"He did a very good presentation about all the surgeries for post-op. He did an excellent job of showing slides and explaining about all the surgeries. He was honest and forthright when it came to saying only one (tummy tuck) is usually paid for by insurance. I will go to him when I am ready for plastic surgery.

"Dr. Doyle is quiet but very smart and wants to help. He has many ways to help you lose weight and will not push surgery. The facility has doctors, nutritionists, psychologists, and physical trainers. The MD's are Internists. "
"Dr. Krause only does the lap RNY. He takes 3 people at one time for the consultation. After the explanation you have a short private meeting where you can address of your own concerns.
The group consult is in a conference room and he explains everything about the surgery and what he expects. He gives you a good-sized booklet which contans everything he says with drawings and details. You can ask any questions you want. He explains all the risks thoroughly. By the time you get done, if you are not informed about something it is your own fault.
Then we are called individually for a private talk and he examined my abdomen. He even found a hernia that I didn't know I had. I would rate him as an excellent doctor. I like this friendliness but his knowledge and experience won my over.
The staff is overwhelmed due to a sudden influx of patients. They are friendly and are genuinely interested in helping. I hope they will figure out a good technique to deal with it.
I am his first patient who has Blue Cross of Illinois. I have to get a pre-approval. they took 2 weeks to get the letter out and I will call next week to see if BC got it and find out what more they need if anything.
