"I have nothing but the utmost respect for this man. He has been my primary for approx 9 years and always looked after me, listed to me & done his best to help me any way possible. He was very supportive about my WLS and I owe him everything. He is compassionate and always there for me. He can never retire!!!!!!! "

"I had the most wonderful nursing staff that I have ever seen. Even my family from out of town (they have seen many hospitals) were overwhelmed & impressed. They were attentive, took care of all of my needs, and had the most wonderful personalities. That is not always common. I did not lack for anything & their response time was great. I would highly recommend them for anyone considering this surgery."

"06/26/2001: I met Dr. Stahl today. Not what I expected, but then I don't know what I expected. He introduced himself, sat and reviewed my medical info, asked questions and answered my list of questions. I think it was because it was the end of the day, and I was the last patient (there had been an emergency earlier and he was running behind). I didn't really feel slighted and he seemed nice and competent enough. He was honest about the Lap surgery and my weight, but I left with the feeling that something was missing. I guess I expected too much. His staff gave me an appointement for today, wrote me a card with the date and time on it, but forgot to write it in the appt. book. So after MAJOR persistance, I got to wait 2 hours until I was the last one and they called me back. The rest of the staff was very nice, and Suzy has been the nicest. I am chalking it up to a "test" for what I am willing to endure in order to have this surgery and not indicative of what is to come, moving forward as quickly as possible so I can get a surgery date. 07/09/2001: Susy has been GREAT, keeping in contact with me as requested, so that we can get everything done as quickly as possible. She has returned phone calls, answered faxes, & completed my file for insurance company within a reasonable amount of time. 07/30/2001: I have to say that Susy has been wonderful. She has returned my calls, & called me ASAP when they got the letter. She made this happen so quickly, because if she had been as slow as other offices I hear about, it could have taken forever. I treated her with respect, did not waste her time, left her voice mails when needed, and am VERY pleased with her getting my stuff done so quickly and with a good attitude! Thank you Susy! 08/24/2001: 4 days post-op, very impressed with his skills. Incisions are tiny, no staples, no tape, look like little skinny scabs. They will be gone soon, will not even be able to see them. No pain, just soreness! The hospital staff on the 2nd floor was the BEST! Nothing but praise for them all!"
