Geisinger Health Systems Bariatric Center
I was very impressed with Dr. Petrick, He answered all my questions before I got to ask. He is a new doctor at our hospital and I was a little worried about that but when I spoke to him he put all my worries at ease.He is new to our hospital but not to the procedure . He was practicing at a hospital in Pittsburg where the WLS rate is very high.
He explained the entire procedure , as well as what to expect after the surgery,risks as well. He informed me if after I come home there is any problems even a pain that doesnt feel right to call him immediatly. He said he will know any arising problem unlike a doctor not familiar with this surgery. He told me if it's 2a.m. and I have a problem he will answer my call,only being out of the state would make a difference and then his assoc. will be there for his patients.
Also all other surgeries before me have been done open,and Dr.Petrick is a specialist in minamally invasive surgery so I feel very lucky to have him as my surgeon as I will be having Lap now.
