"My first impression of Dr. Krahn was that he truly cared about me as an individual. His office staff was always helpful and informative. They make you feel very comfortable and in good care. Patients should understand that the appointments do not run on time because the nurses spend as much time as you need talking with you, so be prepared to wait in the waiting room, but I found it was a great opportunity to talk with others who have had surgery or are preparing for it. Great information is shared in that waiting room. Also I followed the doctors directions before and after surgery so I had no problems at all. I did not very from the diet he gave. Dr Krahn feels it is very important for the aftercare program and follow up visits are mandatory, and with good reason. All the possible risks involved were made very clear to me and I felt confident that I would be in good hands during and after the surgery. Dr. Krahn spoke with me just before surgery and I can truly say I was completely at ease when I went into surgery. The staff at St. Bernadine's Hospital were amazing, in the surgery room before and the after care was more than I could have hoped for, they understood my needs. Very caring and kind. I would highly recommend Dr. Krahn and his staff as well as St. Bernardine's. Thanks for the tool that gives me a healthier life. One year after surgery, I've lost 95lbs and feel great."
