I had my surgery on 9/14/2011. Dr. Collier and his staff are great. He always takes the time to answer all my questions and concerns. His staff handled all the insurance paperwork and got me approved on the first try. My surgery went off flawlessly and I have lost 28 pounds so far. Dr. Collier will tell you what to realistically expect and encourage you to achieve your personal goals. I actually enjoy going to the doctor now!!!
