"Dr. Rawlins was great. My first impression was that he was so young. He was caring, warm, informative, and it made me feel good that he was impressed with the amount of knowledge I had going into this. He was amazed at a couple of the questions that I asked, too. The office staff was good humored, friendly, and efficient. He has a 5-year aftercare program, which I think is important, and there is a number that you can reach him at for any serious concerns. He will get the message and call you right back...even if it's a weekend. I would recommend Dr. Rawlins to anyone who is seeking WLS. He performs only one type of surgery: the RNY proximal...usually lap, but open if necessary."
"I thought the hospital handled things well, and the staff were wonderful. I have only two complaints: 1) I rang for a nurse for some pain meds on my third day, and it took over 30 minutes to get a response; 2) I rang for a nurse while in the bathroom and didn't get a response at all. I cancelled the request and just dealt with my problem on my own. Otherwise, everything was fine. There were a couple of nurses that were OUTSTANDING, and the rest were average."
