South San Francisco Medical Center Kaiser Hospital

My first impression of Dr. Li was that he seemed young for a surgeon, but he was also very nice and friendly.

His office staff is very helpful and they all seem to know what they're doing.

They emphasize after care a great deal. They also require you visiting a nutritionist, a psychiatrist, and losing 20 lbs. prior to surgery.

He was very thorough with the risks of this surgery.

Overall I would give him a very high rating so far.

Both surgical compentence and bedside manner are important.

Had the initial consultation on 08/29/03. It went great. Dr. Li was very thorough and answered all of mine & my Husbands questions. He expects a lot, but I had all my paperwork in order and had already lost 35lbs in the past couple of months for this, so he's not requiring any more. I have 1 more appt on 9/29 when I will get my surgery date. >>> Got my date: 11/07/03 YAY, though I must say the return appt was pretty much a waste of time, we went over the same stuff as the 1st appt & they hadn't sent the letter for ins approval, when I was told we were putting this appt out a month so that we would HAVE the approval in hand when making the appt. OH well, since I BC PPO, there should be no problem. At least we got the date!!!

Dr. Li is awesome! First time I met him I thought he was too strict about pre-op weight loss. Over a period of 8 months he had me lose weight before he would do surgery. I am SO glad he made me do that. I really appreciate his genuine concern for me. All I can say is Dr. Li is great!

I went for my initial consult on 10/18/02. My surgeon will be Dr. Robert Li, who works with Dr. Wetter's program. Dr. Lee was very professional. He answered all my questions. My hubby was even impressed too!!
I really liked him. The office staff was very friendly and supportive.

I have been to see Dr. Li, a total of three times. I last went on 2/5/03. I really like him. After having some problems with my paperwork getting processed due to change in office staff, I am very happy. Thanks to Yvette and Tonya for getting my paperwork off and approved in 5 days!!!!!

he is a younger doctor. he can be a pain in the butt, likes to dangle the carrot on amount of weight to lose before he will schedule(lost 10 that he wanted, then he said 10-15 more). the best person to talk to in his office is terry or yvette. terry was the 1 to actually go to him & say that i had showed my desire to lose the necessary weight & got dr. li to schedule me.

Dr. Li is very nice, and easy to work with. Wants you to be under 400 pounds before surgery.

Dr. Li was very informative and careful to answer all my questions. He covered all aspects of the surgery, good and bad. I was comfortable with him.

My husband and I have both had consults with Dr. Li who is now working in Dr. Wetter's office in Burlingam, California. My first impression was that he seems very young. But he was very nice, and patient with me. He explained everything. He was in no hurry and wanted me to understand all the possibilities.<p> He wants to make sure you are serious, and he wanted my husband and I both to lose 10-20 pounds before he would schedule our surguries. He made me understand the outcome of my surgery would depend on my following my diet, and their aftercare program.<p> I would say he is very knowledgable, and has an overall good bedside manner.
