"I had two really special nurses during my stay at Glenbrook that went out of their way for me and my family. On the second night of my stay I had a nurse that I didn't have previously and she asked my husband if he would like a cot to sleep on instead of the reclining sleeper chair. We were so grateful for that. They also had no issues with my 4 year old visiting, which had a positive impact in my recovery. (She cheered me up.) :) One thing I was a little "alarmed" about was one of my meals was supposed to come with a diet italian ice and they supplied a regular italian ice. I was glad I was well enough to be vigilant of what was being served to me. I was also disappointed, because it was the only thing on my tray that looked yummy. :("
"I've met Dr. Denham once at my initial consultation. He was very thorough in explaining the criteria that patients must meet before being considered for WLS. He also explained clearly in a way that I could understand (none of that talking over my head stuff) the gastric bypass surgery and the risks that come with having this surgery. Dr. Denham's nurse, Joy, explained a lot about the procedure as well. I was very impressed (and excited) when she emailed me saying she was looking over the results of the first sleep study I had and realized that I had everything needed to submit to insurance. She wanted to know if I was ready for this step. (Heck ya!!) How lovely was it to have someone paying attention to me and my status as a patient. I didn't even have to pick up the phone to find out what was going on :)rnrnSo far, I've been very pleased. I'm impressed with the whole package. Dr. Denham has put together a team that is competent and caring."
