Lehigh Valley Health Network Hospital

He was very engaging. I took my list of 75 questions from the internet and he covered all 75. He did not hurry me and was willing to answer all of my questions. His office staff is a bit brusque, but maybe I hit them on a bad day. He is relatively new at preforming WLS and is a specialist in laproscopic abdominal surgery. He made me feel comfortable about the decision I have made. He feels aftercare is important , but does not have a set program. The hospital offers nutritional counseling post-operatively. He fully explained all the risks involved. He did not think this was a decision taken lightly or that I was trying to lose it the easy way. Overall, I will wait for my second impression. He was great with bedside manner, but I want to speak with a prior patient first. He has only done 5 of this lap Bypass operation. But, he has done other types of lap abdominal procedures. This is only my opinion and not meant to sway others in any direction.

Dr. Boorse came to see me and tended to my family on the day of the surgery. I saw one of his interns in the early morning daily followed by a personal visit from Dr. Boorse and another intern in the evening. I felt well cared for by him and his staff. He was so pleased at my recovery and subsequent 25 lb weight loss the first week. His staff have been wonderful since my first visit and took care of all the logistics.

I throught he was very caring.Answered any questions I had..He was a real person not a
phony who just yesed you to death..I felt very confortable with him and would recommend him to anyone.

I found the office staff very helpful and pleasant...

Aftercare will be discussed on my next visit.

He was up front about the pros and cons of the surgery....He made it sound like he believes I`ll come out of surgery ok...

I HOPE..PRAISE THE LORD...
On a scale of 1-10...A 10 1/2.....I don`t know the last question yet..not until after the surgery...
If it`s anything like his office matter..then he would get an excellent.....These of course are my own personal opion and not the staff of WSL..
