Since I have reached the goal set by the referring Doctor Daniel Vargo I feel that my seeing Dr. Simonetti is no longer necessary. I had the surgery in May 2022. I will leave option open to have another visit if I need it, because I could possibly use advice in the future about retaining my weight loss.

I didn't like having to go over everything with the fellow and the 2 other people in the room, and then having to repeat everything again once Dr. Simonetti came in for appt. I totally understand about students being in the room but I felt there was just too many people in the room at the same time while we were trying to manage my care.

I think Dr simonetti should be used as the model for how a doctor should interact with her patients. She is such a great communicator and so compassionate and most of all is so effective as a physician. Under her guidance I have lost over 125 lbs to date and have not had a month where my weight has bounced up. I feel so very lucky to be under her medical care.
