"I first met Dr. Quaid on December 2, 2003. (There's a long waiting list.) He was quiet, but sincere. I've researched WLS for 13 years and am also a registered nurse so, of course, I felt like I already knew it all and was so excited I just wanted to get on with scheduling a surgery date. Never the less, he took his time in explaining things and laid out the risks and benefits for me. Before the M.D. consult, I met with Becky, his office nurse, for the basic vital sign check and then attended an hour long educational session with a video about the procedure. They stress follow up care and sponsor a once a month support group held in Ft. Collins. I am impressed with their care, compassion and concern so far. I work with women who have had this procedure through Northern Colorado Surgical Associates and one in particular who had Dr. Quaid perform her Lap RNY. She has nothing but wonderful things to say about him. I feel confident. I'll update again once I'm "on the other side" of WLS.

September 30, 2004. I'm almost 5 months post-op and updating as promised. I'm just as impressed and happy with Dr. Quaid and his office as I was pre-op. The office staff is professional and friendly and I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes. Dr. Quaid never makes me feel rushed, is thorough, answers all questions and seems to be genuinely concerned about my WLS experience. I've not had any complications related to my surgery and feel his surgical competence and his bedside manner are "A+" excellent. "
"EVERYONE, from the housekeepers and dietary aids, to the admission clerks and my extremely competent nurses were GREAT. Thanks so much for making my 52 hour stay so pleasant."
