"Overall, I felt very tended to.. When a problem arised, the staff reacted quickly and cared for me without haste. They respected my privacy and even treated my visitors with respect and gifted them with free coffee coupons which was a nice touch. "

"Honestly, the first thing I thought was ..'Wow, he is much better looking in person'. His picture doesn't do him justice. He was pleasant and listened to me. I tend to ramble on when I talk but, he was beyond patient and very polite. He seems generally concerned with my well being. I have seen him 3 times now and each time he is positive and down to earth. His office is layed back and his staff is freindly. I had some issues with one of his nurses. Unfortunately she is the one I need to deal with, but, she does try to be helpful... I just find she hates being questioned and just likes you to take her word for everything. I want to know and understand everything I am getting myself into. We butted heads at first, but now we are doing o.k. The other complaint I have is sometimes the good Dr. talks above my head. He will explain things in his knowledgable way and I have to make him back up and speak in terms I can understand. (I think most Dr.'s do this.) I chose him because I heard through the medical grapevine that Nurses go to him for thier surgerys. I also had been told he removed the whole remaining stomach... and since I have a history of problems, I felt this was my best option. I think I feel more secure about the surgery and aftercare knowing I won't have ulcer issues. I will say, between me and my family and freinds drilling him, I think there wasn't an question he wasn't afraid to answer. He openly talks about comlication history after HIS surgeries and how he dealt with them. It wasn't all peaches and cream. So far he is an 8.5. "
