"I was promised a private room but ended up sharing with an elderly patient but aside from that, my stay was quite positive and the nurses treated me incredibly well, were very kind and attentive. Despite the fact that I had surgery, it was a very positive experience overall."
"Dr. Tersigni is a highly regarded professional in his field and during the application process, right up to literally wheeling me into the operating room, ever time staff asked who my doctor was and I said Tersigni they immediately went into raves about him, how well regarded he was and how he teaches all over the country doing the Lap Band as well.rnrnOHSU, where I was originally going to have my surgery at (too expensive for self pay tho) also said the same thing about him.rnrnI would say that it would be nice for him to have a little warmer bed side manner. He's certainly not rude or abrupt but lacked the kind of warmness I like to receive when facing a (scary to me) operation. I have heard that he is a little shy so this could explain that behavior but a little more empathy and a few secs more by the patient's bed side, even just patting them on the arm would make them feel a lot better, imho.rnrnOverall though, he did an amazing job and I highly recommend him and Bay Bariatrics if anyone is considering bariatric surgery. I had the LapBand but they also perform other bariatric surgery there too.rnrnAlso thanks to his clinic staff, especially Mindi and Robin who literally got me a first appointment, education class, paperwork in order and had me booked and then the surgery done in less than 5 weeks. Amazingly quick and they were always very receptive and quick to get back to you on the phone. Lovely people, very professional and accomodating in any way that they could be."
