Surgeon Testimonial Nissim Geron At first I was sceptical as I was really hoping to have my surgery (revision) in Jerusalem but after the original surgeon cancelled my op, I was back on the search. When I returned, Dr. Geron was direct and honest about the risks in this being my 3rd WLS yet comforting at the same time. The office staff is nice . My only problem was that I needed the secretary (and the surgeon was on vacation) and she was out due to a family death. But when Dr. Geron returned, I met with him in his office -and not his clinic. People in Israel needing a revision should know about him and his hospital. Not everyone should have to go only to a hospital in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem to get quality care. It also exists in the northern part of the country. I have my 2nd appointment after surgery coming up. As my incisioned opened to a seroma, I am seeing him one week after release from hospital and then two weeks later. When in hospital, the dietician sat with me for more than half an hour privately while I was hospitalized explaining and answering my questions. The surgical ward is smaller than some other hospitals I had visited. This contributed to a "family" atmosphere between patients and nurses and even the doctors. If a patient happened to be out of the room during Rounds, a doctor would find them and motion for them to return to their room. Nothing was done in rebuke. Member Interests

And the Oddyesy Continues....
Well, my oddysey continues. Today I was in Tel Aviv. The doc was nice and agreed to do the op but I have no idea when as I have to wait for a phone call from the Medical Secretary which could take a month and she would tell me when to come for an appointment to see the anestheolgist with all my medical papers of tests and procedures and then I would get called for a date for surgery. However that could be 2 weeks after the 1st call before I see the anestheologist and 2 months before a call about when surgery. This hospital and docs in TA are very skilled and "popualar" and as such there is a long waiting list and they also deal with cancer patients and emergency cases of G-D Forbid bombing and explosions. I'm glad I'm keeping my other appointments - one in a different hospital in TA the 1st of January and another in Tiberias. If I have to I will go thru the list of the other 10 docs until I find one skilled enough to take me on. I have not and will not give up on me! 0 Comment(s)
