Surgeon Testimonial

Richard S. Oakley , M.D.
I felt on first impression he was very caring and dedicated to his patients. Now that I'm post-op I know this to be true. Pre-op and post-op his staff at office visits were very friendly. Pre-op phone calls could be more informative in my view.
He emphasizes aftercare and wants to see you after certain time spans with lab work done ahead of time for him to review. The first year is included but after that you will be charged office calls.
He does not sugar coat the risks in his lengthy speech at your initial office visit. I would rate him as excellent and would have him again if I had to do it over. I feel he has great surgical competence and a excellent bedside manner.I know it may sound to good but I really feel this way. This is my personal view and I'm not making any statements about anyone elses experience.

    Suzan, Congratulations and best wishes for a smooth and speedy recovery! Don't forget to take a pillow and/or a Bari Buddy (available at the OH.com store) with you to the hospital, you won't be sorry that you did! You need the pillow for all kinds of comforts from coughing to side support and frankly sometimes the hospital pillows just aren't really great. Also, you might inquire with the hospital about whether a fan will be available to you, if not and permitted, you might take one with you. The combination of the narcotics and the leg cuffs they use to prevent clots makes many people very very hot! bright blessings to you in this part of the journey and much success too!~Caroline O.--
