Clifford Black
"My 1st visit, I met Dr. Hegstrom. I had to drive and cry my eyes out when I got out. I dont know now looking back, if it wasnt just that I was so emotional over the whole ordeal. But he did hurt my feelings a little. And the nurse that was in there, I didnt like her at all. The lady out front, Phylis, she isnt very friendly at all. But after a while she warms up to you. I think it all depends on what mood she is in that day. I met Dr. Black on my 2nd visit. He was nice,and explained things well. He was nice enough in the hospital. although the 2nd day I was in there, he just stuck his head in the door and said hello. After my surgery, I decided this man had no bed side manner at all. BUT of course,I was very emotional. I felt like I was out there on my own in this. However, when I went back for my 6 month visit, everyone was so nice to me and he was great. I think he is a wonderful surgeon, I would have just liked to have had a more open relationship with my surgeon, like I hear so much about on here, and around here about another surgeon in this area. I am so pleased with my results, and I think he did a great job. Now that its over, I am glad I used him. I think my weight loss has been more because of the way he does his. Judging from others I have talked to. I would like the closeness of patients and staff that the other Dr. here in town has. But, all in all, I think even all I have been through, I would use Dr. Black again. He was very kind and considerate on my 6 month visit. "
