Consult #5

Bottom line:  I really liked this doctor and I am leaning heavily towards choosing him.  

The main way he differs from the last 4 is that he specializes in post-bariatric plastic surgery and 99% of his practice is that.   It is conventional wisdom, backed up by studies, that when it comes to surgery your best odds are to choose someone who does the surgery you need the most often. 

I didn’t say that very well.   But there is a world of difference between having done a few surgeries of this type, doing a few surgeries of this type a month and doing surgeries of this type almost every day.  Two worlds of difference.

Plus this guy is a total nut.   I don’t think he ever sleeps.   I asked his staff and they don’t think he ever sleeps.  He sees patients and in between runs around showing photos on the computer, creating and organizing sets of photos, doing all kinds of other things.   I wouldn’t want to have been in school with him, I wouldn’t want to be married to him, but in a doctor – yeah, I want an insane workaholic perfectionist.   As long as he’s not keeping himself awake with amphetamines or coke.

His fees will be added to the pricing info soon.  Along with a more detailed analysis of what I liked about him and his office.
