"Personally, most of my experience at Baptist Hospital was really good. ALL of the nurses that I had were FANTASTIC, especially one named Star. They also allowed my husband to spend the night by my side every night without saying a word, even giving him a pillow and blanket. The only problem I had was on day two when they moved me from my Surgical ICU room to a semi-private room, and they were moving patients in the middle of the night and kept waking me up with all this noise. I moved into a private room the last night, then everything was fine. Have a private room if you can. "
"I have met with Dr. Anthony Gonzalez twice, the first time in a group setting and the second time for my personal consultation. I really liked his personality. He doesn't pull any punches and tells it just like it is, no sugar-coating from him. His office staff is awesome. The only thing that I didn't like about my visits (both times) with Dr. Gonzalez was the wait. It was HORRIBLE. But, obviously it didn't shy me away from wanting him to be the one to operate on me. Aftercare is very important to your success from what Dr. Gonzalez preaches to us. I attended one of the support group meetings that is held at a local hospital that he recommends highly. I learned quite a bit from that one meeting. I plan on becoming very active with the monthly meetings. From what I can tell so far, I would rate Dr. Gonzalez and his knowledge about this surgery a "10". Let's hope I can give him the same rating after surgery, but I believe I'll be able to."
