"Monday night they "forgot" to give me a nurses button and phone. I laid in bed for 2 hours yelling for a nurse. "

James A. Sapala
"I met him on Feb 5th very nice man. I haven't had a one on one consultation with him yet. 2/18/02 I had my first conference with Dr Sapala and his staff on 2/15/02. The receptionist there was not all that pleasant (maybe she was having a bad day?) I came in early because of the distance asked if there were any cancellations. There weren't so we went to the mall and then returned. She hands me a packet that I need to fill out (Wondering why she didn't give me these when I was there earlier and we could of saved sometime) I waited almost 90 minutes before I got to see the Doctor. When my name was finally called.. I went for my BP check and weight. Then wisked to the doctor's room to wait another 25 minutes. Dr. Sapala took almost 40 minutes with my husband and I (no wonder I had such a wait). Taking time to explain everything thoroughly to us. Then we met with his twin brother John (he is also the nutritionist) he was very clear on what the expectations for my diet are. Exactly what and how much I was going to eat, and at what stage I was going to be able to eat anything with consistency though some of his termanology was a bit over my head and I had to try to translate it. Theresa (Dr Sapala's nurse) was very friendly. I had an extrememly pleasant visit. I am most comfortable with my decision at this time. I am sure my feeling will stay the same. I have the H-pylori bacteria so I am taking 14 days of prevpac. I requested that my surgery be in March because I work for a steel mill and we are suppose to turn around second quarter and that it would be hard for me to get the time off... Well it wasn't a problem I am scheduled for 3/11 and I do not need to return to Drs office until 1 week later!"
