"I would have to say my 1st impression of Dr. melkonian was extremely good. I was a little worried at first because he is so young, but after meeting with him, he put my mind at ease there. He was very straight forward about the surgery (trying for LAP) and didn't suger coat anything ! He will tell you all the risks and possible complications and tells you "it can happen". I am hoping, after surgery (if insurance goes thru) that I can help get an aftercare/support program going through his office. I am anxiously awaiting my next visit with Dr. Melkonian.
(Actually, he is the one who referred me to this website!!)
6/8/02 --- I had LAP RNY on 5/20/02 with Dr. M and he did a wonderful job. He is very caring, and listens to every question (and even has an answer) Had my 2 week follow up on 6/5 and he did not seem rushed - but actually sat and talked about this life altering event! He is still a 10 on my scale ! "
"I had a pleasant experience at Presbyterian Hospital. 99% of the nurses and staff were great and were at my beack and call. I had 1 or 2 that acted like they hated their jobs LOL> ! I stayed for 5 days and overall the staff was excellent. "
