospital where he performs (had my two kids there) and was sold by all of the happy patients he had. Nice guy who answers emails quickly and personally. Office staff, professional. Fabulous nutritionist.

dr. garber office on my first impression was this is the place to be. I have no regret with the staff and my doctors. i would recommend people to his office. I am now going into the aftercare. I am not able to discuss this part in detail, but can say before i was very informed about all that would be done. I have not been told wrong. i rate my doctor a ten.

Dr. Garber was a friendly and very skilled surgeon. He truly puts his patients health as his top priority. He was very informative about the surgery and was willing to answer any questions that I had. I am glad that I chaged surgeons and that now Dr. Garber will be doing my surgery. He knows his capabilties and I trust them. He is an excellent surgeon.

His office staff is amazing. His PA and nutritionist are the best that I have encountered.

He address the risks of surgery and was willing to go over every detail. I would give him a ten out of ten.

I was scheduled to have surgery with another surgeon and the surgery was cancelled the friday before. Surgery was to proceed that monday. I saw Dr. Garber four days later and was suprised at how thorough he was and all that he wanted his patients to do to ensure that you were at peak health. My prevous surgeon had a great personality so I felt at ease with him, but Dr. Garber's skill and concern for me as a whole was much more impressive.

<p align="left">My first impression of Dr. Garber was that he was very knowledgeable and he had kind eyes. His staff seems very friendly and helpful. I believe he is very dedicated to you as a person before the surgery and emphasizes alot on was to expect. He addressed the risks of surgery and how important after care is to me. He and his staff went through the surgery and what would be expected of me before and after.He is along way from my hometown and it will be hard for me to get back and forth to see him. However I feel very comfortable with him and his staff so I believe it all will be worth it to have him do my surgery.

The staff at Dr. Garbers office was friendly
and helpfull. Dr. Garber seemed competent and answered all my questions. All my phone calls were returned promptly. He addresses all issues in a strait forward manor. I do get the impression that he prefers bypass to banding. He cites the previous statistics but does admit that recent band studies are more favorable. His in house nutritionist is adement about the necessity of lifestyle changes and encourages after care. This doctor came highly reccomended and has up to this point lived up yo his reputation.
