How Selected: Is the hopsital my surgeon uses.
Competitors: I can't compare them. I am new to NY
Comments: overall everyone was wonderful. in the very last stages one of the nurses in the last recovery room was a bit insensitive and talking to a couple other nurses about how this surgery isn't successful if the person has a "healthy diet of milk shakes from Mc Donalds, instead of sticking to the program" I was half asleep listening to these comments. That wasn't cool.
