"Okay, I didn't write anything about Dr. Meilahn until after surgery. I didn't know what to write. From the first moment I met him I felt confident that I made the right decision when I chose him, but he did not give me the "warm and fuzzies". That has changed. That may not mean much to many people, but it does to me. As far as competence, I can't imagine coming across a better selection. As far as bed side manner, he is fabulous (even though he takes a couple of visits to warm up to)! "
