Surgeon Testimonial Grant Searles, M.D. My first impression of Dr. Searles was that he was a man of few words. He took my history, explained the procedure and its risks well, and sent me on my way with my pre-op test list. Nadina, in the office, is fabulous and always available to answer a question. She is friendly and personable, and makes you feel like an old friend. She is quick to get paperwork done and had my insurance approval in less than 4 days after I submitted my test results for the Doc to review, just 3 hours after insurance recieved the request! Dr Searles did a fabulous job on my surgery and I am healing well. My only concern is the lack of aftercare information he provides. I wasn't really intrested in a highly structured aftercare program because I am several hours from the office, but I did expect some guidance. I litteraly left the hospital and office after my follow-up with almost NO information on how/what to eat, when to exercise, nothing. I was just told mushies after day 3 and solids after day 10. No guidance on how much to consume at a time, no guidelines on calories, fat, carbs, nothing. I'm glad I had OH or I'd have been totally lost! I'd definetly say that surgical competence is his strong point and bedside manner could use some tweaking. I almost felt like he just isn't a people person, like he is intimidated by talking to strangers, lol! All said, I'd definetly use him again. I'm an independant person and prefered to do this on my own. If you are the type of person that really needs the support and encouragement that other people provide to stay motivated, I'm not sure this would be a good surgeon for you unless you have a rock solid support program outside of the office.
