I went in for my pre-bariatric surgery meeting and she asked me if I have ever heard of a diet. I was shocked and left the office in tears. Obviously I had to do many pre surgical exams and make this decision for my future based off of many things not just about dieting. I found her very unprofessional and she spoke down to me as I am younger than her. Would never go back.

I have never met doctor which will look in to your eyes so deeply, trying to read my soul. Trying to see my problems from inside. Not just to treat the symptoms, but roots. Very caring and spending time with you, as much as needed. No rush.

I'm with Dr. Venikova for5 yaers. It takes sometimes a long time to get in, but that's because she spends as much time with patients as they neeed. She is extremely sympathetic, caring and thorough.
