"The stay was a good as could be considering. I had wonderful nurses with the exception of two very unpleasant ones. But I do think that those two were just not people persons and maybe not very experienced. Other than than I could not have asked for better care. The only complaint I had was the location of my room (it was next to the nurses stations, which could be a good thing), it was loud day and night and I never got any sleep. Then during the day when it was quiet enought to sleep they wanted me up and walking and I was totally exhausted. But I guess they got enough rest so they figured I should have. Actually the walking part wasn't that bad and I have to say that the place was VERY CLEAN! "
"I met Dr. John Pilcher...very impressed. All I can say is I LOVE HIM! He is the absolute BEST. I feel very safe in his hands! I don't think I could have found a Doctor I liked more. I have only had one other Doctor that I like as much and he was truly a wonderful physician as well.
The staff at the Bariatric Center was just as wonderful...they were professional and all were extremely personable! All have a great sense of humor. I have only had dealings with one person in his office that I was not impressed with and thank goodness I don't have to deal with her during the surgery or aftercare since she's just a receptionist.
Aftercare was explained in great detail by the Dr., Nutritionist and the Psychologist.
Dr. Pilcher was very open and detailed concerning the risks of this surgery, which, actually made me feel better instead of worse.
Since I feel competence and bedside manner are just as important I am going to rate Dr. Pilcher at a 10+! "
