"I had wonderful care at "Butterworth" during my stay after WLS. The nurses were kind, supportive, helpful, professional and excellent. I feel my experience was a very possitive one and would not hesitate to use this hospital again in the future......if necessary."
"10/08/01 - ten days post-op and very happy with my surgeon. His care before surgery was excellent. My surgery was a hand assisted LAP so it took my surgeon and his associate to preform it. Surgery was Friday at 8:00am and I was discharged on Monday AM.
Dr. Scholten was in on Saturday and Sunday to check on me during rounds and Dr. Schears (his associate) discharged me on Monday.
Dr. Scholten's office has a structured aftercare program and diet and we are expected to follow it.
My only complaint is that being a VERY busy suegeon routine appointments take a while to get scheduled. I will not see him until I am 3 1/2 weeks post-op. This may be due to the fact that I have no staples, stiches or drains to be removed.
Dr. Scholten and his staff are very thorough in reviewing the risks of surgery with their patients. I was given a very comprensive list of possible outcomes to read and sign before I could consent to surgery and before He would consent to do the surgery.
I was confident with Dr. Scholten as a surgeon and have found his care and that of his staff to be excellent so far."
