Norman Samuels
"2/1/01 When Dr. Samuels walked into the waiting area where I was sitting, he appeared to be very concerned and calm about a room full of morbidly obese people. It was quite impressive. My first meeting was very informative. That was last year! I went to his office seeking a last resort help. I left there with great hope. My insurance was filed, and I received a letter indicating I would have to have psychological and sleep study evaluations. I was so "uninformed" about the whole process that when I got the letter, I just gave up thinking "Why Try!" They aren't going to approve the surgery. I became very depressed and So I did nothing. Since then, I found obesityhelp.com and have read an untold number of testimonies and new material on WLS that I felt confident enough to call Dr. Samuels office and ask for help! I talked to Sandra! She is super. She let me know right away that my records were still open at their office and that BC/BS still had my records open. She offered to call them and get the ball rolling again! She referred me to Dr. Melodie Mooreheads office for my psyc evaluation and I talked to Laverne. Another wonder woman on the phone! I am scheduled for that evaluation on Tuesday 2/6/01 (Thank you Laverne!). I feel confident NOW, that with Sandras' guidance and Dr. Samuels skills - I will be on my way to a new and healthy me very soon. When I was in their office last summer (2000) I couldn't have been treated better. I was well instructed and informed of all risks and advantages. I was given a great packet of information and I really liked the whole group. I know that there may be other patients with other views, but these are mine and only meant to convey my initial experience with Dr. Samuels and his staff. If anything other than the positive happens, I'll let you know that as well. When I have my surgery, I'll let you know how Dr. Samuels surgical competence and bedside manners are... Here is hoping I'll be on the other side very soon. Phil. 4:13 3/26/01 Dr. Samuels and His Surgical assistant were all anyone could ask for. They were informative, kind, concerned and ever ready to assist and be there for me during and after my surgery. I can't say enough about the care they gave me. I am glad beyond measure that I returned to them for my WLS. I would recomend them to anyone considering the surgery. God Bless Dr. Samuels and all of his Staff! :) "
