"Dr. Blackstone has an excellent bedside manner, she is very attentive, knowledgeable and encouraging. Her surgery nurse, Melissa is excellent. The pre-op and after care programs are extremely comprehensive and highly structured to insure long term success. My hospital stay has been excellent, I am on a bariatric floor in a single room receiveing great care from the nursing staff, not to mention the fact that Blackstone provides us with one free spa treatment.... the massage was wonderful.
