The doctor rushed through the visit didn't give me a chance to think over and I never consent to anything. [redacted]

I have no just feedback as far as the way I was treated. I have no issue with anything. The doctors and everybody that were handling me were very nice. And it was a very nice day in Boston. I was able to get out and get some air. All right. Y'all keep doing great work at Brigham and Women's. A great hospital. Saved my mother's life there, too. Have a good day.

The provider was clear but did not explain everything that he definitely wanted done. Waiting on a call from the team to set up appointments and I'll ask them.

Dr Nimeri provided helpful information regarding the various bariatric surgery options for me. I wish we could have spent more time discussing risks for certain topics such as hair loss. He directed me to the online patient group for certain information. He was cordial yet I didn't feel an immediate connection to him so I'm ambivalent about whether he's totally the right fit for me despite his qualifications.

Dr. N thoroughly investigated my health history and explained the procedure options, noting the research, risks and benefits of each. He also showed me diagrams and made notations, which he gave me. He was honest regarding my risks due to a previous surgical procedure and recommended no surgery. I greatly appreciated his explanations & honesty.
