"WLS patients are scheduled for a private room. Staff was excellent. I did notice the chairs in the room and the wheelchair were standard size (that was OK for me, but...). Also no recliners (great for most post op patients of any sort!) "
"I was happy to meet both Dr. Georgen and Betsy RN. They host an informative 2 hour meeting to those interested in the surgery.
Both appeared knowledgeable and caring, focusing on the genetic predisposition of obesity yet firmly stating the surgery is only a tool. They had a slide show and handed out a coordinating lengthly packet, very helpful when going over this information later. They did their part in listing what I needed to gather for insurance approval and sending it out in a timely manner. They were not at all pushy, I actually would have preferred them to be a little more so. They have a monthly aftercare program for one year, then as needed. This was important to me, as they are located nearby and ready to help at any time. There is also a support group from their office that meets monthly consisting of pre and post-ops. Being local, I hear good things about him from friends who work at the hospital."
