Dr. Oakley is great... he is the doctor that did my surgery, he is Dr. Hess's partner. I liked him alot, he really seems to care about his patients.
I'm very impressed with Dr. Hess, he was very informative, made me feel at ease, which was difficult since I have NEVER had any type of surgery in my life, and I am a big chicken!!! He made sure that I understood everything he was saying, and he really emphasized aftercare. He sent out the letter of request to my insurance company while I was there, gave me a tentative surgery date of August 1st., if all goes well and I am approved by the insurance company by then. All of my testing was set up the day of my initial consultation, and Wood County Hospital was impressive too... They are VERY thorough! The surgical nurse went through everything that would be happening to me from the moment that I am admitted, until I am released, and covered many different scenarios. All of my medical testing is done as of today, May 31, 2001 (Except my psych evaluation, which is July 12) and my initial consultation was just May 9. I am waiting on my insurance approval, the last step before my new life! Dr. Hess and Wood Co. Hospital are both very fast, I rate them both a 10! "
