Surgeon Testimonial

Phillip Hornbostel, M.D.
My very first impression of Dr.H was that he was very stiff but very informative. But over time I began to see a different side to him as very caring. His staff is wonderful anytime you need them they try there best to help you. If I had to pick something I did not like is that at times he can just be to the point and not give you much office time and you feel rushed but he is a busy man. If you are considering Dr. H just look past his doctor facts and see a man that really dose care about his patient. This center really will stress the importants of aftercare and the vitamins and They make sure you know all the risks so that you can make an informed decision. I would rate this Doctor and His staff Highly .

My story is a little late getting out
on July 29, 2008 10:52 pm
I am new to this website but I have been a post-op for a few year's now I had my surgery in Jan of 04' my body mass was 88.5 (approxmately). I am 4 foot 10 1/2 and the day of surgery I weighed 438. The past 4 1/2 year's has not been easy but Dr.H and  Margie has been my lifeline at times. I was very Skeptical in the begining It took Five doctor's telling me within a six year span that I was not going to make it without WLS. So I scared out of my mind said ok I'm going to Die if I don't But with it I at least had a Fighting chance to make it . I was a Diabetic, I had high blood pressure,I was having chronic Infection's in my leg's. I also had sleep apnea, Severe Depression to the point I did not want to go out of my house! Last but not Even the least of these is My liver was so Enlarged the normal weight is 8 lb. but mine was 35lb's Needless to say it was failing me . So I did have the surgery six weeks after surgery I had lost 86 pounds but that was because my stomach had healed to tightly at the top and wouldn't let even liquid through. Dr.H had to go in with a scope and stretch it open. I have over the year's had some issues with scare tissue and had to have some additional surgeries and a hernia repair but Dr.Hornbostal and his nurses have been wonderful and caring through all . I am so Thankful I decided to go with this Dr. I would recommend this Staff of People to anyone because they are a True Center of Excellance.
