Richard Greenberg
"I have not yet met Dr. Greenberg, however, my first consultation with him is on 5/2/01. Thus far I have dealt with his receptionist, scheduling nurse, dietitian, and the receptionist at the physchologist (where I'm being referred for the evaluation), all have been extremely pleasant and very helpful. I will update this after my first visit. Well I had my initial consult on 5/2/01. I met Dr. Greenberg and his surgery RN Dawn. Both were very pleasant. I asked Dr. Greenberg how many gastric bypasses he has performed and he told me seven (7). Dr. Greenberg was very open to my questions and is a very nice person. Dr. Greenberg and Dawn did make sure I did know the benefits and risks of the surgery. My next appt is 5/30/01 @ 12:30p. But they will try to move it up! I had my psych eval on 5/3/01. Dr. McCafferty, the psychiatrist was so nice. His office is located on a second floor of a building and he came down to the first floor to interview me, since I am still now weight-bearing on my left foot. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs the eval! :) I have my meeting with the dietician tomorrow (5/7/01) and will update after that. Beth, the dietician is so nice. We basically worked on what I should be eating to get my body ready for post-op eating. She will meet me again a couple days post-op, while I am still in the hospital. 5/8/01: Good news, my 2nd consult is 5/23/01 at 12:30p.:) Hopefully I'll get my surgery date then! 6/3/01: I did get my date on the 23rd, which is 6/19/01!!!! I asked Dr. Greenberg if I have to fast or anything the day before and he only told me to eat a light supper the night before. I also called and left a message for him last week about a vitamin B-12 nasal spray my PCP suggested and he called me back and said that is okay. This way it is a squirt once a week at home instead of a shot once a month at a doctor's office! :)"
