I have been in the hospital many times, and have always felt that I was being taken care of, but at EMMC I felt like they were going beyond the normal and providing the extra care and attention that you don't always receive.
Dr. Toderis the BEST! She has a very straight-forward style balanced with support and compassion. I had to go back for an obstructed bowel just short of 4 weeks after my Gastric bypass. I was in excruciating pain and Dr. Toder showed up at my bedside. I was soooooo relieved she was on call that night. As soon as I saw her I knew I was in good hands and could let go of some of my scare. I trusted she'd take good care of me and, of course, she did.
I met with Dr. Toder for the first time on the 15th of March. She seemed very nice and friendly. I feel very comfortable knowing that she is the one who will be performing my surgery.
I liked Dr. Michelle Toder from the first time I met her. My impression has only grown greater for her over time. Her office staff is very friendly and helpful. There isn't anything I did not like about her or her staff. They should know how factful,helpful and supportive she is. She wants want is best for you before, during and after surgery. Eastern Maine Medical Center has a weight loss program that structures information, diet and total care and support after surgery. Dr. Toder was very truthful about the risks of surgery and what to expect and what could happen. I would rate her EXCELLENT. I would recomend her to anyone who is interested in surgery. I feel surgical competence is the most important, but Dr. Toder has that plus bedside manner. She was great.
I was very happy with my care at this hospital. I had no problems at all. The staff were all very nice.
My experience with Dr Toder was not a pleasant one to say the least. Dr Toder is one of the most insensitive, cruel, and judgemental people I have run into, and I think that makes for a rotten bariatric surgeon. She can not admit to her errors in judgement, and abandoned me after issues surfaced almost two years out.
I would not recommend her to my worst enemy. I am now forced into much more high risk surgery to correct her arrogance.
She has absolutely no sense of what it is like to be obese. She is rude, ill-tempered, and as far as I am concerned incompetent to even play the game of Operation. She was verbally abusive to me and that is not a pretty thing for a professional to be. She even refused to refer me to another surgeon for revision.
HIGHLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!
these statements are strictly my own opinions. I do, however, have the medical records and reports to prove everything I have stated.
She was fine right up to the point the problem arose, and then she could not get rid of me fast enough.
Dr. Toader is very knowledgeable and serious about her work. She takes the time you need to answer questions. I felt very comfortable with her. She checked in on me before and after surgery, which helped. She has a friendly personality as well. I would recom
mend her to anyone serious about WLS. Her program is structured and each of the staff members communicate closely....
Her staff is excellent and hats off to her nurse Mary who is a doll and always available for questions!
I have only had one meeting with Dr. Toder, but I liked her very much. She explained everything very clearly, including risks. She told me that she had two patients not make it. She gave me plenty of opportunity to ask my questions. The staff seemed very professional. Aftercare, as well as, pre education is imperative. I had appointment with dieticians, physical therapists and had to attend an informational meeting and support group meeting and have a psychological examination before I could have an appointment with the surgeon. With the letter stating that I had been approved by my insurance and telling me the date of my surgery dates for two follow up appointments had already been set.
