St. Agnes Hospital
"I don't have any complaints, My nurses were hit and miss, just as any hospital is. I requested a Private room, and found out right before surgery that none were available. But spoke with a patient adovcate, she stated that if my roommate was discahrged I could request that my room be "closed". Well luck went my way, my roommate was discharged approximately 1 hour after my arrival and I requested a "closed" room, told them the patient adovcate said I could. and it was approved."

"I have a Powerpoint presentation with Dr. Roe on March 11, 2004. Went for my first consult with Dr. Roe on March 25,2004. Dr Roe and he's staff are the most understanding people. They are down to earth and make you feel comfortable. Dr. Roe doesn't try to "sell you surgery" in fact he make it very clear of the risks and long term after care you will face. I am very glad he is in my insurance plan.******** March 25, 2004- Went to see Dr. Roe today, for my first consult. he is an amazing Doctor. Once again, he didn't try to sell the surgery. He went over the risks and long term after care, including all the medicines that you will need to be on for the rest of your life. But he has a caring way that you see in him. He wants to make sure you know what you are getting into.*********** March 26 & April 28, 2004- Went to Dr. Roe Support Groups. He is there as an educator, but he also pushing the group to talk amongst oursleves, he feels we sometimes know better about aftercare and eating since most of the group has been through the surgery. ***** Changed Surgeon do to the hospitals delaying Dr. Roe. I have a appointment with Dr. Averbach on the 29th of June. Surgery is schedule soon after. I really like Dr. A. He is a straight forward doctor. Made me feel confident in him."

Richard O'Malley
"Dr. O'malley actually suggested WLS to me. Told me to think about it, research it, give your self about a year of thinking and we will discuss it further in a year, at your next annual phyiscal. I was impressed by him for this."
