"My surgeon is going to Dr. Michael Schweitzer of Sinai Hosp. in Baltimore
Dr. S was great he explained everything and answered all my questions. He made everything seem so simple. He has assured me that things are a lot easier if made plain and simple. So far I have found his words of simplicity to be true.
Dr. S staff was great, they all seem well informed about the process and for the most part they can answer any general question about befor and after care and procedures.
Currently the hospital will not support Dr. S idea of having a suppot group meet at the hospital, but he is changing hospitals, which he says will bring about several new changes that will be for the betterment of the patients. HE is going to Johns Hopkins as of Feb 1. As for bedside manner, I didn't see as much of Dr. S aftr surgery as I saw his staff of doctors. I did see him once daily. I would say that surgical competence would be of the greatest importance, certainly any undesireable bedside manner can be addressed later, but an incompetent surgen could cost someone thir life."
