"Very attentive staff, even the wheelchair pushers were wonderful. Even though I didn't get alot of rest, I had the most rest I have ever had in a hospital, and anytime that I wanted to get up, the nurse was there within minutes to help me. Very great care."

"Wonderful wonderful wonderful!"

C. Thomas Hitchcock
"My first impression of Dr. Hitchcock was that he was perfect for me. He had just the right blend of humor/sensitivity/professionalism. I asked many questions and he answered every single one of them. He seems genuinely concerned about the plights of the morbidly obese, and really makes me feel like a person. His office staff is wonderful. Nola, the care coordinator is wonderful. They need about three more of her! She is overworked (probably because I keep faxing her more info) but always a delight to speak with! Dr. Hitchcock will require you to attend a very informative seminar about wls. His preferred methods are open or lap rny. You will fill out an information packet, submit any medical records necessary, and then Nola will submit for insurance approval. Upon approval, you will be set up for all your testing, appointments, etc. Dr. Hitchcock really emphasizes after care. He wants to see you no less than once a month for the first year. He says that is critical to obtaining success statistics and monitoring any and all related problems. Dr. Hitchcock provided all who attended his seminar with a detailed information packet (which coincided with his slide presentation)about all of the risks/benefits of any wls, particularly the procedures he does. He leaves alot of space for you to take notes. My experience with him so far has been top notch. I look forward to going through this with him!"
