Chewable Iron w/Vitamin C & Herbs
"for those of you (like me) who need the uncoated iron this tastes better than liquid."

Paul E. Macik
"Have not yet had any contact w/ the office there. Just had a baby and am on my way to start the process of the surgery. I have heard very good things about the drs. and the staff. 7-27-01: I spoke w/ one of the staff on the phone and have schd an appt for 8-28-01. She sent out my ppwk that day and I rcvd it the next day. So far good things. No bad vibes from the office. One thing is that before surgery the patient is required to go to one support grp. meeting. 8-29-01: I had my first appt last night. It went fine. Dr. Macik is very nice and in the group meeting after we actually found out he had a sense of humor. He answered all the questions we had, explained the surgery in great detail, pre and post op, could not emphasize enough the importance of calcium after and exercise to prevent clots. He confirmed some of the thoughts I had. Yes, they use an NG tube and they also use heparin therapy until you leave the hosp. Very big relief to me. Karen (the insurance lady) tells you like it is and holds nothing back. We all appreciated that. 1-15-02: Spoke w/ Karen today. She helped a great deal to let me know what to expect w/ the fight I am up against w/ United HealthCare. 5-5-02: Surgeon did not have a very good bedside manner, but when it came time for me to shut up, he did @ least ans my question."
