Surgeon Testimonial

Paul J. Guske
Dr.Guske and his partners are great. From my first impression of him to how I feel about him now, he has the best bedside manner and really cares about his patients. His office staff is also very helpful and knowledgeable. I have no complaints. I just wish that I would have seen him more while in the hospital but from a nurses perspective, I know that docs need to rotate who rounds on patients. He did surprise me one night post-op and stop in, while I thought it would be Dr.Kane. His nurse practitioners are also very good and knowledgeable. Their office stresses the importance of aftercare and support groups. I personally have had no complications and if I had any questions about risks, they were all addressed very thoroughly. I give Dr.Guske and his staff at the Kane center a 9.5. He had a great bedside manner and is very competant when it comes to caring for me.

SAW DR.GUSKE TODAY AND GOT THE GO-AHEAD FOR WORK.  I've lost 30 pounds so far and everything has improved health wise.  Just need to keep on track with the diet and start exercising.

2 and a half weeks out

Well,
Surgery was 2 1/2 weeks ago and I'm still going.  I have had my struggles but for the most part, it was worth every ounce of pain.  I only wish that I had done this earlier but I am an the loser's bench now and happy to see the weight starting to come off.  Just a little longer and I will be able to enjoy more of a soft diet,  Pureed and blended foods aren't my favorite but you do what ya gotta do.
