"Dr Genaw,
I was a bit intimidated by him at first. He's cocky but than again most surgeons are.
Not usafe cocky just to make this clear.
He has a great sense of humour.
HE takes time to call you if there are any changes in blood work and also answers emails promptly. He will tell it like it is no bologna(hhhhmmmm bologna)
There isn't anything that I didn't like about him. He even has a great bedside manner.
The team that works with him, the ones I know of. Wanda, Annette, Dennis and
Dr Carlin are all very nice and always there to answer any of your questions. With aftercare if you follow the program you won't have any problems. Yes you could have stoma problems and complications but that has nothing to do with him. Its your body and its reaction. The program is very structured and easy to follow. It is all provided to you in a binder. But if you eat a cookie and dump they aren't going to feel sorry for you, to be honest neither will I..............LOL
I'm not going to rate him but I will tell you that I have never had surgery before in my life, and he made me feel safe and well cared for. Even the nurses that care for you after on the Bariatrics unit make you feel very safe nad almost loved really.
The last question surgical competence and bedside manner, both are outstanding.
I don't think that just because you have an all positive experience with your surgeon it should be suspect. This is all based on my perception of Dr Genaw. To each hi/her own. Just becasue I think he's great doesn't mean you will."
