"I never know how to write these, but I wanted to let people know about Dr. Wood. From the first phone call I knew I made the right decision to go to him. His office staff is very helpful, knowledgable, eager to help in anyway to get you approved. Not once did I feel like I was bothering them with my million questions and phone calls. They did everything for me to get me approved with my insurance. rn The first visit to his office was long but informative. You site down at a group session and learn about everything you ever want to know about the procedure, your diet, your life after procedure. They give you recipes, lists of everything you will need after the surgery to help prepare you so you have it when you get home. When I met Dr. Wood for the one on one, he was caring, funny, down to earth type of dr. Wasn't in a hurry even though he had a lobby full of people waiting to see him. He makes you feel like your his own patient. My husband was with me and even he was impressed on how he treated us. Most dr's are in and out of the room in less then 2 minutes and don't care if your scared or have questions but not Dr wood. He takes his time to make sure you understand everything thats going to happen. rn Heres a link to a video that was done on him and shows part of the surgery. http://www.dmc.org/VideoLibrary/?Library=1&VideoID=47. rn He is a perfectionist when it comes to surgery. He demands it with himself and with anyone who works with him. He makes sure that anyone who is working in the OR knows the procedure as well as him. He also has a set of people that he works with and only them. rn His bedside manner and surgical competence are both excellant. He cares so much about each of his patients. He don't want to see any in pain and will do what he can to minimize the pain and discomfort. I don't know what else i could write to express how excellent of a dr he is. Theres a spot on this page saying that no person can be the \"best\" in all aspects, thats wrong. I can't think of anything negative to say about him or his office staff. rnI think if I was asked to describe Dr. Wood in 1 word, that word would to be hero. He saved my life. I don't know how I could ever repay him for what he did for me and my family. rnrn"
