"I like Dr. Caruana, he was very pleasant and informative. My fiance and I are getting ours done at the same time, so he took us both in one room so we could discuss things with him. He came across as a Doctor that knows what he is doing and that he likes to make you feel comfortable, and make sure that all of your questions have been answered. I haven't had any problems with his staff, except being rushed but they are very busy. Aftercare will primarily be with his assistant. From what I understand we will see him a total of 3 times. The initial consult, the informative meeting a week prior to surgery, and the surgery its self. He told us that my fiance may have to stay in the hospital a couple more days more than me because of his size, but that he didn't see any reason why we should have any problems. We did address the sleep apnea issue with him so he has referred us for testing because we have never had it done before. I would rate Dr. Caruana high on the doctor scale as far as I can tell right now. I have heard nothing but good things about him at my support group. I hope this helps.
5/13/05-Post-op 12 days, my first appt after the surgery was yesterday and my doctor is very happy for both my fiance and I and said we are doing great. "
"The staff was great!!! Everyone was so nice and didn't treat you like a number. One of the care aides, Tiffany, I will never forget her, she kept me laughing and watched out for me if she was there. I would reccomend this hospital to anyone."
