Stevens Memorial Hospital
"Major surgery patients get private rooms... it's nothing spectacular, but the beds are large and you get your privacy which is the important thing. Everyone was very competent and friendly and did their best to care for me without disturbing me too much - even when they had to check my vitals at 4 in the morning. I have problems with pain medication and the was happy that the nursing staff didn't try to force me to take any or more than I needed - they even checked with the doctor to verify a half-dosage. I didn't even mind that they had several student nurses and interns visiting me, because they asked first. And the best thing of all... people KNOCKED before entering the room... just this tiny common courtesy really made me feel they respected me."

Calcium Citrate Chewables
"Tried Mint and Cinnamon... even more potent than Altoids... I like Altoids, but these things are over the top, I couldn't take them everyday. Like Tropical Oasis Liquid Calcium Citrate with D and Magnesium much better."

Syntrax Nectar Whey Protein Isolate, Roadside Lemonade
"The best ever... almost like the "real thing"... can hardly taste the protein and it's a welcome break from the creamy protein supplements. Works good with the Tropical Oasis multivit and calcium supplements too if you need to mixe them in."

Tropical Oasis Multi Vitamin/Mineral
"Doesn't have iron... but that's not surprising since it's liquid. Doesn't have as high or complete B-Complex as some others, so I have to take extra Bs, but it definitely tastes better than any of the chewables -- especially with a little watered down orange juice."

Peter Billing
"My first meeting with Dr Billing was very positive, he took the time to explain the different procedures available, went through my medical and diet history to determine which option was best for me and fully explained the benefits and risks. Even after a SNAFU with an incompetent therapist that concerned him enough to red flag me as a high-risk patient, my confidence in Dr. Billing has remained high. He strongly emphasizes aftercare and works closely with several physicians, psychologists and nutrionists to help provide a structured pre-op and aftercare program for his patients. The clinic does coordinate several support groups for re-op and post-op patients, although I prefer to get my support online.rnrnI would rate Dr. Billing as an excellent surgeon. His bedside manner is a little quirky and office time is hard to secure at times, but that certainly doesn't affect his ability to make his patients feel comfortable and well cared for - he definitely wants what's best for the patient.rnrn"
