HAPPY WITH DR. SPIEGEL !!!
Was not too impressed. Did not like his office.
Staff was ok, not overly open and friendly. He seems to be in it for the money, but seems to be experienced and that is what i am looking for. I chose him due to his experience and location.He sponsors a support group and aftercare is a must to be his patient. Does not play up risks very much. Have not decided about his beside manner yet. Will know more after surgery when i see alot more of him and his staff. will update impressions as i know more.
This was a wonderful experience. I was very afraid, but from the admission process to discharge I was very well taken care of. Dr. Mushin is an excellent surgeon and I highly recommend him. His staff was always checking with me post-op and he arranged for a great team of professionals to monitor my progress.
My first impression was that he seems to be very knowledgeable. His seminars are very informative. It is a group setting but you learn a lot from other people's questions. My consult was short but he did give me time to ask questions and truly understand the process. His staff is ok. I haven't seen anything spectacular yet.
I liked Dr. Spiegel (read more info in journey log) and Melissa, and his surgery assistant. They both have wonderful senses of humor, and are dry at times, but I love it (I watch BBC tv shows, that's all they are). Dr. Spiegel addressed everything from pre-surgery to complications/risks, to post-op care. Even if you are considering the surgery, go to one of his seminars. You will learn everything you need to know even if you haven't done any research. He has done over 3,500 operations, hasn't lost a patient.
