My first impression of Dr. Angstadt was that he was a very busy man. He was about 10 minutes late (no biggie as he had just gotten out of surgery). He looks quite a bit like Richard Gere (but with better hair) which took me by suprise also. He is very direct and to the point. He doesn't candy coat things and he has a very strict, but caring team that you have to go through before you get to finally meet him. He is thorough in his explaination of the surgery. I felt that I was in good hands. He has a very strict before and after care program. He addressed all the risks of surgery. The only thing that I didn't like was that the entire time he was talking to me, he had one of those mini-phones clipped to his ear. I kind of felt like I was talking to a very busy vulcan lol. I joked around with one of his staff and said that the next time I come in; I was going to have a mini baby powder clipped to my ear, because changing diapers is my job. Overall I would rate him and his program as a 10. The only true complaint that I had was when I had a stricture and I told one of his office staff about it (I knew it was a stricture) I don't feel that they got me in fast enough to have me dialated. Waiting was dehydrating and miserable (I couldn't even swallow my own salia very well during this time).
