"Update Nov 2004 : My New Surgeon
Dr. V is very strict, very straight foward, and easy to talk too. He put me through a tough round of tests until he was able to figure out exactly what was going on with me. Over the last year I gained back about 40 pounds, so that was my first clue something was wrong. I actually found Dr. V for a friend and ended up going to see him myself since Dr. Driscoll retired about six months after my original surgery.
Dr. V's office and staff is wonderful!!!! 5 stars!!! His coordinator is Karen, who helped me initally but now I work with Carol since Karen just had a baby boy!! It's easy to get an appt and they are great about referrals for tests.
Dr. Driscoll, is very professional and available to answer any of your questions. His staff is wonderful and supportive.
He works with Dr.Goodman, and if you had to compare the two Dr, Goodman is more of a talker so if you are someone who needs a
lot of communication with your doctor he would be a better choice, but I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Driscoll, and he does accept GHI
as payment. As far as aftercare goes, both doctors have a nutrition and group therapy type of session available to all patients before and after the
procedure.
At my initial consultation Dr. Driscoll explained the entire procedure and it's benefits/risks to me fully and since I had done much research on my own,
he just served to renforce my choices.
I would give Dr. Driscoll ****
My only complaint is that his bed-side manner needs a little work,
Because another patient who had her operation the same day as I did, had a
complication, Dr, Driscoll did not come to see me until the next morning after
my procedure, but overall he was a very supportive and competent doctor.
I thank him from the bottom of my heart for helping me start a new life.

Update: The more I talk with Dr. Driscoll, the more I like him. I have had endless questions both big and small, and he is always available to answer them."
