Very nice, quiet, polite.He explained the procedure and also the pros and cons of gastric bypass and lapband. The office was very helpful during the process. Very high rating so far.
He looks so young!!! But, man - he is terrific! Very thorough, explained everything. Very conservative in his approach to the surgery (which I liked) and he is very personable..smiles alot.
The office staff is fabulous! From my first call to the symposium I attend before my consult to the nutritionist and insurance specialist - all were amazing! Very friendly, yet knowledgeable, upfront.
All of the risks and aftercare were addressed - now I am in the process of testing. I'll update as the process goes along...
Dr. Chau seemed to me to be an empathetic, sensitive, and decent person. My first impression was correct. He was upfront and candid about the possible problems that I could face.
After my wife was comfortable with him, and the insurance company approved, I had surgery on April 19, 2005.
At that time I weighed 435 pounds.
As of January 16, 2006, I now weigh 237 pounds.
I slowed down over Christmas, but mostly due to innactivity. I am still losing weight at decent clips.
Dr. Chau was there with me all the way after surgery. I was one of the unlucky ones who had complications. Dr. Chau would call me to check in on my well being.
Unfortunately I needed a second surgery, and Dr Chau was brilliant throughout.
Dr. Chau is without a doubt the only positive experience I have ever had with doctors. If you need the surgery, and I did, he is wonderful.
He is also very transparent about everything. He goes out of his way to make certain that he knows that you know what he is explaining to you.
I feel very postive about every aspect of this experience. Both the surgery and the surgeon have been great for me.
My first impression of Dr Chau is that he is very kind and gentle. My husband even liked him. His office staff was very enthusiastiac and very personable.
I personally witnessed that he is very concerned about the feelings of his patients.
As far as aftercare, he explained thatI may see him at least 8 times the first year.
His aftercare schedule was already explained before surgery and my next two visits were planned while I was in the hospital.
Dr. Chau was very thorough with his explinations of the surgery as well as the risks. They had an open house before I went for my consultation so I felt very well informed.
