Everything has gone smooth so far. Dr. Kirshenbaum and his staff have been very friendly and helpful! The Crown Point Surgery Center was very nice also.

Dr. Kirshenbaum was very professional and experienced. I knew I would not qualify for insurance to pay for surgery and started looking at other options. The entire office staff were great. Doctor and nutriounist did a phone consult along with info per e-mail. I flew to Denver the day before surgery and flew back 24 hours after. No complications. It would be easier being able to get fills in town but he does do free fills for 3 months, then just $15 afterwards.

I had surgery the beginning of the year. I found Dr Kirshenbaum through lapband.com after reading numerous postings on his great program. I decided to contact the office and was impressed with the professionalisim of his office staff. I spoke for nearly 30 minutes to his Bariatric Coordinator Natalie and she answered all of my questiions. I went ahead and had my surgery and have no regrets what so ever. It has been the biggest life changing experience I have ever done.

I would like to say that choosing Dr. Kirshenbaum for my surgery was an easy decision for me. I have known Dr. Kirshenbaum for a number of years. His professionalism and expertise are exceptional. His office staff is very helpful and never mind answering any questions you may have. I would highly recommend Dr. Kirshenbaum for the lap-band procedure. His self-pay price beats anyone in the country. He does numerous patients from out-of-state. I have no reservations on recommending Dr. Kirshenbaum.

Dr. K was great as well as his staff. They were always available to answer questions especially after surgery when I didn't know if my pain was normal or a complication. I have had 3 fills and they were all so easy. I was really scared about the fills but they made me feel so comfortable.

Dr. Kirshenbaum and his staff are great. My only complaint is that I don't feel I was quite prepared for how I would feel after surgery. Other wise I would say that Dr. K helped make this an easy process.
