"The hospital is a teaching hospital. I had student nurses taking care of me and they were wonderful! I hope they remain as caring and helpful as they were then. The other staff members were great too, I just had one person who irritated me. He is the one who makes you breathe in the little air tube thingy to keep you from getting pnuemonia(what ever it's called?. He just had a particular way he wanted it done. The other two shifts were great. They made sure you did your excersize but the didn't get aggrivated because you did it slowly or differently. He just seemed to always be hurried and you were making him late or something. I don't know, but other than that my stay was uneventful and restful. I would recommend this hospital for WLS"
"Dr. Dana Lindsay is very friendly and very professional in her behavior. She is curtious and forthcoming with any information about the surgery and the risks involved, and especially those that would pertain to you. She also puts it in laymans terms and doesn't talk over your head, she makes sure you and your family understand exactly what the proceedures are and what is expected for your prognosis.
Each time I have met with her I am met with a friendly smile and a possitive attitude. She makes my day! Her staff is professional and caring, making you feel comfortable and welcomed. In the beginning, I had to push them to get the paper work completed and sent into my insurance. After that was finally completed I was approved and had surgery within 3 weeks! Dr. Lindsay will call you personally about any questions you have and stays informed on your situation
She is very strict on what she expects for you so you will recover and get the most benefit from your surgery, and her aftercare is wonderful! She does her job and she expects you to do your part. You are followed closely by checking your weight loss and monitered with blood work to make sure all your "levels" are normal.
If I had to rate Dr. Lindsay on a scale between 1 and 10 I couldn't, she would rate much higher!!! I have complete confidence in her and I was not scared at all going into surgery. She knows her business and she really cares about people. That combination is rare. She's not only my surgeon, but my friend. And, I bet you would hear the same statement from all her patients. I would recommend her to anyone...and I have."
