Dr. Miranda is fabulous.  His office staff are few, but mighty.  I was denied FOUR times, but they kept after Aetna until they got me approved, never letting me get discouraged in the process.  He takes time and listens and doesn't try to talk me out of or into anything.  He knows that I know my body better than he possibly could.  He's also done surgery on my daughter-in-law (and 51 weeks later she delivered a baby girl!!!  Just the 'side-effect' we were hoping for!) and now my son has a lap-band, too!  I think we're going to frame a pic of Dr. M and put it up in our family gallery!
