"Had my first consult with him the 28th.. it was a 3 hour drive for me so I was the last patient of the day and when I arrived the office was pretty much empty..felt kinda impersonal at first, however everyone was kind and got me in to see him within about 15 minutes or so..he was very nice looking and younger than I expected but very soft spoken and I felt pretty at ease with him. He was rather quick in describing what the surgery was and etc..but he was good to answer my questions. ..anyways it was good.. I believe he will be a good doctor and feel confident he is the surgeon for me. He has a great staff from what I saw..very friendly. Will know more in time..right now I have been given the checklist of what to do before the second consult and until that is completed I can't really say alot about them. What I least liked about him, was maybe the fact that I drove 3 hours for a VERY FAST consultation.. As far as aftercare he did tell me the fact of this surgery being a tool and stressed the importance of knowing it is about a serious life changing decision and that it is for the rest of my life. Otherwise he didn't say alot about aftercare..did suggest a support group before and after surgery. As far as a structured aftercare program , he didn't really talk about one as of yet. About risks, he covered the list of possible complications and risks. To rate him, I would probably say he is a good choice.. he seemed knowledgable and sincere..and I have faith in him. surgical competence or bedside manner..I will let ya know in time lol.. so far hes been fine with both :).
