well i sort of knew him , since he did my best friends surgery . so i felt comfortable with him.
it is still the same i really like him..
very nice and caring people
couldnt understand some things he says .
he is an older man , speaks ok english , and is very nice ,
he is on top of it , he wants you to come in every so many weeks
he tells you what he wants you to do and it is based on each individual person
he lets you know right off the bat what the risks are and makes sure u understand them
i would recomend him to anyone thinking about the surgery
too me it would be both ,
I was very skeptical of how Dr. Goco would perform at first because of his age. However, after talking to him a little I became more at ease. He was very informative and straight forward about the risk as well as the positives. He and his staff were more than helpful and willing to answer any questions. I have only experienced a few minor complications after surgery and Dr. Goco and his staff always made time to squeeze me in for an office visit if necessary. All of his staff treat you like part of the family when you come in. Amanda who coordinates your surgery is "THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST". She always returns your calls and finds the information you need. My overall rating for Dr. Goco and his staff would be a 9 out of 10. Nobodys perfect (smile). He would be perfect if he would do my tummy tuck for FREE. Sorry, but I don't have one negative thing to say.
My first impression was YIKES...he is kind of mean. But then I realized that he was just breaking through the bull and making sure that I really wanted this surgery. He was not going to let me go through with this unless he told me all of the negative.
I didnt know what to think at first, Dr. Goco was very to the point and straight up with me about all aspects of surgery.
After about 10mins with Dr.Goco, my impression was even higher. You can tell thtat he is very experianced and caring about his patients well beings.
Dr. Goco's staff is wonderful. I was greated with smile from everyone and everyone was very helpful. The staff treated me like I was someone and not just another insurance case like most dr. office.
The only thing I would tell Dr. Goco to do during the consult is to Smile a little. We a already sooooo nervus as it is. I know all surgons are straight too the point and all, but but I think this would help. Dr. Goco was very professional during the consult and I was very impressed by it.
Future patients should know that Dr. Goco is a wonderful person to meet and will be staight to the point about the implications of the surgery and recoveries.
Dr. goco was placed much emphasize on aftercare. He went into great detail about not over eating and what I have to do to make sure the surgery benifit me to the best it can.
Yes he does! Dr. Goco went into great detail about it also.
I would rate Dr. Goco as a 10 because of his credintials, knoweldge he shared with me about everything concerning the surgery. I would recommend him to people with the desire to have the surgery.
Both!
My first impression of him was good. I felt comfortable talking to him.
The office staff is wonderful and I have always been treated nice.
The only thing I didn't like was the long wait to see him. I am just happy that I finally got to see him.
He is very persistant about letting you know of the risks and aftercare program you must do. He is very persistant w/ having a lot of supporters. I like that. Yes he does have an aftercare program.
I would rate him probably so far a 10.
I will update more when I learn more.
Both.
I had my first visit on 02 12 2003. I was very nervous for some reason. I had all this questions to ask and I think I forgot most of them. But I have my list ready to ask on my second visit. Office staff is wonderful. There is something that is my concerned, he didnt say much re surgery, except for did you read the materiel?...
I had my Psy eval already and nutritional counseling and last week I had my pulmonary test. I have my stress test sch on 030603 and then 2nd visit with Dr Goco on 03 07 03 .
The lady name Amanda told me they will send all my ins info after 030703.
There is something that the Dr asked from me and I dont know how I am gonna do that. He wants to meat my parents before the surgery. I wasnt planning on telling my parents till after the surgery. My mom and dad are both sick...my dad is a heart patient and mom is suffering from a mental illness. I dont think either one will be able to handle this very easy, or understand what I want to do and why I want to have this surgery. Overall I think he is a good surgeon and he cares.
