At first, I thought I was just going to be a quick in and out. But I was very wrong..he sat down talked with me for a very long time and it didn't matter how many question I had or how silly they were, he answered everyone of them. He has excellent nurses, but the front office ladies seem a little rude to me. But at least you don't have to deal with them. (Maybe they are just extermly busy). At any point you have a question you can call and ask to speak with a nurse. If they can't take your call right then they will call you back (trust me i have made a many call and not one hasn't been returned, even Dr. Weinstein returns his calls). I feel like everything was explained me in great detail. As what the risk were and the risk of surgery and out come could be. The only bad thing is, (not really sure if it is bad either) it takes a while to get an appt.(bout 3 to 4 months) Almost 6 months to surgery date. But I'm glad i had that time to think about what i was doing. To sum it up in a nut shell i'm glad i chose him. He is a great surgeon and he still taking great care of me.
I felt Dr Hannon was quick but very thorough. Everyone in his office was very nice and polite to us.
I love Dr.Daniel Lane he was wonderful to me.
From the first time I met him and he talked to me I knew I had made the right decision to
use him as my Surgeon.He never made me feel fat or unconcern about me,I was scared to meet him because I was so big but from the moment I saw him all that went away.His staff was not real caring they had made me feel like just a number but after I had my surgery they have been real nice.When I go back for my check ups Dr.Lane is alway asking me if I have any questions and how do I feel.I feel if I had not had the surgery that I would still laying in bed 10 hours a day and never any energy and I would be taking insulin shots more so than before.He told me all the pros and cons before the surgery and told me that it was all up to me what I wanted to do.I was truly blessed with having such a fine surgeon and a good lord who guided his hands safely where need be.Thank you God and thank you Dr.lane
Dr. Lane was very informative and knowledgable about gastric bypass surgery. He had an easy job with me because I went to him well informed. He has a very good bed side manner. My impression of him has stayed the same from beginning to end. His office staff has been very good. They are helpful when I needed to call in with small problems. I have recommended him to other people that are considering having wls. I believe his only short coming is the lack of and emphasis on after care. Other doctors in this group recommend that you attend group counseling with other patients. He emphasized the risks, pros and cons of the surgery very well. I would rate him as an excellent surgeon.
This all my own personal impressions from my experiences with Dr. Lane. Your own impressions may be entirely different from my own.
My surgeon was very compassionate they did not pressure you they made sure you the benefits and risks involved. They present a film which starts out with your surgeon talking thanking you for choosing them and it goes into what will happen then he comes into see you. My impression only got better. The office people are very helpful the lady in charge of insurance showed me how to contact them if I didn't here from them. My doctor made an exception and got me in the hospital during my break from college. I'm in my last semester of R.N. school. I thank him tremendously for that. So I have nothing bad to say about him. He encouraged me to go to a support group. But being so busy in school I have not had time. They have you see them every one to two months and follow you progress. Yes that is discussed on the first three appointment you make. I would give him a ten. Coming from a nurse I give surical competence a high mark. But if there bedside manner is bad it doesn't help you so watch how they are in the office to see how they will be when you are in the hospital.
i was very impressed with dr. hannon and continue to be. he was patient, explained the procedure in detail and gave me a booklet with a picture of the rny. the staff was very informative, as well as the insurance person in his office.i would highly recommend dr, hannon to others.there are monthly support groups available.
My overall impression of my doctor so far is wonderful . I haven't had my surgery yet so i will let u know how he was after surgery when i get their. The staff at Dr.Weinstien's office was very helpful but to my surprise they were not very friendly or maybe i just thought they should be a little more friendly . he does talk alot on aftercare so i am assuming this is very important .
Dr.Ringold is very nice and easy to talk to. He seems to be very caring.He staff is also very helpful and have great atitudes.
Sincere, non-judgmental, honest answered questions openly. My first impression did not change over the course of pre-op visits, surgery and post op care. I would rate him A-1. The only improvement would be his office hand outs. They are somewhat confusing on things to eat post op and some contradict each other.
