I'm so glad that I had my surgery at Magee! It's an amazing hospital that caters to their patients in every way. Not only was my surgery there, but my Dr. and his staff are all located there as well. It's wonderful. I recommend this hospital to anyone that is located in the Central/Western Pennsylvania area.
I can only say positive things about Dr. Courculous so far. She is a caring, compassionate Dr. She takes the time to answer all your questions and supplied information to you so that you didn't have to ask so many questions. The office staff is friendly..I mean there have been a couple who could be a little more pleasant, but I think you will have that no matter what Dr. you visit! Her after care program I don't know too much about. I am only one week out. Her surgical competence and her bedside manner were both excellent. I did have many things that I was not happy about with the hospital including the fact that I was never called the day before to even tell me what time the surgery was!!! I was on the phone until ten o'clock the night before to find out what time I had to be there the next morning. I, however, do not hold my Dr. accountable for that one. All in all, it was a good experience, and I am so thankful I had such a caring and skilled physician!!
I met Dr. Hamad in October for the first time. She is very pleasant and seems very easy to talk to. She was really honest with me and my Mom about the procedures and the possible outcomes of them both. I was really pleased and felt confident after our meeting. The staff at Magee's are really caring and patient. From the first person to the last person I had encountered that day they all seemed really sweet and helpful. I have contacted them a few times since this meeting, and they are very prompt and resourceful. I am very happy to have choosen the surgeon and facility I have.
What was your first impression of him/her?
That she is very confident, young, intelligent, way above expectations. Answered all my questions before they was specifically asked. Very Thorough and assuring to let my life be in her hands. I got a huge sense that she is a perfectionist-which I like and performs higher than others expectations. I think she is kind, and does not make her patients the next number on the chart.
How did your impression change over time? She takes pride in her work, of course and I have much respect for her and her staff.
How would you describe his/her office staff?So far they are helpful and courteous.
What did you like least about him/her? will update when needed
What should future patients know about him/her? Dr.C is the best choice
How much does he/she emphasize aftercare?Extremly!
Does he/she have a structured aftercare program? very much so
How did he/she address the risks of surgery? casually, personal as very caring yet direct, making sure I understood everything involved.
How would you rate him/her overall? will update
Which is better, surgical competence, bedside manner, or are both great? waiting surgery- will update afterwards. :)
nice and smaller than she looks on tv very fast but really seems like she cares
office staff is ok
not a lot of quality time but she is the best so its expected
i would rate her 8 it might go up as long as things continue to be going great
both are great
My surgeon is amazing! What an inspiration to women! I truely believe that I would not feel as good as I do if my surgeon wasn't as skilled as she is!
I liked her. I saw her on many commercials in my hometown.She was very patient, and answeredall my questions. Also she didn't waste any time giving me a date, so that was lovely.The overall program at Magee Women's hospital encompasses the care of women. The bariatric center there is great. I took my lifestyle classes there, (6mos) and also seen Nut and psych. All in one spot.All the testing and everything. I liked that it was very convenient and scheduled things all over a couple days,so I wouldn't have to miss too much work. Some of the office staff was kinda not to my liking. This is a serious situation. Me being a customer service rep, expects total and excellent care, because that is what I give others. When that doesn't happen, my feelings get hurt, and that makes me angry,not everyone on the staff, but about 3 out of 7, so......
Well, so far so good! I met Dr. C at the informational meeting back in 8/09 and then had my first appointment with her at the end of 10/09. She was really kind and very informative. That day, she was a bit rushed, but I had my questions for her and she answered all of them. She was really great about not pushing me into one surgery or another, bc i don't really have any health issues ASIDE from obesity. I'm looking forward to my surgery and I hope all goes well!
