I recently had a telemedicine consult with Dr. Richard Novack via Ultimate Bariatrics and am now scheduled for surgery. The dietitian provided me with my pre-op diet information and a word formatted guide that I printed out. Everyone at the office is very professional and have always been quick to respond to any questions. The cost is reasonable compared to other physicians in the area and My primary concern is being in a facility that can handle critical care needs and also being located nearby for follow ups.. I also did not want use of the Davinci robot, and wanted a comprehensive pain and nausea management protocol, which UB seems to have covered from multiple angles. I am happy to update on this site if anyone would like me to hear about how it goes.
