Surgeon Testimonial

Andrew G.Hargroder
My 1st impression of Dr. Hargroder was great. He is very confident and personable. He is not afraid to take on high risk patients and people with special requests. Not to mention really nice on the eyes. He don't look nothing like the picture in here. Anyway, I was very impressed but my DH was impressed too. That was a shock, it really takes a lot to impress him. My impression of him did not change it only got better. He was and is a great surgeon, with an excellent reputation. I absolutely love everyone in his office with one exception. I'm not to keen on his assistant. She didn't do anything wrong, just didn't impress me much at all and has no bedside manor at all. I guess that is what I liked least about him and his staff. I really think he can do much better. I didn't like the fact that in my post op visit he did not see me, his assistant did. I asked his Adm assistant (my girl - Christy, absolutely wonderful person) about that, she said all I have to do is request to see Dr. H and he has no problem seeing his post ops, he lets his assistant do it to speed up things while he is seeing new patients and since post ops usually have no problems, its quicker that way. I personally feel I paid for a Dr. not a PA. His practice offers excellent after care and wants to follow us for 3 - 5 years. This is included in his surgical costs, which are great!!! 11,900 total for everything!!! He offers a support group with classes every Wed. night in house, website support group and much more. I was informed of all risks of surgery beforehand, but I was very informed before I contacted him. He had no problem spending time with me answering any questions I had. On a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the best, I would rate him a 1000 or better. Everything about my experience was great as far as he is concerned. I highly recommend Dr. Hargroder and his office staff. I would tell anyone, He is the greatest!
