Surgeon Testimonial

Patricia S. Choban, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Wow, This lady is known and loved from here to the West Coast so I was very excited to meet her and it was a wonderful 1st meet! She is so warm,down to Earth, straight shooter and seems so one on one concerned for YOU! She makes you feel human and not less than. She takes this VERY SERIOUS! I think she'll have a great bedside manner. I hope. The back office staff are very friendly and outgoing.They are jovial and upbeat and very informative. I like that
I personally myself,don't feel the same however about the front office staff. They made me feel uncomfortable.Maybe it was just me, I was nervous. Perhaps they need a a few more employees up front to ease the stress.I wish they were as warm and kind as the back staff.Especially on empathy and communication.
I am confident that Dr. Choban will be as great as every one says she is.She is the most important part of my surgery after all.

I wanted to take a moment POST-OP to say that indeed Dr. Patricia Choban is as awesome as I thought she would be. This professional woman is an Angel in her right to the Bariatric community and I am sure she is just as awesome in any surgical capacity.
I was a little disappointed that she went out of town the day after my surgery but it all worked out and those she left in charge of me took great care of me and I came home without incident.Her honesty,wisdom,humor and true dedication to her patients shows the moment she walk through the door. I would recommend this Doctor to anyone with out hesitation.

So.....people,you..... all say...we are here for you, you have friends,just ask, reach out!!! Buh humbug....NOT!!! I am so fricken sad and lonely. I am now facing cervical surgery through my throat! On Monday I am being set up for Thoracic epidural injections and then on to THORACIC surgery that requires my chest to be opened and my lungs collasped he said and go in that way,and I am ALONE! I am always alone!!!! And I am always so scared.No one to share a cup of coffe with or have dinner for, or go shopping with or make a decision with. This PC is not a friend. It can not bring you a flower,a card, hold my hand,remeber your damn birthday,hug me, cry with me, go to lunch or church with me and yet I run ro it each and every day, looking for love,comfort,happiness,joy,and a sense of feeling complete and whole and it is all hogwash. EVERYONE seems to have a husband or boyfriend or girlfriend or someone!!!! WHAT IS SO BAD AND WRONG WITH ME???? It is almost unthinkable that I am not suicidal.I am not...I want to live and be happy and have fun and live life to the fullest and I search and seek and look and wait.BUT.... I seem to drag the bottom of utter abyss every day and not a soul cares about me.And if they some how do it is something that seems to be of a great effort for God's sake. WHY????? Even my own daughters seem to just tolerate me and pretend to care cause it's there job! They act like ....they HAVE to care. BUT they don't!Like a doctor who barely seems to listen or care. Just ask the questions like a robot or a machine.I don't need help I need someone.!!!!!!To care,love me, need me,want me.I have so much to offer. I have so much inside of me to share with someone. I try and try and try and try and try till I am blue in the face to reach out,help others,show them the real unconditional love,affection and admiration that I have in my heart and people are so shallow and callous and surface and fake and mean and ruthless and phoney as hell.They are short,talk to you like your a piece of trash in the street. Speak to you as if you the most disgusting thing on the planet.They don't know how to show respect or even what it is. Yet they do not ike that exact same kind of treatment when it is happening to them. I send cards,I call. I don't get cards, I don't get calls.Jesus Christ, I am a very nice, good, caring, loving,do any damn thing for that I possibly can and I am so tired of hurting and being shit on and pretending that I am not heart broken and torn and bruised to the bone. I am physically in sooooooooooooooo much pain and people ask, so, how are you? PPpfffff they really don't care, they are too busy to really listen and if they do or read this, they roll their eyes or,huff me off under their breath or start whining about something utterly irrelevant to what I am saying as if they didn't hear a damn word I ever said.What makes it even worse????
Is when I simply can no longer take anymore and I blow up then THAT IS ALL THEY SEE AND HEAR! THEN the JUDGEMENTAL HARSH BULLSHIT GETS EVEN WORSE!
WHY?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
