Dr. Dunshee has been great. My first impression was he looked young but seemed very confident. The staff at Tallgrass were extremely helpful and very easy to work with but they are also very busy. There is just two of them and it seemed liked 2 thousand patients. I would rate Dr. Dunshee a 10 out of 10. He did a great job during my surgery. I had other lap procedures in the past and was extremely brused afterwards but with Dr. Dunshee I was not brused at all. I ended up having to stay overnight simply because my surgery was so late in the day. The doc was in bright and early in the morning and I was able to get out of there. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Dunshee, his staff or the staff at St. Francis.

First impression of Dr. Hamilton was that he is a very warm person who truely cares with a sense of humor. His office staff has been wonderful so far.

I'm scheduled to meet Dr. Bernstein on Aug 29th and see what type of surgery I will have. More than likely it will be an open RNY. I knew I wouldn't have a chance at the scope so I am ready!! The bariatric nurse is awesome and keeps in touch.rnrnOnce I see the doc I will post more.

Tallgrass Surgical Center has been wonderful. I felt very comfortable asking any and all questions during my consult. I was required to attend an information seminar and watch an online informational video, Emmi. Both were helpful and made me feel more comfortable with my decision. My surgery went very well. All the nurses and doctors were easy to talk to and very skilled. Although I didn't care much for the nurse practitioner, I appreciate the after care my surgeon provides. I did get infected in my port site. Both the physician's assistant and my surgeon have taken care of the infection. They are very aggressively attacking the infection and it seems to be healing well. With my self-pay price I get 2 years of fills and office visits. Rachelle, the bariatric nurse, is the best. I've attended the support groups she offers. She gets to know the patients personally and is very friendly. I just can't say enough positive things about the experience I have had with this group! Highly recommended!

My first impression of her was that she was very knowledgeable about the surgery. I also felt a little rushed as the nurse came in halfway through our visit and she said she had someone on the phone. So after that I felt like she hurried up our visit. Part of that was my fault, I should of said you go ahead and take the call, I can wait. What I have read about her though, that she is very straight forward and to the point and a very good surgeon. The staff was very pleasant. I will go back for my pre-op visit on May 11th.

I highly recommend not only this surgeon, but the entire practice. They are supportive, knowledgable and friendly. One of the surgeons has even gone through the procedure himself! Their staff is highly educated and can answer questions. They are even willing to do it. I actually live closer to Wichita, but would never consider having this particular procedure done there. rnrnHighly recommend!

Dr Dunshee and all the Doctors and staff at Tallgrass Surgery Center are great and have been so helpful along with the staff on the 5th floor at St. Francis Hospital.rnI would recommend everyone of those Doctors there.

I like Dr. Bernstein alot. Before surgery she sent me a link to an informational video to watch. Durimg the video, I was given the opportunity to stop and type any questions that I might have had. I did have alot. Those questions were sent to her and she brought the list to my first consult and went over each question. That was great!! For some reason I get very nervous and usually forget what I plan to say when I go see a doctor. This was the best part - to get the chance to really address my concerns. The staff is great - very helpful!! Aftercare could be a bit more specific. I don't get to go to the support groups (I live 2 hours away), so maybe that is where people get more instruction.rnOVERALL - VERY PLEASED!!

What an awesome surgeon!!! I could not have asked for a better surgeon. All the surgeons at Tallgrass are exceptional.....

Dr. Bernstein is wonderful. She is extremely informative and very nice. She was there right after I woke up from surgery and she was the one who checked on me each morning in the hospital. I was 100% confident with her abilities and and 100% satisfied with the care she has shown and given me. I would rate her 10 out of 10.
