 Greetings!

Rating your Doctor has become an important way to measure your satisfaction with him/her.  This month, we will discuss what options you have.. . . and make it easy for you.

rating doctors

Do You Rate?  Why?
It is very helpful when you rate doctors.  This provides comfort for many who are considering healthcare options.  Of course, we would LOVE for you to rate our doctors, since it helps in various ways, especially with insurance carriers, etc.  When people search on Google for "bariatric surgery", our website comes up on the 5th page!!!!  Supposedly, these types of reviews help with search positions. 

We have provided some links that you might consider.
