8/7/2001 My new Surgeon is Dr.Randall J. Bolar. He is in Georgetown Ky. by Lexington.
My first visit is Aug. 16,2001 at 12:30. My first surgeon is very ill and can't do major surgeries for a least 2 months or longer. I wish Dr. Gaar the best and please pray for him a speedy recovery.
8/16/2001 I met Dr. Bolar today for the first time. He was very polite and through. His staff was very friendly also. I feel very comfortable with Dr. Bolar doing the surgery. I really appreciate the fact that he kinda of rushed my date because of my circumstances. (Read my profile) I have to have some more blood work because the hospital likes to have blood work within two weeks of surgery. I also have to have a psycological test(I guess thats what you call it)before my surgery. I didn't like the ideal of another Dr. and more test but I trust Dr. Bolar, he just wants to make sure everything is fine before the surgery. I would rate them a 10 their super. 8/31/2001 I had all my pre-testing done and everything seem to go well. I still think the Dr. and Staff are very good and seem to be very caring. I don't agree with them telling me yesterday I had to pay my 20% yesterday especially when my insurance was paying 80%. I did at first get very upset because I had no ideal I would have to pay it up front before my surgery ( My surgery is 5 days away). I was thankful I had my credit card with me to pay them.I still think he is a fine surgeon and thats more important than the money issue:-)He really does seem to care about you as person:-)AND CATHERINE IS GREAT And the NURSE AND AMY AND THE REST OF THE STAFF, THANK YOU!!!"
"I have stayed twice at this hospital, Gastric By-pass & Tummy Tuck. The staff over all was concerned about my care, and the hospital seems to have that down to earth at home feel. They just need to redecorate a bit. Pictures and wall paper or colored paint to go with their at home atmoshere. ;-)"
"Dr. SCHANTZ was one of the nicest Dr.'s I think I have ever seen. He was very through in explaining what was involved in my surgery. He talked to me, not down to me. He showed me before and after pictures of some of his patients who had the procedure. He was so thoughtful. He handed me my perscriptions so I could go ahead and have them filled and ready when I got home. He gave me his cell no. also if I needed anything to please call, and I knew he ment it."
