Palo Alto Medical Foundation Hospital
She was fantastic I really like her. The staff are friendly and helpful as well. She is tough though and expects you to follow through with all of her instructions. She doesn't have as much structure to her aftercare program but does encourage support groups and has regularly scheduled follow up appointments. Also, she helped me find a good plastic surgeon to deal with my skin issues. I rate her very high. She has a decent bedside manner but is not extremely warm but I value surgical skills much higher than bedside manner.
Dr. Legha Rocks! He is no longer with Kaiser, but with Camino Medical Group. He is so nice, so informative and very caring. He is a wonderful surgeon who really cares. He is very attentive from the first visit to way beyond post op. He has a wonderful support group that meets monthly and I am so pleased I used him!

I loved Dr Foster from the very start! First of all she \"fixed\" my sister and now it's my turn!rnDr. Foster is very smart and I felt a calm when I met her.. I feel like I can trust her!rnrnDr Foster's staff are all awesome and very professional. They make the process easy!rnrnThe thing I like least about this doctor is that she is not in the East Bay. I had to travel a little ways to get to her. Believe me she is well worth it!rnrnFuture patients should know that Dr Foster does not play, she is no nonsense kind of lady.
Dr. Feng is very patient and thorough. His nurse/office manager, Shellie, is delightful!rnrnDr. Feng thoroughly addressed the risks of surgery and I felt completely unhurried as we discussed all aspects and he answered all my questions.rnrnHe seems to respect my intelligence and the research I've done; I feel that he views me as the partner I am in this decision. He congratulated me for working so hard on getting all my pre-op work done, and for losing weight to get ready for surgery.rnrnBoth surgical competence and bedside manner are important to me, and I've got them both with Dr. Feng.
I checked a few well established weight loss center's but wanted to keep my options open. I stumbled into Crystal Springs and called since they were having a meeting that week. rnI was so impressed to meet Dr. Feng holding the meeting himself and thoroughly explained each proceedure. I was so impressed that I finally made my decision for the sleeve and Dr. Feng.rnHe and his assistant Shelly are so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. rnI brought my friend to my first Dr's meeting for support but she liked him so much, she decided to take the plunge with him.rnThank you Dr. Feng and Shelly!
She seemed like a very interested yet no nonsense kind of a doctor. Her staff was very courteous and helpful. They have a very structured before and aftercare program. She took lots of time with me and discussed all the different options available to me and also emphasized the hard work that has to go along with any of the surgeries. She is a very knowledgeable and experienced doctor in the bariatric field. I would definitely recommend her and her office. My only complaint was that she wanted me to lose 10 lbs. pre surgery. I guess that's not a bad thing.
I really like Dr. Wetter. He is quiet, freindly and to the point. His office is very busy and I usually wait about an hour after my scheduled appt. time to actually see him. This is annoying!! I think there must be a lot of people considering WLS these days! I will have more to add after my surgery!
I met Dr Feng through a friend that is also having the surgery. i went with her for her consult. I thought Dr. Feng was great the moment I met him. He was extremeley informative. He offers support groups that he leads and goes over everything there, free of charge. He spent two hours with me and my family answering all our questions and explaining everything in detail.rnrnShelli, his office manger is wonderful too. She is very inspiring and answers all my questions (believe me, I have many). They have both been very encouraging and I trust him completely!
Dr. Foster is an extremely competent, caring, skillful, experienced, and professional surgeon. I highly recommend her.
