"Hello,
I saw dr Juarez on Sept.6.
I found him to be a nice man and a very carefull surgeon. You have to be prepared with questions when you go in. I got all of what I needed answered by him. He took the time we needed even though I know there were at least 12 people in there to see him in rooms and in his office.
He went over all my medical records with me and recomended on the side of caution because of my medical record. He explained all his reasons for discontinuing meds I am on and why he wanted to do the open instead of lap on me. He addresses all the risks of surgery and all the risks of a patient on prednisone.
His office staff in person are better then on the phone. I think they are way too busy as the day progresses.
Unfortunatly, here in Phx. the doctors are so very busy with this surgery. The wait for surgery will be 5 months at least after a consult with Dr Juarez. The wait for a consult for me was from calling in May till one open in Sept. Four months total wait just till consult. They are overworked because of huge patient loads. You just have to be patient.
I will update as I know more. "
