"My surgery is not scheduled until May 26th, 05 but just my first consult with Dr. Pernia was wonderful. I really feel comfortable with him."

"<Font face="Century Gothic"><font size=3 <b>I met Dr. Matthews on April 10th at the WLS meeting at Baptist Princeton. He and Dr. Jay Smith are with the Surgeons Group, PC there.Although Dr. Smith was quiet and didnt say a whole lot, I was really impressed with the thouroughness of Dr. Matthews in answering my questions and explaining the surgery to me. His office staff have been wonderful in helping to teach me about the surgery and all that is involved. I have my first consultation with Dr. Matthews on April 23rd and I cant wait! I love Jennifer, she was so helpful at the meeting and over the phone to help alleviate some of my fears. She insisted on me bringing my hubby Frankie so that he could be prepped on what is going to happen with the surgery and afterwards. I look forward to my journey with Dr. Matthews and Jennifer. I give them a 10 ! April 29th... Well I went for my first consult with Dr. Matthews. My husband and I really liked him and his staff. He was informative and very positive about me having surgery, he and his nurse Kay made sure that Frankie and I knew the risks of surgery and done everything they possibly could to get as much info on my history as possible. With my mom passing of pulminary embolism, Dr. Matthews was insistant that I was doing the right thing by having surgery. He assured me that I was a prime candidate and that things would go smoothly and very successfully. I am to see the nutritionist and the physical therapist and then they will send the letter to my insurance. I am a bit disappointed that I havent recieved my appointment time for either of those yet. And Jennifer stated that it could be as far off as August before I have surgery. This is not good. I really was praying to have it as soon as possible and while my children were out of school for the summer. I guess I might have gotten my hopes up on having it soon. Although that part is going slow, I really do like Dr. Matthews and his staff. "
