I am also in the Boston area and I was sleeved 2.5 weeks ago by Dr. Scott Shikora out of Brigham & Women's. Last year I was living in Switzerland and was going to get sleeved there and was then transferred back to the US for work. I asked my surgeon there who he would recommend in Boston and he highly recommended Dr. Shikora. I work in the pharmaceutical industry and have literally met and worked with hundreds of doctors and I can tell you that Dr. Shikora is one of the best I have met. He is very experienced, pragmatic and easy to talk to. He will take the time to fully evaluate your situation which I am sure would be helpful to you. I hope this helps!
