So I'm having surgery Mai 10 and the my surgeon will be Dr.Raishe.  I was wondering if people who had him can give me some feed back on his qualification and bed maners.  Thank in advance!

All I know is that Dr. Raiche is a female....the latest addition to the Ottawa surgery team.  Others who had her will pipe in soon with their direct knowledge.

Hey Brigitte!
Dr, Raiche is a young female that is highly regarded by the nurses, she did my endo scope and was very nice. She was also on rotation the weekend of my surgery. She was brief and to the point, I had no problems with her. I am glad you got her!!!!  YAY !

Thank for reassuring me.  I was hoping for doctor Yelle.  But that would of meen a longer wait.  Just a little nervous.

I had Dr.Raiche as my surgeon the end of September.  My personal experience with her was quite positive.  She was very knowledgeable, and very personnable.  She was in to see me several times in the 2 days I was in the hospital, was quite diligent, and answered any questions I had professionally.  I think you will be in good hands :)  but that is just my personal experience.

I had Dr. Raiche, and was surgery was Jan 26 2012, although I didn't end up with the rny, they did the sleeve and I ended up with a leak, I don't think this was a reflection on her, just one of those things that can happen. Remember they work as a team, I really liked her, she would visit 2x a day and would answer all questions, I do believe you are good hands.

Thank you so much girls, this is the info I needed, from people who had her has a surgeon.  Just a little last minute nerves I guess.

She was the surgeon I met at the appointment.  She is very nice and has a good bedside manner.

I'm not sure about her skills though as both of my friends had Dr. Yelle.
