" 9/27/01....I am so throughly pleased with my pre-op with Dr. Callery today.
My husband and I were there from 3:30 to 5:00pm. We spent first 15-20 mins with Kimmie who weighed me in, then explained the "Incentive Spirometer" and answered our preliminary questions, she made us feel very comfortable and laughed with my husband and I. We needed that and it seemed to put us even more at ease.
Next in was Kelly who went over all the "Meds" info, what to expect once I got to the hospital, gave my husband a sheet informing him of where I'll be at any given time during my surgery and post-op care. Kelly again answered ALL our questions and was extremely careful in explaining what was expected of both myself as a patient and my husbands duties as my BUDDY.
Dr. Callery then came in and went over the procedure itself. I know this man is going to give me the best care....He was very open and spoke to my husband and I about the statistics..My husband had some questions that Dr. Callery was able to answer and put my husbands fears to rest. I look forward to my upcoming surgery knowing that I will be taken care of by some of the best in the field.
Oct 15, 2001 My opinion of Dr Callery remains the same ....Caring and giving me answers to my many questions...Without making me feel I was over imposing myself on him. I had to go back into the hospital 5 days after being released from my surgery. Dr. Callery was concerned and did not make me feel that my return trip was not without a just cause. "
