"First impression: Very personable and knowledgable
Office staff: Very helpful and friendly. Doctor's assistant has had RNY surgery and speaks, also. Who better to tell you what to expect than someone who's had surgery herself?!!!
I really didn't not like anything about Dr. Gorospe. VERY likable.
Aftercare is very important. Pre-surgery support groups are required, as are post-surgery. Not sure yet about aftercare program.
Conveyed the risks of surgery in a very understandable manner.
Overall rating: 10+
I'm concerned most about surgical competence, but bedside manner is important, too! He seems to have both!
The negatives are that Dr. Gorospe/hospital are 2 hours away from my home. Dr. Gorospe really needs a bigger office. There was a lot of body heat being spread!
