Midtown Surgical Specialists Bariatric Center
When I first met Dr Blaney I thought here is a compassionate dr who is interested in his patients. He demonstrates this consistently whenever I see him. He is a great surgeon as I came through the surgery great and have had continued success as well as his support throughout everything so far. In the beginning he covered everything regarding the risks, and the outcome. The aftercare is great as he makes suggestions regarding vitamins and protein supplements to take. I knew from going to the first support group meeting in seeing him attend that you can tell he is interested in each of his patients having a successful outcome. WE didn't come all this way to fail and he is cheering each of his patients on from the sidelines I feel very lucky to have found such as great DOCTOR in Dr. Blaney.
What can I say about Dr. Blaney and his staff? I simply think they are the best.rnrnI was nervous about meeting with Dr. Blaney for the first time, but he immediately put me at ease with his calm manner, and a great smile.rnrnEducation about WLS is a very important component of Dr. Blaney's practice. He and the staff want you to be well informed about the process from start to finish and aftercare. rnrnI attended an informational meeting, and a family meeting at which he showed us an actual operation of the lap band, and the RNY. My husband and mother were in attendance, and were very impressed with Dr. Blaney, as they asked lots of questions and he answered them all.rnrnI am looking forward to having the Lap Band on June 30, 2008.rnrnThanks Dr. Blaney for helping me help myself.
My first impression of Dr. Glass was that he was going to be my ticket to a new lifestyle. I would say that every staff member in his office is extremely sensetive to the journey we are going through. Dr. Glass is really strict about you taking this journey seriously and following his suggestions to ensure that you are successful. I really think that he cares about all his patients like they were his family. We are all one big family.
My first impression of Dr Glass was that he was very forward and to the point, Very knowledgeable and I really liked that about him. I went in wanting the lap band and came out going for the gusto because I was that comfortable with him about the whole procedure. The office staff was wonderful especially the dietician. I have recommended Dr Glass to several people and they have gone to him and have agreed with me about his personality and his beside manner. He came to see me everyday during my stay. He explained everything in depth and just made me feel very safe about having the surgery. His whole attitude was what I was looking for after going to several other doctors that did this procedure.
So far so good. I have only met him in person 2 times for about 15 min. each. He seems very thorough and direct. I can update more as time goes by.rnNow that I've had my surgery...all went fine, he stopped in to see me prior to just going into surgery, thought that was comforting. Saw him the next day, he was actually come to see me in my room but I was up for a walk and ran into him in the hall way...he was happy I was active!! Told me all went great and he expected no problems. I felt at ease with his assurance and confidence. rn12/13.................I had a slight complication, just an irritated esophagus and pouch I guess....Dr. Glass ran all the tests to make sure nothing major was going on, did everything he could to re-assure me and make things good for me. He had seen me 3 times in just a few days and still set another appt. to just check up on me next week to make sure things are healing up. His after care has really made me feel in good hands.
I first met Dr. Blaney at St. Joseph Hospital back in 2004 as an employee. I knew that this surgeon had the skills necessary to do wonderful things. Dr. Blaney does his best to make sure you truly understand the process and what you are about to undertake. Gastric by-pass isn't a quick fix, it's truly a lifestyle change. I am grateful for Dr. Blaney and know that he will continue to make a difference in so many lives that he encounters.
Dr. Blaney was very likeable and had a great bed side manner. Dr. David Crist did my actual surgery, retired and I was assigned to Dr. Blaney for my post ops. He was very professional and didn't make me feel uncomfortable. I could discuss anything with him and not feel intimidated by him. It was conversating with a good friend. Now he is part of my family. I'm sure anybody wanting bariatric surgery could depend on Dr. Blaney for everything. He is very busy, and sometimes I just want to shake him. I got very sick 2 1/2 years after my surgery, due to the surgery itself, and he actually saved my life. I rate Dr. Blaney a 10 overall on surgical competence, bedside manner and good looks.
