"Dr. Hornbostel is a very pleasant well-mannered, non-judgmental surgeon. I first meet him at one of his weight-loss seminars.
I told him I had a brief window of opportunity of 18 months (due to change in insurance carriers) in which I could have my surgery. He and his staff did everything they could to enable me to obtain my surgery within that time period.
I attended the seminar in Febuary of 2005 and I had my surgery on July 29, 2005.
Prior to my surgery I was given a 3-ring binder which contained information about what to expect pre-surgery and post-operative. This binder of information has been extremely helpful. It contained information regarding possible complications, diet (before and after surgery), exercises and motivational information.
I rate Dr. Hornbostel as AAAA++++.
Dr. Hornbostel's surgical competence and bedside manner are both great.
I don't have anything negative to say about Dr. Hornbostel since I have not experienced any problems. All my phone calls regarding diet information have been promptly returned."
"I met Dr. Jayamanne in April,2005. He has an excellent bedside manner. I especially appreciated being shown the computer results of my sleep study. He explained those results to me and was very patient in answering my questions."
