"***WARNING!!! I AM HONEST!!*****rnMy 1st impression of him was that he was a short man and spoke english well. lol. He looked like he would have a accent but didn't. He is usually nice but sometimes I felt rushed. The other doctor that works with him that always comes in the room after the nurse and before him asks more questions and is really nice. I like talking with him more than Kuwada for some reason. I always seem to wait/stay there for over an hour. I got aggervated with Dr. Kuwada after surgery because everytime I talked to him about a concern I was having he would say \"that's normal\" and \"give it time\". He is a great surgeon though. He has preformed many gastric surgeries and I didn't have any major complications. My biggest problem was not having some of the drugs I was taking before my surgery. He discontinued all my meds and I really needed some of them. Especially my antidepressant, birth control, gerd med, and thyroid med. The staff at the front desk are nice and I like the nutritionist (Judy, not Sally so much). I really dislike Dr. Kuwada's nurse (Sherrie) though!!!! You hardly ever see her at the office (thank goodness) but she does answer his calls. She really needs to work on her people skills and not talk to people like they are stupid!!! She works for CHS and needs to remember what CHS stands for and the tree of life! She often comes off as being short with people, rude, undependable, and unsympathetic There is usually other nurses/tech. there that take your vitals, get your weight, and show you to the room. Overall, I am satisfied though. He is a great surgeon, most of the staff is nice, and I am losing the weight! "
"Everything about my hospital stay went well except for my encounters with one Nursing Assistant named Sondra on the North 5 floor. She was unbelievely rude and unprofessional to my family and mostly to me. My family did report her to the charge nurse on shift that day and I plan to report her to the Nursing Supervisor over the hospital or to whom ever else I can find to listen whom is above her. You see I work for CHS which is affilated with CMC and I know that I would never ever never treat anyone the way she treated me that day!!! It happened the day after my surgery, and it has continued to upset me since. I hope this matter will be taken care of so that she is not treating others the way she treated me!"
