"he was very informative, he made sure that i really wanted the surgery and it wasnt just a passing fancy, made sure through a lot of tests that i was healthy enought for the surgery. i like him more and more and respect him for helping people. the staff was wonderful, the hospital was spotless everyone cared about me asked me over and over if i had any questions and didnt make me feel like any question i asked was stupid even though they probably answered the questions all day long. there was nothing i didnt like i was very impressed.as far as the aftercare i havent had it yet but they said that it was very important to follow through with it. they have a wonderful after care program but unfortunately i live 3 hours away and probably will be doing the aftercare locally. he explained the things that can go wrong with the surgery, what to expect, things to look out for overall i would rate 95percent like any surgery is dangerous, and he made sure i had all the facts and that there are things that can go wrong. surgical competence id say but i dont think i will have any problems with the other two ."
