"Dr. Hodge left a GREAT first impression
His staff is wonderful. Judy and Ann especially. So far I do not dislike anything about him or his staff. He has a lot of patience (pardon the pun) He is very knowledgable and makes you feel very comfortable. On 10/20/04 I met with Dr. Hodge again. He answered all of my questions (and I had plenty). He confirmed that Dr. Jamie Ponce will be scrubed in not just there to proctor. I feel good about that as he has a lot of lap band experience. Ironic...Dr. Hodge trained Dr. Ponce in general surgery and now Dr. Ponce is training Dr. Hodge in Lap band surgery.
Second impression is the same, but better than the first. He seems to be great all around."
"Dr, Branter was sensitive to my needs. The surgery I had was a breeze. I healed quickly and plan to see him after WLS. He is very experienced and his staff is G-d sent."
