I was doing a google search for a clothing exchange. I had my surgery on 7/28/09 Dr. Joyce did do the surgery Dr. Vitello did it at the Jesse Brown Medical Center in Chicago. Anyway I was looking for a clothing exchange. Since coming home I have had to buy pants twice. I have some too too big that I was looking for a place to take them that might help others. Any idea about a clothing exchange in the Joliet, Morris area of Illinois?

Dr. Ortiz had a very charismatic, calming professional bedside manner that contributed to a great comfort level going into surgery and an ease at asking all of your last questions. I was very impressed with his experience and expertise. The office staff were very pleasant, polite and ever so accommodating. My experience with Dr. Ortiz and his staff certainly surpassed some of my best experiences with doctors in the states. No regrets, no hesitation to recommend with high commendation.
My first impression he was very upfront and very serious!! By the 3rs time i seen him he seemed more down to earth and friendly!
I think Dr. Vitello is a great surgeon. All of my physician's work out of Northwestern, but I went to Dr. Vitello because he is the best at performing the Lap RNY. I did not have any complications, and went home in two days. I had my first follow up appt with him, and will be seeing him in two weeks to be released back to work. I found him kind, nad he always answers my questions.
I had my Surgery on Thursday, 6/26/08. I'm very happy with Dr. Vitello. I had a question today and was able to reach him by phone immediately. He was very kind and did not rush me. God Bless him for doing what he does.
Dr. Vitello was upfront and no-nonsense about all aspects of surgery which I appreciated. He visited me in the hospital and answered any questions I had. He did a great job (also had to take my gallbladder due to stones). His nurse Holtcamp is also wonderful. She will answer any questions you have.

2-3-01 After doing lots of research and emailing about 50 patients of various surgeons, I've chosen Dr. Vitello. rnI have an appt with him on 2-27-01. Hopefully, I'll be able to have the surgery soon after. Since we won't have to rnwait for insurance approval, it shouldn't be too long!! rn2-28-01 Met with Dr. Vitello yesterday, and feel very confident in him. He's done over 500 of these surgeries. He was very candid, and doesn't \"sugar-coat\" anything. I felt very comfortable talking with him. I think he's great!
