"My first impression was that he cared. He listened to your questions and answered them patiently. He was very informative and explained the options, risks, benefits. Always quick to respond to concerns that you may have. His surgical competence and bedside manner were fantastic. The office staff all were kind and helpful. I would recommend Dr. Vollstedt for surgery if you are researching this type of surgery. The aftercare program consists of office visits - he has your PCP follow up with blood work following the surgery. However, if any problems should arise - he is always there. "
