"My first impression of him was through his staff. The Staff was very courteous to answer any and all of my questions. They ALWAYS called me back.rnAs far as the doctor... wow.. an amazing man. rnHe comes into the room with a quietness about him at first, but when he speaks, its with sincerity and compassion. I noticed in the hospital he was a bit more relaxed than in our first meeting. He's not the humorist type like I am but he did play along. lol I'm always looking for a smile.rnrnA thet first meeting he let me know that this is a risky surgery as all surgeries are. He gave me the statistics and such. He informed me that he would prefer lap band over the RNY for any of his family members. Due to insurance I had to choose the RNY. rnThe estimated cost that they gave me for the lap band was $15,000. Not bad. There also are financial options that they give you information on to help you out.rnrnBedside manner, Everything was great. From the Doctor, to the nurses at Carle Hospital, to the facility itself. Even in the operating room, the girls there were fabulous. rnrnI give my overall experience a 10. Could'nt have received any better care than what I got all the way around.rnrnOh, you want to hear a negative?? okay The only negative that I have to say about my entire experience is the pre op testing and registration. grrr. All day long going here and there. My body was to fat to go here and there comfortably. hehe but hey, I lived through it and so can you"

"the bariatric room was amazing!! made specifically for obese patients. Also, the chairs in the lobby, some are specifically designed for large patients as well. They are intermingled with the smaller chairs so as not to look intimidating. Its very well designed for us biggy peeps."
