"I was scheduled with Dr. Ellner however she had a family emergancy and Dr. Whitgrove filled in. Nothing like the best being your pinch hitter!
I was crazy about her after our meeting and would recommend her to anyone. She has a kind and compasionate manner that immediately puts you at ease.
Dr. Whittgrove is a wonderfully gifted surgion. True to his word he contacted my family the minute I was out of surgery.
The office staff was fabulous although they are incredibly busy being the best and should plan to spend a lot of time waiting. That is actually not a bad thing because you sit and talk with both pre and post op patients and get a wealth of information.
They have a wonderful aftercare program that works for both local and out of state patients.
While in the hospital they have a separate floor for bypass patients with a staff trained for the needs of their patients. The nurses are fantastic and the care beyond wonderful.
Their general information seminar is fantastic and in a little over 2 hours you will be ready to take the step. The seminar is given by their program director who is 9 years post op and by one of the three surgeons. Questions are encouraged and happily answered. I welcome anyone considering them to e-mail me.
