"Dr. Pohl is very straightforward and sincere. I should have listened to him last year and I could have saved myself a hospitalization this year due to severe gastric reflux. I'm now on a pre-op diet (planning a revision from VBG to RNY) and doing much better this time around than I did when I tried this liquid diet out last year. As an RN I fit the typical mold of nurses making the 2nd worst patients when it comes to compliance until now. Now, it feels like life or death. My impression with Dr. Pohl is the same as last year only better because he prescribed Carafate during my hospitalization which seems to have made all the difference in the world with my gastric reflux OR is it the fact that I am not eating solid food?? Either way, his way seems to be the right way. I have always been impressed with the friendliness, courteousness and professionalism of both he and his office staff. Last year when he went over my radiology films with me, Dr. Pohl pointed out every little detail but unfortunately I heard him but didn't listen like I should have. I feel confident knowing that when I've lost enough weight to have the revision done that Dr. Pohl will be the one performing the surgery and follow up care. I am looking forward to both my follow up appointment with him as well as joining the group sessions he has recommended."
