Dr Vernon appear to be very good at what sherndoes and very encouraging about makeing sure her patients do everything that need to dornso that they will have a successful experience.
I met Dr. Vernon on my pre-op consultation. She seems to have a good mix of empathy and confidence. She was clear and concise about the risks and rewards of RNY. I am glad I chose her. rnNow that I have had RNY surgery, I can CONFIDENTLY say - wow, I picked the right person! She is wonderful. I even love going to my check ups...lol. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Vernon. rn(Sorry - says that 100% positive remarks aren't helpful...but I REALLY have only praise for this compassionate and talented woman)rnrnJennifer, who works with Dr. Vernon - for what seems to be everything - is fabulous. She has over-delivered on promises. If she promised to have information out in the next couple of weeks, it got there 3 days later. She is simply on top of things and helps the process move along nicely. rnrn

Dr. Shikora is top-notch. He is professional, cutting edge, a very good surgeon, and leads a program that is well-deserving of their title \"Center for Excellence.\"
Excellent , friendly, knowledgeable staff if you need to be in a hospital this isthe one I would go to again.
Dr. Shikora is the Head of Surgery at Tufts Obesity Consult Center. He is very professional and experienced. The program at Tufts in one of the best. They have an integrated pre and post operative program that participants must attend. This includes attending support groups, seeing a psychologist, exercise physiologist, physician, nutritionist, etc. They stress follow-up for long-term success. Dr. Shikora is personable, but not overly warm. For me, I wanted the best surgeon even if he didn't offer a lot of warm fuzzies. Everything went very well and I would recommend Dr. Shikora to anyone looking at bariatric surgery.
Dr. Vernon first stuck me as a very straight forward person. She is honest and is well liked in the facility where she works. I did some research on her before choosing and everyone had nice words for her. She was very blunt during our consult explaing the risk vs the benefits of the procedure and that I would have to follow up with the office to stay on track. She emphaized that this is a tool to use in order to achive weight loss and that only by changing my behaviors would I keep it off as there are ways to cheat.
Dr. Robinson has been very optimistic since the first day that I mat him. He hs wonderful bedside manners and a dry sense of humor. I find him easy to talk to and he answers all of my questions no matter how insignificant they may be. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to go through lap-band surgery.
