I have had a great experience with Dr. Ringold. He is very knowledgeable. I hope that everything goes well with surgery.
I had a very positive impression of Dr. Lane when I met him for the first time. He explained everything in great detail, and answered every question that I came in with before I even had a chance to ask it! Since that time, my opinion of him has grown even more positive. He is terrific about giving me his undivided attention during appointments, and he has been very encouraging and supportive, even going so far as to call me personally after hours when I was having a lot of nausea and vomiting. Most importantly, I truly feel that Dr. Lane LISTENS to me - I have never at any point felt that he was too busy, or that he was condescending or dismissive. In my opinion, Dr. Lane is an exceptional doctor, and I would reccommend him to anyone who is contemplating this surgery. I also found most of his office staff to be pleasant and helpful, although I did experience one unpleasant phone conversation with the nurse on phone duty who was dismissive and condescending to me regarding my diet post surgery. As it turns out, she happened to be wrong, and the problems that I was having were not caused by my diet, but rather by a stricture. I learned a valuable lesson that day, and I now make sure to address my concerns to Dr. Lane if I do not receive satisfaction from my contact with the nurse.
At first, I was really nervous, But he and his staff were great!! He was very informative and made sure that I completely understood what he was saying about what was going to take place and what the risks are, ect. He was very straight forward(I enjoyed that). Everyone in his office made me feel very comfortable and helped me in every way that they could. My husband was with my at my appointment and Dr. Weinstein gave him the same respect.(Some doc's will almost ignore the family member with you, but he made a point to speak to my husband and make sure that he understood too.)So far I am completely impressed and WILL be telling friends about him!!
He has been great
It hasnt he has done everything to put me at
ease with the surgery
They have all been very helpful.
Havent found anything not to like about him
I think he is going to be a great doctor
He stresses your care for after surgery is
what will make the surgery a success.
Yes he does you will see the dietian again
when you make your first follow up vist
He has went over every risk that could
posibly happen
So for a really good doctor but ask again after the surgery
I think to make the patient comfortable both is needed
My first impressions are positive. Since I have not actually had my surgery yet, I cannot give a great deal of information. Dr. Weinstein's staff has been very helpful in all dealings with them. They even went to bat for me with the insurance company when I was initally denied coverage for surgery. They have a very detailed procedure for educating their patients about surgery and aftercare. I will have to post more after surgery.
Nice guy. Very informative. Office staff is very nice didn't make me feel like a FAT person.
Great, he is the best surgeon ever, he explained everything and was there for any questions. He took an active interest in my progress.
Since my first meeting with Dr. Weinstein, I have been very impressed with him. He takes lots of time explaining the procedure and what the patient should expect. He is truly interested in improving people's lives.
His staff is also very nice. I had to reschedule an appointment because my daughter got hurt. They understood and worked me in and didn't make me wait until the "next available".
Dr. Lane is very professional and caring. He is truly compassionate towards those of us who have weight problems. Dr. Lane
thoroughly reviews each patients case to make sure the surgery is right for them. His office staff are very busy, but courteous, especially Mary in the insurance office.
You might have to wait a few minutes before you actually see the Dr., after weighing in and being put into an exam room. Only because Dr. Lane takes time with each patient and just remember he will take as much time as you need also! I appreciate a physician that does not hurry in and hurry out, especially when you are having a serious decision to make.
Dr. Lane is very concerned that each patient have a complete and thorough knowledge of each stage of the surgical process. He covers all the risk, follow-ups and after care of the surgery. This group of Physicians educate each patient with a class called the BEGIN class at Mobile Infirmary.
There was one nurse in his office that lacked a personal touch, but understandably we all have bad days. The Nurses, Exercise Physiologist, and Dieticians are very compassionate and informative. You know that they care and that you will be in Good hands.
I was impressed with the fact that Mobile Infirmary has a wing where all SWL (surgical weight loss) patients are taken care of, which is furnished with chairs, beds, gowns ect. for large (obese) patients.
I would Rate Dr. Lane as 10 out of 10 thus far, 10 being excellent
