HELLO EVERYONE,
I HAVE GOT A DATE AND IM SO EXCITED, AND A LITTLE NERVOUS. DR.MEILAHN WAS VERY HELPFULL TO ME. ON MY FIRST APPOINTMENT I BROUGHT A LIST OF ?'S FOR HIM. HE KINDLY ANSWERED EVERY ?. HE SPENT ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF EXPLANING DIFFRENT OPTIONS I HAD. I WAS NOT RUSHED AT ALL. HE WAS ALL SO INFORMATIVE AND SUPPORTIVE. OFFICE STAFF WERE ALSO KIND AND FRIENDLY LIKE THE'VE KNOWN YOU FOREVER. WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST APPT WITH HIM HE DOSN'T WANT YOU TO MAKE A DATE FOR SURGERY, HE WANTS YOU TO GO HOME THINK ABOUT IT, DO RESEARCH, AND DISCUSS WITH FAMILY. I DID ALL THE ABOVE BEFORE I GOT THERE AND I GOT MY DATE. JULY 16, 2001.I RATE DR.MEILAHN A 10!!!!!!!!
I had my first consult with Dr, Mielahn on 12/6/00. I found Doctor Mielahn to be attentive, informative and understanding. He took all the time I needed to discuss the surgery and answered all of my questions. He explained the surgery, benefits and risks, in great length.
I found his staff to be accomodating.
