"I heard so many good things about Celebration Health before I got there but when I got there, it wasn't as they said or as I thought it would be. I feel as though the nurses in the Bariatric unit need more training when it comes down to caring for the needs of Bariatric patients. Also, they need to have an ample supply of large blood pressure cuffs so that they don't have to run around looking for one or using regular sized cuffs and getting false readings. I also signed up to be seen by a chaplain and never saw one. I felt very stressed, pressured, and felt no one cared except one person which was the head clinical nurse named Olga. Her bedside manner and concern was great."
"My first impression of him was in the information class and the support group. I have not met him personally but will at my pre-op appointment on Feb 9th. He seems to be a very caring Doctor and well able to answer any questions or concerns that you may have. His staff has been very nice. In the next month or so, I will be able to evaluate even better.
Feb 9th 2005 - I finally got to meet Dr. Kim today. He is on the quiet side but very through and suprisingly has a good sense of humor. He was very willing to address any questions that I had. The staff was very warm, friendly, and caring. As a whole the staff was very informative on what I should do pre-op and post-op. Dr. Kim also has a pre-op diet plan for his patients with a high BMI to better your chances for having Laparoscopic instead of Open surgery and it also gets you in the swing of how you should be eating. I've heard that he has good results with the pre-op diet plan and I have already lost some weight. I would rate Dr. Kim a 9. I will give an update on surgical competence and bedside manner after surgery."
"Dr. Peters is an excellent plastic surgeon. He has a great bedside manner, compassionate, funny sense of humor and willing to address any concerns or worries that you have. if I ever need a plastic surgeon again, without hesitation, he would be the one I would choose."
