Dr. McKane was suggested by my primary's office. He is very personable and very thorough in his procedures. Went through a lot of tests but I guess it is worth it. The whole office is nice and everyone is very friendly. They want to make sure that you are both mentally and physically prepared for the procedure. The dietician emphasizes how much you are going to have to change your lifestyle and has you start out by eating better before you have the surgery. The risks of surgery and what to expect is explained so that you understand all that is going on. They are great.
At first I was unsure of Dr. McKane but after I got to know him I really liked him. He did not pull any punches he told you exactly what the complications could be. He told me all the risks involved and made sure I was well aware of what I was getting in to. The office staff was great, they are very supportive and understanding. He was wonderful after the surgery and answered any question I had no matter how small. The only thing I do notice now that I am doing great and all I do not get to see him I usually see the nurse practitioner Sarah (who I love) but I think the office has just gotten so busy it is hard to have time for all the patients. I would recommend him to anyone (I have already). I tell everyone that at first you do not know how to take him because he just tells it like it is no beating around the bush but stick with him he is more then worth it.
My first impression of Dr. McKane was he was very kind, and informative. He was great through the whole thing. The office staff was kind, and curtious, but as of yet not very friendly. The only thing that I didn't like about him was that I didn't get to see him just before my surgery. To his future patients, you'll love him. As for his aftercare, he is very thourogh, and again informative. Yes he does have a structured aftercare program. He hands out a paper listing all that the risks might be to you during and after your surgery, and discusses them with you. On a scale of 1-10 Dr. McKane is a 10. I couldn't tell you what his bedside manner is because I never saw him in the hospital, as the other surgeon in the practice was on that weekend. But his manner was great also. Dr. McKane's surgical cometence is outstanding as far as I am concerned. I had little pain and little scarring.
Dr.McKane was great, he laid it on the line and told me the truth. I love the staff Debbie. Colleen, and John you are all great. I would send anybody there in fact I have sent many people to talk to the staff and Dr. McKane.
Dr. McKane is a very friendly man. I was nervous when I entered his office but he quickly put me at ease. rnI am impatient wanting to have my surgery ASAP but he is being very thorough. I feel I am safe and in good hands. The staff at Arnot Medical Center have been very patient with me and they are doing their very best to keep things moving along. So far the journey has been a good experience and everyone there has been so supportive and kind. rnDr. Mckane took the time to explain everything to me in the first visit. I have seen him only twice but have complete confidence in him.
very straight and to the point. only first consultation. ok. just basic facts. yes they have a structured program. yes he addresses all the risks as well as national statistics and his personal stats. 9 out of 10 rating overall, because no smiles.
I was alittle taken aback when Dr. McKane walked in the room and stated that I "was not chubby enough for the surgery" that is until he looked at how much I actually weighed! i love Dr. McKane and everyone in his office. they are extremely professional and helpful.
Dr. McKane what can I say; a great guy who has performed an operation that could make me a healthy young person again. He and his office staff are all great and are there whenever you need something. I couldn't have found a better place to go.
