Surgeon Info:
Surgeon: Joel Freeman, M.D.
MY frist inpression was that he was very strick and he only wanted pateint that would you exacly what he wanted of them. THat i think is a bit much to expect. He wanted me to exercise each day. And also join a gym and go 3 time a week. If i could do these things i would not be fat or need him. You see i am disable i walk with a cane and use a electric wheelchair for longer distance. I am in pain all the time. he also expected me to lose weight every month 2 to 4 pounds. I did but i was not eating very much to do this. He said if i dont lose weight and exercise he would not do surgery. and if i gain a pound i be cancel. so i really thing he was asking too much from me, I found he wanted the best for me and that was good and with time i understand why he is the way he is. alot of people are fat because of what they eat. But i always was careful of what i eat so this was no problem for me.I keept a journal of my food and i was told each time that i eat right. the reason i cant lose weight is because i have alot of pain and cant hardly do anything. I feel that i am in good hands with dr. freeman i will be having my surgery on march the 5. His staff is wonderful they made me feel very comfertable. His nurse is very nice so is his diatician julie. What i like the most so far is that he is very carefull and he check you for everything to make sure your ok for surgery. what i dont like is the way he tries to scare you to lose weight by canceling you. this is not needed. future patient should now that he is very strick and he takes no excuses for anything. but if your willing to do as he says you will do ok. today is april 14 it has ben 2 months and 3days i had surgery . My surgery has heald well i had no major problems. DR> freeman did a good job i just wish he would take more time in talking and lissen to what you have to say to him . He does have a strong opion and it hard to have him chage his mind about things. H e is very strick and at times hard on his staff and co-workers. He is a great surgeon. but his bed side manner could be beter. i would rate him a 9 and if he had beter bed side manners a 10.
