"I thought that while Dr. Santavicca wrote a fine letter for me, he jumped to a lot of conclusions that were weak at best, since he had known me for an hour. He gave me the impression that he thinks that "therapy" is something we all should have and learn from."
"My pcp is kind. She is supportive of wls, and recognized that it is my only choice. She was willing to spend the time discussing pros and cons of the surgery, and to write a LOMN."
"Like him very much. Have seen twice. Actually had read my file both times BEFORE he saw me. Very professional.
Office staff is generally efficient, especially the patient advocate.
No structured aftercare program.
Very clear on risks and rewards of surgery.
I'll take surgical competence over bedside manner, any day, but I still would like my surgeon to be kind. Dr. Hart seems to be so."
