"I chose CMCH as my hospital because I knew the quality of care that I would recieve would be top notch. CMCH is a smaller hospital, but has many "big hospital" options. They are very equipt to handle almost any emergancy that could happen."
"My first impression of Dr. Sabir was that he is shy and quiet. LOL, He is a nice doctor, and very knowledgeable. rnrnI love his office staff. Jodi was and continues to be awsome. She goes out of her way to make sure that she learns your name. She also does a lot of leg work pre-op in terms of insurance. Dr. Pilkington (in practice w/ Dr. S.) removed my gall bladder almost a year before i was banded. Athina the PA for the office was really nice, and she always says hi when she sees me out and about in town (its a small town here...) The nurses are friendly and remember you from your previous visits. rnrnI can't say that there was anything bad about Dr. Sabir, his staff or my stay at the hospital. I was in the hospital for 2 days. (I spent the night) I was scheduled for 8, and I was out of the OR and in my room by 11. When I came out of the anethetic I was in some pain, but I got meds when I asked for them. My only complaint is that they wouldnt let my family come back into recovery with me. My pain was managed with pain meds through my IV. My nurses were pretty cool, and were very encouraging when I decided to get up and walk around. rnrnDr. Sabir was sure to exsplain what was going to happen durring surgery and always asked questions to make sure I knew the risks of WLS. Durring my visits I am reminded that I have many programs of help available to me. He and his staff encourage the use of the support group. One thing I appreciated was a hand out that went through each risk of surgery so that everything was covered. rnrnI recomend him all the time to my friends who are considering WLS, and specificly the band. There are other surgeons in the area, and I know that there are other options. I think that for banding Dr. Sabir is the best one. rnrn "
