Bruce Schirmer

"Our first impression of Dr. Schirmer was that he is a very compasionate, confident man. And that he really cares, that you are not just a patient, you are a person, a mother, a Father, a Son, A Daugher, a Friend. He takes time to explain any and all questions. He and his WONDERFUL staff, do everything that they can to make you confortable. They are all very caring and very helpful. They thought of things help us be more comfortable than we even considered.rnHe has done almost 2000 of these surgerys and he and his office staff are GOOD AT IT.rnI called on second week of April. and got an appointment for us both in August. And ask if they would put us on their cancelation list. We started out at 150 on the list then we went to 6 and 7. and a week later we got a call on 5/25/04 and they ask if we could be there on 5/27/04 at 8am. Of course we said YES.... rnWe were approved by Dr Shirmer to have this surgery.rnMy husband doesn't even have to have his insurance pre approved.rnI really like this hospital and the staff.rnThe staff expained in great detail the whole surgery, even showed some of the instraments that are used.rnThey explained the RISK IN great detail.rnThey even gave examples of people that didn't make it.rnThey told us that the precentage is 1 in 100 people don't make it.rnThey really stress after care too.rnMy husband and I both rate them all at a number 100 on the scall of 1 to 10.

"the hospital in general was great, just a couple of the nurses and resp. tech. could use some education."

Joe Sheets

"He was very well informed on the issues of this surgery. He was also very kind, and had our letter faxed to our surgeon the same day as our appointment."

"He is not only our PCP, but we consider him to be a good friend."
