'Dr. Boone was very professional. Explained every detail. My impression of him never changed over time. He always seemed to answer all my questions before I asked them. Seeing how my progress has been the last 2 months
'I like him. Easy to talk to and doesn't pussy foot around. The office staff are a great bunch of women that are very nice and on the ball!rnThere is a very structured after-care program in Fresno that I haven't gone to yet. I would like to go pre-op just to get a feel for it and learn more. rnHe saw that I had a history of a blood clot in my leg and asked for an ultrasound prior to submitting to ins.and requested that I attempt to loose 10-15 lbs prior to the surgery. (I'm working on that now... started yesterday) He was telling me that the weight could be the difference between an open vs. lap incision. I'm all for the lap and would rather have that than the open as he said that they are more precise with the lap and there are fewer complications and easier recovery time with lap vs. open. rnI would say that both bedside manor and surgical competence are highly important. You want a surgeon who knows what he's doing and yet one that doesn't treat you as another body on the production line. I feel that I've got a great surgeon who has a sense of humor
I first met Dr Boone at one of his seminars at St Agnes hospital in June, 2005. I very much liked the way he presented the surgery. I was very comfortable with him from the start. My insurance was Blue Shield Highmark, and they required a 6 month Dr diet. Dr Boones office worked with my regular doctor (Dr Matson) and as soon as I was done with my 6 months, they had my approval in less than 2 weeks. In fact, Christina from Dr Boones office received the fax on a Saturday and called me on my cell phone with the news. They are very compassionate and were just awesome! Dr Boone takes time when you see him post op as well. During my visits, he listens as we go over questions, and asks questions that I may not have thought about. I would recommend him to everyone.
Dr. Boone did a great job with my surgery. He and his associates are very professional and curteous. The office staff is sensitive and go out of their way to keep you feeling safe and secure. I am a nurse at one of the facilities where Dr. Boone practices and he always greets me and asks how I am. He's very thoughtful man. The aftercare portion was handled mainly by the doctors office staff, although I did see the doctor each time. The entire back office staff were all knowledgable about aftercare and would readily answer any questions I had. I believe that Dr. Boone has the highest degree of skill and competence in surgery..followed by bedside manner at a close 2nd.
Dr. Boone is a very caring Dr. He makes sure you understand everything,before and after surgery.I really like him even more 3 months after surgery, when you go see him he wants to know how things are changing for you at home and he always lets you know that he can see the changes in you each time you see him.The staff is frendly and very helpful.Both his bedside and and surgical manner are great, I would recommend him to any and all who ask me. He really is a personable man. My husband really like him also, he spoke to him as well as me before and after surgery.
Dr. Boone was professionly. I was not looking for a talker just someone that knew what he was doing and would not lie to me. I felt he was honest and straight forward. I don't like my hand held and he didn't do that. He is informative. No negative issues right now. I am one week post op.
My first impression of Dr. K. Boone was that he could really talk fast!! He is a very nice man who will answer any questions you have. He seems to be a caring man and wants to help you lose weight. His crediential are excellent and I am very pleased to have him as my Doctor.
His office staff is very nice and helpful. About the only negetive thing is that it takes a long time to get in to see him , but once you get in .....no problems!
He emphasizes aftercare alot since the procedure is only a "tool in our journey." He wants to follow his patients ongoing.
I am 6 days after surgery and saw him yesterday. He gave me papers with important info on diet and you can call his office anytime and get answers to your questions.
He explained how the surgery would be performed, how long the procedure should take and the risks of surgery, answering any questions my husband or I had.
I am very pleasd with him as a doctor and a surgon and would not have gone to anyone else , as he is highly regarded by all. He is the only Dr. that I would recommend going to in this area. I believe surgical competence is first and formost!! A good bedside manner can't hurt. Dr. Keith Boone has both!!
