I just got banded on 1/31/13 by Dr. Kurian. LOVE HER! NYU from the office to all the people you deal with the day of were AWESOME....I just got nervous when I was getting on the operating room table and didn't recognize the people and they were super patient with me and waited a few minutes for Kurian to arrive and she literally held my hand while I was put to sleep. Fantastic. Had my first post-op yesterday and they actually fit me in a few hours early and everyone was so supportive and all looks great! I HIGHLY recommend NYU
