Steward Center for Weight Control Bariatric Center

I have met Dr. Peckuex 3 times and she has been very pleasant and accommodating to my otherwise unusual concerns. When searching for a surgeon my main concern was to find a female doctor. I am a bit bias and think that a female doctor would be more understanding of my needs. I have not yet had the surgery but from my experiences with her so far I believe that it will be a great experience.

Dr. Pecquex is an awesome physician. She is smart and very personable. She wants to get to know you and what your needs are. She explains in simple language what to expect from the surgery in the immediate future and in several years. She will also go over what happens at the hospital and the days just after the operation. rnShe does have a highly structured before and aftercare program.rnRisks are addressed by giving you a binder that has all the information about pretests, basic nutrition, post-op nutrition, all the diet stages, staff contact numbers, articles, and all the potential risks/complications. Then when you see her she explains them all and the treatment which would be done if anything occured. Then you sign a form that you have received this information.rn I believe surgical competance is a huge part but at the bedside or in the office after is where the doctor needs to see other signs and symptoms that the patient will be telling them about.rnDr. Pecquex is excellent as surgeon and clinician. I recommend her highly. These have been my personal impressions of her as my surgeon.

Well, I had my surgery on 6/4/07. I first met Dr. Pequex about 1 yr ago at a seminar for the lap band. I was very impressed with her and her staff. Earlier this year I decided I was ready to have the surgery. Suzie in Dr. Pequex's office walked me through all the pretesting that needed to be done. They are very strict but it is for your own good. I finally met the doctor about 1 month prior to surgery. She was extremely helpful in making that final decision. She explains EVERYTHING to you. She doesnt leave anything out. Surgery went very well with no complications. The nurses in every phase postop were awsome. I could not have asked for better. The med students are extremely interested in this surgery. I say the doctor later that day and the morning of my discharge. I had my first fill on 7/24/07. Was very nervous but she put me at ease. So far down about 30 lbs. Highly recommend the surgery, Dr. Pecquex and the hospital. I could not have asked for better people to help me make this life changing decision.

my first impression of him was he was nice and to the point the staff is very friendly

'Dr. Bodner is an awsome surgeon. He is kind and informative. He has a good sense of humor. He performed my surgery 5/15 and also needed to remove my gallbladder. It went off without a hitch

DR.PECQUEX IS THE MOST WONDERFUL DR.IN THE WORLD!I CAN TALK TO HER LIKE SHE IS MY BEST FRIEND.MY 1ST IMPRESSION OF HER WAS THAT SHE WAS VERY FRIENDLY.DOWN TO EARTH.ALWAYS IN AN UPBEAT MOOD NO MATTER HOW HER DAY WENT.SHE WAS ALWAYS WITH YOU IF YOU HAD TO GO FOR ANY TESTING.SHE IS LOVING AND CARING.I CANT SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT HER.I LOVE HER AS A DR.AND FRIEND

Nicole Pecquex and the staff at St.Elizabeth's Hospital couldn't have been more supportive!! They all take the time and care to make sure that you are well aware of what to expect!All aspects of the surgery is fully explained and you always feel comfortable to call or ask questions at any time!! The program is so complete down to the after surgery care I got from the ICU surgical staff! You are never made to feel uncomfortable for being a larger size person,the focus is always on making you well!! thanks to all for the support

My first impression of Dr. Pecquex was that she was pleasant and knowledgable. Over time this impression turned into absolute acceptance that she was indeed very knowledgable as well as easy to talk to and she has a nice sense of humor and is always pleasant to be around.

I met with her three times prior to surgery and every day that I was in the hospital. She was on a well earned vacation when my first post-op visit was scheduled,so I met with Dr. Kevin O'Donnell (who I met on the day of surgery and again during my stay in the hospital). I have been meeting with Dr. O'Donnell ever since for my post-op visits and have found him to be just as compent, easy to talk to, and caring as Dr. Pecquex.

The office staff could not be more helpful. They all get three stars from me.

Dr. Pecquex is on the cutting edge of gastric bypass surgery. The protocals that she and her team have in place are designed to safeguard the patients and to minimize risks. The aftercare program that is in place at the Weight Loss Center are excellent and she is fully behind it.

Any and all surgery risks are explained in detail and I felt that the decisions that I was making were fully informed decisions.

I would give Dr. Pecquex an excellent +++ rating. She is not only competent in the OR, but she has a great bedside manner, and cares about you as her patient.

Doctor Bodner was very informative and was a very straight and forward about the surgery.

He was the same person on very visit.

The office staff were very nice and will to reply to all my questions.

Nothing!

He is very strick and is looking out for your well being, if you do what he tells you to do you will do just fine.

Doctor tells you to follow the instruction that were given to you and you will do fine.
Yes following the instruction that were given to you by your nutriectiest and you will make out fine.
Doctor Bodner tells you that their are risk and it give you a hand out about the surgery and how many he has done and the result of the surgerys. You need to believe in your surgery and god helping him in your surgery.

Doctor Bodner is a wonderful and caring doctor and he will answer all you questions.

Both Great!

I have not met Dr. Pecquex yet.
