"My first impression of Dr. L was that he was very caring, very knowledgeable, and very patient. As time went by, that impression simply became more emphatic. He and his staff are excellent...very caring and very calming. I feel that future patients of Dr. L should feel very confident. I personally don't feel there is a better DS surgeon. He does stress aftercare a lot. His aftercare program is very structured. (Although it didn't apply to me as much since I am in Canada. He did, however, give me specific instructions and I will still be followed by him...it will just be on a semi-annual basis.) Dr. L was very straightforward about the risks of the surgery, which I must admit were very scary. His surgical competence is excellent, and his bedside manner couldn't be better in my opinion."
"On the pre-surgical side, everything was wonderful. The staff was excellent and I couldn't have asked for better care. However, post-op, once I was assigned to a room, with the exception of Joe, the weekday nurse who was outstanding, I found almost all of the nurses to be less than knowledgable about some of the items I was required to use (e.g. walking simulation pump) and again with the exception of Joe, I found it took them nearly half an hour to answer the buzzer when needed.
