"I think it's safe and I felt medically well taken care of but some of the nurses were so tiny and obese people, especially after surgery feel vulnerable about how well one tiny person can keep you safe. Maybe an aid or nursing assistant could be in attendance the first few times you get up and walk. I didn't want to hurt anyone else if I fell. I guess the only real disappointment was the lack of any special bariatric room. One with bigger chairs, a recliner, a bar over the bed. I would go to this hospital again but I don't know I would rave about it."
"I am just completing my insurance mandated 3 month physician supervised weight loss program. Dr. Heydari has been just wonderful. I am a surgical 'nervous nellie', and while he and his staff have been diligent in informing me of the risks, they have been very supportive and encouraging and PATIENT with me.
His staff is fabulous. They are punctual, loving, and seem to be very well educated on bariatric surgery.
They have a fabulous support group 2x's per month. At least 40 people attend. The before care has been great and the mandatory classes have been very informative. His post surgical care is set up in a very structured way and I'm looking forward to being able to tell you first hand about it. ( My sister is two years out from her surgery and her post care has been great.) He has a wonderful, caring demeanor and has a fabulous reputation for being a wonderful surgeon. His statistics for complications are below the national norm. He gets an A+ from me. "
