"I had to spend some time in this hospital and I have to say the private rooms make it great. I know some hospitals have semi private rooms. I couldn't imagine. The staff was great. We are all lucky that there are people willing to do what they do. I give NEMC an A+"
"First impression? He's really got a great sense of humor. Yeah...and he seems really cool. Damn, this Man really knows his stuff...Whew, I am SO glad we found him. <p>
How did my impression change? I't only got better. We realized just how much passion he has for his work. Also, how much compassion he has for his patients. We also felt an amazing sense of comfort. Felt like we had known him forever. We actually had fun during our consultation. We left knowing we had made THE BEST choice in Surgeons.<p>
How would I describe his staff? Very nice and professional. A+++ We were very relaxed with everyone we worked with. They all gave us the same feeling as Dr. Bauman, like we had known them forever.<p>
What did I like least? Um..... The yellow stripe on his wall? (Inside joke) We liked everything about him. This question is pointless.<p>
What should future patients know about him? He is just what I have described above. All good things.<p>
How much does he emphasize after care? Too much is never enough. This is one thing that gives us a lot of comfort. He really wants you to succeed. He has a great aftercare plan.<p>
How did he address the risks? Well he was blunt. But in a caring way... :)<p>
How would I rate him? On a scale of 1 to 10 he gets an 11. <p>
Which is better surgical competence or bedside manner? Well we haven't had the surgery yet, but I know they are both going to be above and beyond standards.<p>
Added note: It says below these questions, that 100% positive reviews are generally less informative or even suspect, and that no person can be the "best" is all aspects. That's CRAP! So far we have had not one bad or unpleasant moment. (knock on wood it will stay that way) I feel sure it will. :) So like my 100% positive review of my Dr. and his staff or not, it's the truth. :) It is what it is."
