Joseph Chebli

"First impression of Dr Chebli?? I LOVED HIM!! He is down to earth and treated me like a person and not a number. He gave me information in a freindly yet proffessional manner. Plus it doesn't hurt that he loves Alaska so much :) The staff has been friendly and whenever I called or had a question they were there to help me and get any information I needed. Samantha is very effecient. My first visit was in July 2010 she had my paperwork submitted and final and surgery date completed in only 3 months time!! Now I am ready for surgery October 20, 2010! They gave me a list of things I Had to do to prepare and get ready and I had them done in about 2 months. They made it so smooth for me and I am in Alaska they are in Seattle, my different docotrs here would send them the procedures I had completed. Luckly I had been seeing a licensed nutritionist since April so this was documented to help show I had at least 6 month medical approval that I was seeking help in othere ways. This is not counting all the other diets and medical help I was able to provide from the past. Dr Chebli has a wonderful web site and it is direct and easy to follow. He gives you insight on what you will be going through and the before and after care. What impressed me the most is that he has been chosen for the last 4 to 5 years as Washington States pick of TOP 100 doctors. This is a poll taken from other proffessional physicians that would choose him to perform surgery on one of their loved ones. Now that tells me a lot and gave me great comfort. One of the main reasons I picked him too. When i met him I could see why. he made me feel at ease and just helped me understand how important my health is for not just me but my loved ones as well. He gave me a binder that I took home and followed all the things I needed to do to get to my surgery date. He has alot of information in this binder but the website gives you even more. The website and the bionder gives you before and after care and propgrams. They are open to any questions whether you feel like they are trival or not. Dr Chebli has worked on several paitents from Alaska and other states as well so he and his staff are very efficiant I believe because of working with paitents out of state. He gave me all the risks of the surgery and the restricions I will have. My thought on that is, I have been restricted from so many things in life that eating restrictions is far less of a problem for me than what I have had to go through with clothes, seating, walking, exercising, and just overall living life to the fullest. One of the things the staff did too was they even helped me pick a hotel for us to stay at. I am going to tell the Hotel when I go so they realize Dr Chebli's office tell their out of state patients about their hotel. It is the Nexxus Hotel walking distance to the hospital. If I were to rate Dr. Chebli and his staff I would rate them off the chart!! The question of which is better surgical competence or bedside manner? I would have to say Dr Chebli shows that he has both so far. I will know more whan I have my surgery in a few days. But I am confident I am going to be able to say he does have both! Do I have any negative comments? Well, the only thing negative on my part is that I do not live closer. I have been to other doctors here in my state that do this surgery and I can honestly say I wouldn't even compare them to Dr Chebli. Thank you for letting me share :) Rebecca White "
