Crozer Chester Medical Center
"I think that it would be a good idea for them to train staff on what is expected for patient care after WLS or even having a certain section of the hospital designated for WLS patients post surgery. In my experience, I didn't feel like the nursing staff was very familiar on how to care for a person after WLS. They didn't get me up to walk until the day after my surgery, and as all WLS patients know, this is a definite no-no."

Leon Katz
"Dr. Katz is now working for Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Upland, PA. He is such a wonderful doctor. From the first time I met him, he was very gracious and patient, he really didn't mind taking the time to answer ALL of my questions and to help put my mind at ease. He allowed me to choose the surgery that I thought would be best for me without swaying me one way or the other. He shared with me the risks of both surgeries, but in the end I choose what I felt was best. for Recently, I went in for my first fill and was very nervous because I didn't know what to expect, but he talked me through every step of the process and set me at ease. I would refer Dr. Katz to any person in my area considering WLS. The ladies that work in the office are very pleasant and very easy to talk to. They were right on top of everything and I haven't had any bad experiences with them."

"Overall, I think this hospital did the best that they could as far as treating WLS patients, but as I stated previously, I think it would be better if they had trained staff that worked with the post surgery patients to make sure that all of their needs are cared for."
