"Dr. Da'Tar, the anesthesiologist gave me an epidermal in my back which blocked my pain. I was told that I would not feel pain and they were right! I had some pressure and soreness but no real pain to speak of with the epidermal and the pain medication in my IV and oral medication every 4 hours my pain was managed very well. This elective major surgery went smoother than I could have ever expected. I really thought I would have to have endured more pain than I did."
"My first impression of Dr. Douglas D. McKane was that he was extremely proficient in his knowledge and ability to explain the Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery. He did not talk down to me and he patiently explained this complex procedure in terms I could easily understand.
The thing that got my attention was when he asked me; "What would you do if you have this operation and some complication occurs?" I was originally contemplating getting the surgery at Gesinger Medical Center in Danville, PA (3 hour one way trip by car from my home in Wellsboro, PA).
Dr. Douglas D. McKane and Dr. Robert E. Cole of the Bariatric Surgical Associates, LLC at 100 John Roemmelt Drive in Horseheads, NY 14845 (607)796-5936 are both excellent doctors. I would recommend either doctor for this surgery as they work togeather very well.
The staff at the Bariatric Surgical Associates, LLC help their patient understand the life changes needed by diet, exercise and psychological effects of this surgery.
Dr. Douglas D. McKane thoroughly covered the risks involved in this surgery.
They take excellent care before the surgery (educating and working with the patient preparing for surgery). They continue with the care after surgery as well.
I strongly recommend these people as caring, proficient, knowledgeable, and patient professionals."
