When I met Dr. Bhesenia for my consultation, I was a little disappointed that it was such a rush in/rush out type of atmosphere. I felt he was competent though.
His office staff is where I had the most problems. There is a coordinator that is very inaccessbile. I ended up having to repeat my concerns several times to several different people before actually getting to talk to her personally, and in the course of that, I was eroneously told that I was all set and ready for surgery, and then the day before surgery, I received a call saying that they had not received the approval from my insurance company. That was the worst part of this whole journey. It is like they don't realize that you have a family, a job, and other obligations that you are working around, and it is a major inconvenience, not to mention a major blow to have that light put out just like that. They rescheduled me for 2 weeks later, but at that point, I was totally deflated, and not ready, so I rescheduled. I had LB done on Good Friday, which was 4 weeks after my initial date and the rest is hopefully history. I will say that the time frame was quite speedy. Fromt he informational seminar through all the requirements and up until surgery was less than 4 months. I believe a conscious effort has been made to make this as expedicious as possible by both Dr. B and Port Huron Hospital.
Dr. Bhesaina was great along with his staff. I have a daugther having the surgery next month.I would give him great marks on everything listed to the right of this page.
The only negative thing I could say would be ,I have a long way to travel.
My first impression of Dr. Bhesania was extremely favorable and has not changed over time. His clinic staff is fantastic however his office staff could use an in-service on kindness/understanding. What I liked least about Dr. Bhesania was that he didn't offer a lot of information other than the very basics..... Any future patients of his should know that he really seems to care. He seems to be there for the aftercare also. He does have a structured aftercare. He didn't seem to think that the risk of lapband was greater than any other surgery. I would rate him overall as an excellent physician. Both, his competence and bedside manner are most appealing.
