"While I was in the PCU, my care was awesome. The nurses, particularly Joanie were out of this world. However, when they put me on the regular floor, it was the most horrible experience of my life. I have never been ignored more completely. It was simply amazing. Had my husband, mom, and sister not taken turns staying w/me 24 hours a day, I would have been incredibly uncomfortable, and thirsty. We could barely get the nurses/lpns in there to check my vitals, or change my fluids. I am not a whiny person, and only rang the bell twice when my buzzer went off, but this was ridiculous. I felt sorry for the older people that were there alone. I know that these nurses are underpaid, overworked etc..., but when you are holding peoples lives in your hands, I think that you have a responsibility to do the best job you can, or get out! Do something else if you can't tolerate sick people. If my family had not stayed with me, I knew that I had to stay in that place a long time by myself, I could have become suicidal. I know that sounds drastic, but the pain was so bad in my back, that I could barely use the toliet without help, I would have been going insane there. Bring FAMILY or FRIENDS!!!"

"I met Dr. Thoburn on 11-22-02. My first impression was that he was very young. He may be in his mid 30's. He is professional and very nice. There was nothing about him I didn't like, he was pleasant and intelligent. Some people may not like his "to the point attitude." He is tells you the pros and cons of the surgery, he addresses your situation as well. Aftercare is a huge part of his program, he tells you plainly that you must follow his plan. he then has a nutritionist tell you the same thing it is very structured and written out in plain english for you. They really push their lifetime diet. They are "for real" about it, and they told us, if we gained weight between our consult and our surgery date that they would NOT do the surgery!!! His staff is competent and "on the ball." On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give him a 10. He appears to be very competent about the surgery, and his bedside manner is great as well. I am impressed. "

"I had been to 12 different doctors for excessive bleeding. Most of them were WOMEN, they all said, "If you lose weight, you won't have this problem." He was the ONLY one that helped me, by suggesting a D & C. He is very quiet, and I think shy, but he is absolutely the most caring doctor I have ever been to. "
