"First appointment-December 2000. I was a little intimidated by the first appointment because Dr. Gorospe explains the surgery in a room with several patients sitting together. However, you do get a personal visit with him to discuss questions and your specific situation. I did not like this approach at first but after meeting him personally and at the support meetings, I think he does it that way to promote a "helping each other" environment. Also, he is a very busy surgeon so it probably saves him time, which helps us get scheduled for the surgery earlier.
Dr. Gorospe's staff is very helpful. They answered questions quickly and kept me informed immediately when my insurance contacted them.
I rate Dr. Gorospe as a very competent surgeon with a great support program for his pre-op and post-op patients. Some of his former patients hold a support meeting each month, which he always attends and answers questions. I feel comfortable going into surgery in February because of the success I have seen in his other patients.
