Has anyone had Dr. O'Connor???????

I have gone through almost every one of the profiles looking for someone who has had their surgery with Dr. O'Connor. I am hoping to have her do my surgery and would like to get a heads up from someone who has been there. My appointment with her is Wednesday. Please help.

I have not met her personally but was told I was the first person she assisted on for WLS. My surgery was almost a year ago and Dr Clough sings her praises. I have heard she is a fantastic surgeon. That alone would make me feel comfortable with her. Good luck! Theresa 235/143/140?135

Thank you Theresa for getting back to me. Wednesday is my meeting with her and I hadn't heard anything from a patient, but the nurses in the OR and ICU also sing her praises. Hope to meet up with you at a support group meeting in the future.

Hi Karen, Dr Clough did my surgery last March 4th. While he was on vacation over Memorial Day, Dr O'Conner performed an emergency surgery for me to repair a post-surgical complication. She is an excellent surgeon and a wonderful, compassionate person. Although she may not have the years of experience doing the bypass, her skills in the operating room are supported by my experience with her and the respect she has from the entire nursing staff on Merrrit 3. Dr. O'Connor was a nurse prior to becomming a surgeon. I think you will immediately feel comfortable and confident in her once you meet her. Best wishes! Kent

Hi Kent, Thank you for getting back to me. I had done research on the surgeons when I was in Emmc for my clinicals. I am an EMT. All the nurses have great respect for Dr. O'Connor. My concern was that I couldn't find anyone who had surgery with her, on the site. I only saw the posting for someone who was denied by Dr. O'Connor as not being an ideal patient. What's Ideal and what is she expecting from her patients. I did talk to Kathie. She got back to me last night and reassured me that if Lynn felt that I was "golden" then I should be fine. I will post this afternoon when I get back from seeing her and let you know how I made out. Thanks again, Karen
