"I called and spoke with Robbie (his wife and assistant) last week and she was so patient in answering my initial questions. She had a way of putting me at ease just on the phone. I look forward to meeting with them both in person on Feb 5, 2004. I am very nervous of complications. I hear this is "normal" but I am very nervous of death of severe complications.
5-7-04: Well, I have had 2 appointments and I have attended 2 support meetings. Today was my first "procedure" with Dr. Peters. He is so calming just to have at your side. He has an excellent bedside manner and he truly cares about his patients. I feel so comfortable with my decision and choice of a surgeon. I have no doubt he will be the best possible doctor for this procedure for anyone. I give Dr. Peters a clear 10+. Honest, upfront, caring, and compassionate. Add in a triple dose of knowledge and what more can you ask for?!?!?!"
