"First Impression: Confident, but a little rushed (he was running behind).rnImpression change: No. He remained confident, assertive, no BS attitude.rnStaff: The nurses are very caring, understanding and patient. However, the coordinator should be replaced-in all honesty. She never answers her phone and will not get back to you before 3 business days have passed. When she does call you back she doesn't even give you an answer to your question. You have to remind her why you called. This is the only negative comment I can say about this entire practice. rnLeast: He tends to run behind a lot. But I see this as he takes his time with his patients.rnFuture patients: Know that you're in excellent hands. I felt so calm after speaking with Dr. Price. He eased my fears and never gave up on me, even when I had doubts.rnAftercare: He puts a lot of emphasis on it. It's very structured so that nothing is done too soon to put your pouch at risk. rnI would rate him 100% or 10 out of 10. I've had other operations and never have I met a doctor who was more thorough and patient. rnWhich is better: Surgical competence. Luckily Dr. Price has both competence and a great bedside manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering bypass surgery. You won't regret it. And...his cut marks are so precise and clean-the scars will be hardly noticeable once they heal. "
