I had sleeve surgery with Dr. Raftopoulos and had an amazing experience. Him and his whole team are extremely supportive and I can't say enough good things about the program. My surgery experience at HMC was nothing short of exceptional. The staff are so incredibly compassionate and made me feel comfortable and safe. I will not be going anywhere else for anything medical that comes up in the future. I have a lot of medical anxiety and I've never had so much trust in medical professionals before.
Elana G. Davidson PA-C, the physician assistant who worked here last year, set up the initial program, and who did my intake, is the reason I did not do this program and went to one that offers all the tools available for weight loss (including medications) vs. just surgery. Elana told me, “Why would we give you meds to lose weight? Then you won't learn how to eat?” She had no education on eating disorders. She also was surprised that cannabis caused me to binge eat (really?) because her cannabis product that she takes does not increase her appetite. I am glad to see she is gone. Who knows the extent of the trauma she inflicted on patients because of her horrible communication skills and lack of education in eating disorders.
