James Davidson
"Good Morning!!! I had my initial consult and seminar on April 1, 2003 with Dr. Davidson. Let me start by saying his staff is amazing and the program they are in the process of putting together sounds like it is very complete. Be prepared to spend a good 4 hours up there, as they are very interested in treating you as an individual not ushering you through like a herd of cattle. It can make for a long day though, and since I wasn't prepared for that it made me a little weary by days end, but it was worth it. The keep the group number small, so they can talk to everyone. The seminar was very informative, not only did it give you information about the surgery, but also about the follow-up required, other surgeries available (not necessarily by him), overview of what to expect, and an idea of what their program included. Next was the individual consults, where you got to meet the staff that would be taking care of your needs and the doctor. To give you an idea of what to expect so you have everything ready: First you entered the office and gave Linda your insurance card/drivers license. Second while you are waiting your turn, go ahead and fill out the True/False test that you were given in the seminar and your general health questionare. Third, you are brought in where your temp, blood pressure, height/weight, and picture are taken by the nurses which are amazingly sweet, funny, and make you feel at ease. Next you meet with the Dr, who will answer any questions you may have. Dr. Davidson is a very matter of fact person, but is very informative. He has a dry sense of humor, so I don't think everyone gets it. His knowledge though will put you at ease and never makes you feel stupid for asking questions. Last, you meet again with Linda who will set you up a tentative date and give you information on where to go from there. Chris, the program director who patiently guides you through this whole process is amazing. He will make you feel comfortable, answer questions, and will make you laugh. The only thing so far that was a little bit annoying was the wait during the day, there was a couple of times during the office visit that I was waiting on personal phone calls to finish and staff/doctor meetings. That being said though, I feel very comfortable with this group of people. You basically end up with a warm, fuzzy, feeling when you walk out the door. <br> I have to say I love Dr. D. After having the surgery, my opinion of him is even greater!! He is very much a very matter of fact person, but I have complete confidence in his abilities. He saw me both days in the hospital, made sure I was up and walking, and really knows how to make you start getting the most out of the surgery from day one!!!"
