"<strong>
I finally got to meet my surgeon on April 9th. I was actually prepared (from what other people had to say) to meet this stern man who didn't smile or seem to have a great bedside manner. He was totally the opposite. He gave me a stern handshake and proceeded to go over everything. In the process, he cracked a couple of jokes and was very friendly. His office staff were nice and very attentive to the patients that were there to see the doctor. He actually did not go into detail of the surgery. I have been researching the surgery for the past year and had a binder full of information from complications to success stories. The one thing that really did impress me and ease any doubts I had about surgery was that he stated yes he is my surgeon but after the surgery our relationship will not be over, it will just be beginning. So far (not having surgery yet) I would rate him a 7 to 7 1/2."
