"Let me get this out of the way first. Dr. B. is a cocky bastard. But really, don't you kinda want that in a guy who is going to gut you like a fish?
The other thing you should know is that he's very direct. If you're doing stupid stuff, he's going to tell you that you're doing stupid stuff, and you should knock it off. He's direct, and plenty of us need that.
NSMC also has a very structured pre- and post-op program. Follow the rules and you'll be successful. I know two others who had surgery in other local programs, and their aftercare is much less thorough and effective.
As much as he's a cocky bastard, I really like him.
Let me add that the OH listing states that Dr. B. always removes the gall bladder. That's just not true. I still have mine, as do many of his other patients."
