"Dr. Kaniewski was very polite, professional, kind and informative in explanning the different types of baractric procedures. When at follow-up appointments she was there to answer questions and or concerns that I may have. The MISH hospital is a excellant baractric hospital and comes highly recommended. I was impressed with the facility and how large it was. Everything I needed was there on site. The staff is was very polite and helpful. They are there to answer any questions and usually would resolve any problems that I may have. I felt as if I was a person and not just a number, and that the doctor knew me personally. I was well informed by the doctor as to what was to be expected before and after surgery. She addressed the risks and advantages of having the lap-band procedure performed. I like the fact that the MISH hospital offers it's patients support groups, nutritional help, and one on one patient support. In general I think that both surgical competence and bedside manner are both essential and important with keeping the patient informed and knowledgeable. Weight loss surgery saved my life and I have no regrets whatsoever."
