"Bedside manner... very poor
His lack of follow up with aftercare and overseeing care in hospital was also
VERY POOR.. I had a serious medical error happen after surgery and in my opionion he did not organize appropriate follow up care.
He could not show up for my first post-of visit and did not call to ask if this was
ok with me. I did not feel that was good
pt care.
His office staff were good, his nurse (Angi) was very good.
The office team emphasized aftercare, the doctor did not.
Him and his partner did address the basic risks of surgery, he did not inform us that he had recently lost a pt. I feel that this information should be included in these pre-op getting to know the surgeons.
Surgical competence in regards to lap band, would be good; with any other type of medical emergency... extremely poor in my experience."
