Press release, Dr. Sonnanstine

 I would demand my money back from St. Luke.  They knew he was leaving and that if they could get him out before June they would.  Get your money back.  As for me, I am on the road to Georgetown to see my man, Dr. Tom.

Thats exactly what I'm gonna do lol Thanks!

I have been a patient of Dr. S since Oct. 2008.  I was very upset to learn he had left suddenly.  I thought I would at least get to tlak to him before he went to G'town and discuss my options.  I have an appt. for this Friday, the 13th.  The Tri-State center called to say there are 3 doctors taking over and I am to meet all 3 of them during my Friday visit.  I feel I should "interview" them, but don't really know what to ask.

Has anyone heard of the 3 - Moon, Brown  & Smith - all from the St. E practice?  It's very stressing to literally put your life in someone's hands and they leave.  I know G'town is not extremely far away, but it is a half day round trip for me.  I'm not sure how often I would have to go to know if this switch is worth it.  I would like to know more about the new guys.

I would asks all three of them...how long have they been doing this type of surgery...how many deaths have happen while they've done the surgery...how many a week do they do...what they think about the type of surgery you're having....and on and on....theres some where on here you can print out a bunch of questions to asks the surgeon...i'll try to find it for ya and holler at you again...good luck...i'm in the same boat that you're in...very upsetting

I finally found some questions to asks.... hope this helps
