Bengt Pehrsson
"My first impression of Dr. Pehrsson was that he seemd genuinely concerned about me. Even though it took over a month to get the initial consult with him, he took his time with me and answered all my questions. My impression of him changed for the better over time. He always appeared calm and reassuring, even during my extended stay in the hospital post-op, he never rushed me. His office staff are friendly but a bit inefficient. I found myself frustrated with the lack of tact and consideration from the staff. My first visit post-op I hadn't lost as much weight as the attending nurse thought I should have and she let me know it! She accused me of not drinking my protein and forcing my body into "fasting mode." I complained to Dr. "P" about it and he assured me that since I had lost so much blood during surgery, my body was being conservative to enable my hemoglobin to build back up and I would be "with the program" in no time. That one nurse's reaction to me still effects my paranoia that I may not be losing "fast enough!" Dr. Pehrsson checks me every three months with blood work-up and an office visit. Overall, I rate Dr. Pehrsson 9 out of 10 and his office staff 7 out of 10."
