Surgeon Testimonial

Troy LaMar, M.D.
I met with Dr. LaMar recently and my first impression was that he seemed nice. He was ready to share all the information with me and he spent a lot of time with me, I didn't feel rushed. His office staff is outstanding. Everyone made me feel comfortable and Heidi did a great job explaining things to me. Dr. LaMar gave me all the risks and percentages of risks. He was extrememly honest which I loved. I will be able to add to this once I have a date and have the surgery.
9-2-07...Well just wanted to add that I think Dr. LaMar is awesome!! He has an excellent bedside manner and really cares about his patients. I had a hernia in January and he wasted no time getting this matter fixed and he is welcoming to your calls when you have questions. So is Pat the nurse in his office!!! I am grateful to this team!!!

Support Group Meeting

Hello all,
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season!!!!!
It is time for our monthly support group meeting!!! Our date this month will be a bit different:
We will be meeting on Monday, January 14, 2008 at 6pm.
We will meet at the same location: Starbucks on Foothill and Rosemead in Pasadena
The address is: 3699 Foothill Bl.  Pasadena, Ca 91107

I will be arriving at Starbucks about 2 hours early to reserve space. Please email me to let me know whether or not you will be attending so I can anticipate how many chairs to save. If you are able to meet me early to help save seats, please let me know.
EMAIL CHANGE:  I may possibly be moving in a few months and needed to change my email. The new email that you can reach me will be:
hunnybear2001@hotmail.com
My current email will still be working..probably until March.


I was thinking we could discuss how our holidays were and if anyone had any struggles or triumphs!!! We are here to support one another through this great journey!!!!
Hope to see you on Monday
Heather

Hello Heather,

I am post op for about 4yrs now, and would like to be part of a support group. Dr. LaMar was my surgeon also, and he was terrific! I live in the Glendale area now, and would like info on your upcoming meeting. You can write me at jocbear777@yahoo.com, or just call me at 909-499-5810. I will also try to write you at the above address. Thanks! Jolene Holzhauer
