"My first impression was that he seemed like a good surgeon and that I would be taken care of and he made me feel like his office and staff were very caring.rnOver time, my impression changed though because every single time I called the office with a question or concern, noone ever answers the phone. The office manager never returned my phone call or email. It's hard to find answers to simple questions like: can i take anything for my headache since we are just a few days away from surgery? Can I please get info about the support group so that I can attend one prior to surgery?rnI met once with the surgeron, which was when they were supposed to have a seminar. That didn't happen. He came by my bed to sign something the day of surgery but never spoke a word to me. The day after surgery he came by for less than 5 minutes. rnHe's nice but in my opinion, this is truly just a business deal to him. This is a major surgery and my experience felt more like I'd driven thru a fast food drive thru.rnNever spoke about aftercare.rnWish I'd changed surgeons, even if it meant that I'd have had to wait until after the new year. The website testimonials said that he called after surgery and I never received a call. I was told that I'd receive a call 1 time 24 hours after leaving the hospital, then after another 48 hours, I'd get a call again. No one ever called.rnOf course, this was my experience and I'm not saying that everyone will have it the same."

"Some of the staff was excellent. There was 1 new nurse that was very rough and too anxious for my taste. There was a lot of in and out in my room so I didn't get enough rest. It was good on one hand because they checked on me constantly but it was just tiring. I was released by my doctor alittle too soon, I thought. He released me on Wednesday and that was the worst that I'd felt."
