"I did not have any problems with the hospital or the nursing staff. Of course, some nurses were better than others. I'm glad I had the nurses I did the day of the surgery, the day nurse the next day wasn't as good, but by that time the tube had come out of my nose and as long as they kept bringing me ice chips, I was fine!!"
"My first impression of Dr. Wood remains the same, he seems very kind, competent, and caring. He also seems a bit shy, which gives him a human touch. His staff, especially Amy, is great. My peeve with Dr. Wood and his office is that when I went for my initial consult before Thanksgiving, we were not told that as of January 2003, he would no longer be with the Liv-Lite Corp., but I'm over it. Other than that, I really can't come up with anything I dislike about him. He stresses aftercare big time, and he used to have a aftercare program, but since he broke away from Lite-Lite, I'm not sure what kind of program they'll have. That's something we'll have to discuss when I see him before my surgery. He was very thorough in addressing surgery risks, both at his seminar and his consultation. However, he also stresses what the risks are if we choose to remain MO. So far, I'd have to rate him a 10. For me, surgical competence is by far most important. The fact that Dr. Wood seems to have a wonderful bedside manner is definitely a bonus."
