"I was very impressed with the care i was given. I found them to be very prepared for my stay there. My diet was strictly taken care of as well as my general care after surgery. They were very vigilant about my pain managment. Anything that I needed was seen to imidiately. I would strongly recomend this hospital. "

"I have not met my surgeon yet, but the contact that I have had thus far with his office staff has been professional, knowledgable, and very polite. I did however have some trouble making contact for my medical history over the phone, but persistance paid off. The biggest problem was getting my schedule in sync with theirs, or vice versa. They seem to have a very busy office, and a small staff. I do think in the long run this will be a plus though. I have an apt. for consultaion on December 11, 2001. December 11,2001 I just met my surgeon last eveing, and he is really wonderful. If I have any questions or doubts, He told me that he is available anytime to answer them. He does have an odd sort of personality, but he is so sweet and goes out of his way to make sure you know exactly what this surgery involves, and that you understand it fully. After talking with him for a while (I was there for an hour just talking to him) my impression of him being odd changed a bit. He is just really concerned that you know what you are getting into and that it is a life long commitment. He and his nurse Janet talked extensivly to me about aftercare, and nutrition. After surgery there will be a dietition that works with Dr. Stoner that will be available to me should I need her, and will help me with my after care diet. He does have a small office with a waiting room that looks like it should have a tv and a remote on the coffee table. It is a little cluttered, and small, but don't let that fool you,they are very professional about everything. March 25, 2002 I think I have been extremely fortunate to have found Dr. Stoner for my surgeon. My care has been excellent and my recover has been very speedy due to his expertise and that of his staff. After care in the hospital and out has been excellent. If I need Dr after hours, I don't get an answering service, I get him on his cell phone. In the hospital they were really prepared for me and my surgery. Everything that I ate was enriched with protien powder and had no sugar. Sugar wasn't even offered to me. There were butter buds, and splenda to add to any of my food if I wanted it. My first impression was that Dr was kind of odd, but after getting to know him better. I found out that he has a wonderful sense of humor and his bedside manor is just peachy. July 18, 2002 I am very happy with the aftercare that I have recieved from Dr. Stoner. He has been just wonderful. I had my last post op apt for now. I won't see him again for four months. He plans to keep checking on me for the next year."
