Surgeon Testimonial

Gail Wynn, M.D.
updated!
consult w/ dr. wynn 2/29/07
i really liked everyone so far. i did feel that my time with dr wynn could have been a bit more in depth but i dont have any bad feelings. she was very nice and very willing to put me through the program. im definetly ready!! i cant wait to continue!




consult in 02? (hampton va)

my first impression was a good one i guess. my original surgon was dr. hopson but he was deployed. i dont know anyone whos had dr moscoso for the surgery so im kinda feelin odd about it. i did meet a lady who had him for several surgeries just not wls, and she said he was awesome. he was very nice. his staff was nice, i like his asst. roz. she seems very caring. he strongly emphasizes aftercare and has a very structured plan for it as well. i will be seeing him every 2 weeks for quite some time. which i like. he told me all the risks of the surgery as well as the benefits. i think im going to like him, i just wish i could find someone else whos had him. he only does open and has never lost a paitent. he said hes done @ 150 or so. with no leaks from his paitents personally. the office has done @ 600 with 3 leaks and 1 death from the leak. so i think thats a good thing right? i think bedside manner is a definite must. and surgical competience... well duh. lol as for his overall rating, ill say @ a 7 or 8.(on a scale of 1-10) i havent really spent that much time with him yet. like i said im still a little uneasy because i havent heard from anyone else thats used him.
