"I was given the opportunity to meet with several surgeons before deciding on Dr. G. His direct and positive attitude, coupled with his vast experience and interest in allowing me to be part of the overall decision clinched it for me! He's a wonderful man, with the skill and precision of a fine mechanic/engineer, all of the qualities that a great surgeon should have! No ego's at Abington, only the desire to help and care for this dreadful disease. Once you are a patient, you are always his patient, that was made clear to me by "G" and all of the staff and other Doc's at Abington. I am down 90+ lbs in 6 months and have never felt better, my life has changed significantly and Dr G's office is always there for help and support, regardless of the question or situation. He explained everything to me as clearly as one would or should expect, and offered me several different options. The after care support groups are excellent, although I wish that they would include or offer an excersise management program as I believe this to be a huge componet of aftercare, although I am knowledgable on what I need to do, I still think it's important to offer. The hospital was OK, I felt that the nursing staff at Abington was short staffed, and many times I had to wait for extended periods of time for pain med's and care, so I would probably give them a 3.5 out of 5 for care, but overall they were fine. The Nurse Practioner's at Abington are AWESOME! They are some of the best caregivers that I have ever had the pleasure of working with, and they get it done, period! If you want a great experince with a fine group of people, quality care and support, stop looking and go to Abington, Dr. G is your man, and if you can't get him, Dr. Bonnani, the centers Director is fantastic and down to earth. Good luck and God Bless!"
