Question:
Dr. Newhoff's post-ops -- I have a question for you!

Hi, I am scheduled for RNY on 08/11. I am also scheduled to meet with Dr. Newhoff on 08/08 for my pre-op appointment. I have 2 pages of questions I want to ask him, and I know my nervous and scared hubby has questions and needs reassurance. My question for you is, did Dr. Newhoff take the time to answer all of your questions and talk to you at length about the surgery? I've had experiences with doctors in the past who make me feel rushed, brush over my questions, and make me feel like they wish I would "get out" so they could get on to the next patient, and I end up leaving feeling uninformed and unimportant. Can you please share your pre-op appointment experience you had with Dr. Newhoff? My time is getting closer and the nervousness and apprehension is starting to kick in. Thank you so much!    — beeda (posted on June 17, 2003)

Hi, I'm hoping to decide on a surgeon sometime soon. And I was wondering if you'd mind sharing those questions that you have with me (in case I don't have some of the ones you do). Thanks a lot. Estela [email protected]
