"My impression is that he is concerned about the patient's welfare. Not in a hurry at all.
His staff was very polite and friendly. Be prepared for a long wait. He will not see a patient before the seminar. I was told he was not seeing any new patients. Then I place another call and was told until I attend a group seminar he would not see anyone. I was aggravated with this fact since she did not tell me this up front.
A very structured aftercare. He firmly believes that will help you continue to adjust to the new requirements of the surgery.
He did address risks of surgery. Asked me if I had any questions, which I did and he addressed all of them. No rushing.
So far I rate him above average. while waiting for approval from Aetna.
Both since this is a life changing event. And it is a life long relationship with the doctor and his staff."
