met w/Dr Barker

Sep 01, 2009

I met with my 3rd Surgeon, Dr Barker.....I  want to start with the support staff...from the nurses, nutritionist, Dr Thompson...were all great, and very informative. I felt they all took their time, didn't have a rushed feeling or that they were rushing from me to get to the next. They all asked me questions, I absolutely was impressed with Dr. Barker...his confidence but not arrogant..he listened, asked historical questions, asked thoughtful questions. From feedback I received from one of my best friends that used him last year, and people on this board...and MOST importantly...I feel that if I had surgery with him,,,i would finally be able to relax and put trust in him. I thought Dr Thompson would be a great Dr to follow up on post ops appts. great sense of humor and caring, spent alot of time talking and educating...loved the benefit coordinators also, Very nice relaxed office. I will move forward Dr B, he is all I have heard he is...and I purposefully saved for my last consultation ! I have now spent $120 on visiting offices, I have can rest with my decision now. Not sure If I want to have this before or after the upcoming holiday..TBD.
*fyi--i like Dr Davidson and his staff as well, just worried he may retire in the next 5-7 years,,
