"I had heard so many wonderful things about him, and when I finally met with him I loved him and put 100% trust in him and his experience. I know now first hand what a wonderful Dr. he is. everyone in his office was very helpful and friendly. I do not have any complaints about Dr. I or his office. (Keep in mind I am 3 Years 4 mos post op) his office staff has changed but I am sure they are all very nice. Dr. I is in demand, he is extremely busy, so be prepared to wait for a visit, but take the waiting time to research all about the surgery especially the mental part of it, and believe me, he is worth the wait. If all goes well with the surgery, you will probably only have to see him 1 or 2 times post op, and then your PCP can do your followup blood work and checkups. I am not sure what type of aftercare program Dr. "I" has now, when I had my surgery 4/20/99, he was readily available, but I basically chose to go to my own PCP. Dr. "I" explained the risks of the surgery as in any surgery, but he was very confident and that helped me alot. I think that Dr. "I" is the greatest, he saved my life, on a scale of 1-10 I give him a 12!!. Of course in a perfect world you want the most competent Dr. with a great beside manner, personnaly I'll take Surgical competence over bedside manner, any day, and in my perfect world with Dr. "I" you will get both."
