Dr. Glass is absolutely amazing! He makes sure you know exactly what you're getting yourself into before surgery. He thoroughly explains the risks and the expected outcomes - there are no surprises! He has high expectations and makes sure you know what you need to do in order to meet your goals. I didn't have a single complication with my surgery. I was out of bed and walking the halls only a few hours out of recovery, and the whole next day he made sure I was up and moving around. His staff is just as great. Kristin (the nutritionist) is always available for questions. I can send an email to her at 3am with a question about something and I'll generally have a response back by 7 or 8am that morning. It's such a good feeling knowing you're working with such a friendly and all around competent team of people. The *only* thing I would change would be the time it takes in the waiting room for appointments. Although it may be average, sometimes it seems to be a little long. But hey, good quality service is worth the extra wait!
I first saw Dr. Blaney at a Info Seminar at that he and his staff have monthly. I did not know if I cared for him at first. He seemed a little too good looking and a little too cocky. Although, the Info Seminar was very informative and I was impressed by his emphasis on education and aftercare. The seminar covered all the basis and I made that first phone call the next day. rnAfter my first appointment, I realized I had been unfair to Dr. Blaney, and that he really was a very caring doctor. He spends an hour with his patients at the initial appointment to make sure you understand the different surgeries, the risks, the responsibilities, and to make sure you are a good candidate. rnHis staff are great. I was apprehensive about the appointment, but from the receptionist to the nurse, they treat you with respect and dignity.rnI think that Dr. Blaney is the best. His bedside manner is wonderful, he is funny and caring. As far as the surgery, everything seems to have went wonderfully.
On my 1st visit to meet Dr. Glass, he was sick, with a terrible cold, so he did not want to get real close to me, which was fine with me. He went over many with me, and decided that I would have to have an open RNY because of my previous nissan's. I figured that would be the case, althought it scares me. I thought he was fine, hard to form an opinion on someone after 10 minites, will update more when I meet with him again. His nurse Gerry was very friendly and nice to me.
Dr. Blaney is a great surgeon! I saw 2 other doctors before I went to Dr. Blaney, they weren't very friendly, didn't run the tests like he does before you have surgery, and I liked Dr. Blaney after talking to him, he explained it all very well, and I knew he was the one I wanted to do my surgery, if your considering surgery, definitely consider him!
super, excellent educator and bedside manners. Makes you feel comfortable and answers all your questions.rnHe is capable and offers family interactionrnrnrnHe makes you apart of the processrnrnrnVery Muchrnrnyesrnrnboth
My first impression of him was he is nice, down to earth, and caring. He also tells you everything you need to know there are no surprises with him. His office staff is great too they are all very nice, helpful, and if you have any questions they are more then happy to answer them. They all make you feel comfortable you never feel out of place. As a surgeon I would rate him a 10. I don't think you could ask for a better surgeon. His surgical competence and bedside manner are both great. Dr. Blaney and his team also hold a support group meeting once a month at the hospital.
He is a great guy he makes sure you understand everything and he takes the time to answer any questions you have. I love his staff Kristin (the Nut) is awesome she goes above and beyond for the patients!! The nurses are great too. Aftercare is as important and the pre op stuff if not more!! They have support groups and a strict plan to follow and they are always available for questions and assistance!! He is very upfront about the risk but he also gives you the percentages and lets you know what that means!! I would have to say Dr. Glass is top notch first class doctor!! Both are great but if i had to chose i would rather have surgical competence!!!
****Dr.Glass (or Papa G as some of his patients call him) is AWESOME!!! he has geat bed side manners and treats you like you are his only concern (even if you aren't)!!!

I have met Dr. Blaney 1 time for my initial consult. He was so laid back, i knew i was going to love him. I felt like a person not a number. His office staff are so incredibly sweet, and helpful!! I will post more as i have more appointments with him!
