Surgeon Testimonial

Timothy Custer, M.D.
When I went for my first consultation, I wasn't sure what I thought of Dr. Custer. He seemed nice but I try not to make decisions on first impressions until I've gotten to known someone a little better. By the end of my hospital stay I now know he has a great bedside manner and is a skilled and caring surgeon.

I had my surgery out of the Barix Center in Columbus, OH and the majority of the staff I dealt with there was great.

I have already told a couple of people of Dr. Custer and I will continue to do so! I feel that he truly cares about the well being of his patients and wants to see us succeed in our new lives!

I am so glad that not only is he a successful surgeon but he has a great bedside manner! He even made room for me at his second office at the last minute so he could remove my drain because my discharge nurse mis-scheduled my appointment and he wanted to get it out on time!!

Very glad I chose him for my partner in this journey!!!

4 days since surgery
on May 25, 2008 7:01 pm
And so far so good!!  

My surgeon told me before he released me on Friday (less than 48 hours at the hospital let alone surgery) that I was a new record for the speed for which he completed my particular surgery.  I am recovering very well at this point and have only taken 2 of the pain pills they sent me home with.  I am having issues with the fluid intake and I am trying very hard to up them.  It didn't seem so hard to take in 64oz. a day when I had a full stomach, now, with having to watch how much I take in at a time, it is harder to make sure I get it all in.  I made my protein level today though!!  Yeah!!
