Dr. Perez or other S. Florida docs

Has anyone used Dr. Michael Perez or US Bariatrics in Ft. Lauderdale? I'd like to hear your experiences - good or bad. I looked on obesityhelp.com, but there weren't very many recent entries in the patient feedback area. I live in Key West and am looking for a doc in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area to perform the procedure. I'll probably self-pay, so any feedback on that would be appreciated also.

Thanks - Dani

I do not know about Dr. Perez. But there are two Dr.'s at Cleveland Clinic in Weston who do the procedure, Dr. Rostenthal and Dr. Szomstein. They come highly recommended. I am having my procedure done by Dr. Szomstein. They require you to attend one of the seminars before meeting with the surgeon. You can call over there and ask one of the nurses, the number is 954-659-5239. Good luck!

I really like him and his office staff alot. It helps that I also work in one of the hospitals that he does surg. in. A few years ago he was the Trama Surg. also.

Dr. Perez did my LAP-BAND® in August - my experience with him and his staff could not have been better. He told me he had done more than 300 lap-bands. Highly recommend U.S. Bariatrics.
