"My first impression of Dr. Sooriash, was that he is personable, yet disaplined. He takes a stern attitude and gives you the risks up front. His office staff is wonderful and worked with me, helping me to get my surgery approved, although I did all the leg work. He does not give a lot of info about surgical specifics unless asked and seems to think some questions are insignificant. All and all I am comfortable with him, but I am a self starter and do research, so finding info has not been limited to him....
I am now nine months post-op and doing very well, I have lost a total of 104lbs since I started my new life commitment (5/02) and 72lbs have come off since I began my walk with Dr. Sooriash (8/02..thanks Doc!). Dr. Sooriash is a wonderful surgeon and a great doctor to work with. I have found him to be very caring in a no non-sense way and he always has a ready smile that makes your day! His sense of humor is growing on me!!He let's you know that he is with you for the long run, that what he does doesn't end with the cutting and stapling (of which he does a great job)!! Now we begin our walk together seeking the removal of all my extra skin (hoping the insurance company will once again step up to bat)....we are taking the steps (and hoop jumping) to document all that is required for approval..wish us luck."
