"everyone was great, until I came to the 3rd floor for the extension of my stay..it appeared that the nurses were either overloaded or terriably unorganized in their care (some not all)...There were nurse techs that didn't have a clue what they were doing..one in particular was very rude and clueless to what her job was...overall the hospital was set up for bariatric patients..and was very clean"
"BEING A REGISTERD NURSE, I FEEL I HAVE A GOOD SENSE FOR A PHYSICIAN WHO IS GOOD OR IS NOT SO GOOD.
I JUST MET DR. DEL A TORRE YESTERDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME...HE APPEARS TO BE A QUIET PERSON, ONE WHO REALLY DOESN'T LIKE TO BRING ATTENTION TO HIMSELF...HE'S EXTREMELY POLITE AND VERY PROFESSIONAL..HE'S APPEARS TO BE VERY SKILLED AND KNOWLEDGABLE IN HIS FIELD
I HAVE NO SECOND THOUGHTS REGUARDING THIS MAN DOING SURGERY ON ME....HE WAS VERY UP FRONT WITH ALL THE RISKS!!! AND BENEFITS OF THIS SURGERY...HE EVEN TRIED TO TALK US OUT OF IT....HE REALLY WANTS US TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A COMPLETE LIFE CHANGE AND NOT A QUICK FIX...
HIS OFFICE STAFF WAS VERY POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL..
WHAT i LIKED THE LEAST ABOUT DR. DEL A TORRE WAS THAT HE DIDN'T SMILE ENOUGH....HE SHOULD HE HAS A REALLY NICE SMILE...
FUTURE PATIENTS SHOULD KNOW THAT HE SEEMS LIKE A COMPOTENT PHYSICIAN
AFTER CARE IS WRITTEN OUT FOR YOU ON PAPER...
NANCY CORBET THE OFFICE MANAGER AND MISS BLEDSOE THE DIETICIAN WERE VERY INFORMATIVE ON HOW OUR RECOVERY PERIOD SHOULD GO...
TO THE VERY LAST QUESTION...SURGICAL COMPETENCE OBVIOUSLY IS THE GREATEST ATTRIBUTE...BUT A CARING PERSONALITY AND A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR IS AN ASSET...
9/28/02 DR. DE LA TORRE IS WONDERFUL..HE AND HIS ASSOCIATES THAT HELP WITH MY SURGERY..HE HAS A TERRIFIC BEDSIDE MANNER...VERY CARING..."
