I found Dr. Shikora to be an excellent surgeon. Very knowledgable in his field. He shows great concern for his patients and their surgical outcomes. I found him to be much more personable during one on one visits as compared to meetings with large groups. I am lucky to have had him and the rest of the team at the Obesity Consult Center. Thank You for all your help.
Dr. Shikora was wonderful to me. From my first call to the office to my last visit before I moved to VA. My first contact was with Anna. She gave me tons of info and spent a great deal of time talking to me and answering all of my questions. She was my main contact with the office. My first meeting with Dr. Shikora went great. He spent about 15min. going over the surgery and how it could help me. He also went into great detail about what He expected from me as far as weight loss before surgery and why that was very important. I attended several group meetings and met with the nutritionist (Ashini) and the psychologist (Dr. Vogal) and Dr.Saltzman. I felt like all of these people really cared about my progress. The entire office is very commited to givng the best care. They really stress support groups and staying involved after surgery. The only down side to things is how busy the office is. You'll have to stay on top of things to get answers to your questions. As with most medical care. It will be up to you to keep things moving.........
Dr. Shikora and his group are very thorough. There is a waiting time to make sure this is what you want and that you are devoted to attempting to lose weight. he is very serious about this procedure and has cancelled surgeries on people who have gained weight pre-op stage. He is the best surgeon in this are who performs this surgery. His surgery time is 1 1/2 hrs compared to 4-5 at other surgeons. I would highly recommend him...
great
