"The hospital parking is the worst in the galaxy. They need to do something about it. The OR staff was amazing. Wendy was outstanding. The nurses depended on who you got. I had a great day one staff. Perengit (hope I spelled that right) was awesome, her assistant Juana was spectacular. Day two, not so hot. Rosemanon, don't mispronounce her name or she will set you straight. She had the bedside manor of a paper towel. I can work most people to turn them nice but she is just the most miserable person ever. Her assistant, Dulce, was very nice - not as great as Juana. The Charge Nurse came in a few times to introduce herself and make sure everything was ok. Don't be afraid to ask for meds or voice what hurts. That is their job. If they have an attitude then complain to the charge nurse. The surgery isn't free. That is their job - to take care of you. If I had had day ones staff then the overall rating for Hialeah would have been excellent. Hialeah should read this and adjust things accordingly."
"My first impression of Dr. DLC was that he was young and had a really soothing personality. He had all the time in the world for me or at least thats how he made me feel. I went to his seminar and he talked forever. The people were dropping like flies but I walked out feeling like I had earned a medical degree. The wealth of information he gave was vast. The office staff is nice. I didn't have loads of interaction with them. The office wait is very very long. Almost discouraging. His anesthegiolist was hilarious. Great guy. I'm glad he'll be there. There isn't anything I can say I liked least other than the fact that you have to do the optifast diet for two weeks. Its rough. If you're in the market for a GB dr then I think he is one of the tops. I personally know several people who have done it with him and not one has one bad thing to say. He is very strict about after care and rightfully so. He asks/requests/demands that you come to one monthly meeting for the first year and then it tapers down for the rest. It makes all the sense in the world. You take your car in for an oil change - why would you treat yourself differently. He tells you all the possibly risks of surgery and what to do to avoid them. If you follow what he says then its really a walk in the park - with a little discomfort. This guys is great all around. I can't say one bad thing about him."
