"Dr. Johnell and his staff have been so nice and understanding, as well as informative. I felt that I was prepared for everything that's happened. rnrnI had to get cleared by a cardiologist and get a sleep study prior to surgery. These were a bit of a pain, but I would rather my surgeon be cautious. His staff helped me get my appointments set up and everything fell into place.rnrnDr. Johnell and his staff have really gone the extra mile to make sure that I'm successful at this and will be there for me in the future. They offer lots of classes and a support group. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Johnell to anyone.rnrnI also had a great experience with the hospital (NCMC). It was a long drive for me (1.5 hours), but it was probably my best hospital experience. I could have gone to a hospital closer to home, but I would have faced a long wait. I stayed at the Hospitality House on the hospital grounds just before my surgery, and was able to do my preparation and last pre-op appointment from there. "
