Methodist Hospital Arcadia Hospital
Everyone from the admitting people to the nurses were great. Everyone was very supportive and kind. The recovery room nurse was great but I didn't get her name I just remember her smiling face as she gave me more and more pain meds. Chris was my day nurse and she has had this surgery herself. She was fantastic and very informative. I have to say that everyone at Arcadia Methodist should be very proud of the service they provide, everyone was very professional.
I met Dr. LaMar the night before my consultation at the symposium his office conducts. After the meeting he was available to answer questions.
I found Dr. LaMar to be quite pleasant and honest. The next day, at my consultation, he went over a few of the things discussed the previous night to make sure I understood everything and had no further questions.
His staff are wonderful and quite pleasant to deal with, helpful and non-judgemental.
He encourages his patients to call with any and all questions before and after the surgery. The nutrionist we were referred to is quite knowledgable and helpful.
The 5 phase program conservative compared to other programs, but is easy to follow and uncomplicated.
Dr. LaMar is extremely compentent and has a great bedside manner. I highly recommend him.
I meant him the first time at a seminar and was very impressed with him. He requires you go to his seminar before making an appointment. When I went to his office I liked everyone and they all seemed very helpful. The thing that surprised me most was the long delay after I saw the psychologist. It took over a month after I saw him to get a date for surgery. I guess I was being very unrealistic thinking it would move along so quickly. I was pleased that when I got my surgery date it was only about 6 weeks off. He does encourage you to go to the support groups before and after the surgery. Thankfully there is one not to far from my home. He told me about the risks, but said they were minimal but risks just the same. Overall at this point I am very pleased. My surgery is in 10 days ask me again after.
I have never met Dr. LaMar, but I was impressed by him at the seminar I attended at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Arcadia. The testimonies that were given by Dr. LaMars patient was more then enough for me. I want him to do my surgery along with Dr. Pherson.
I thougt he seemed cool. He feels genuine, and of course he's from scony (wisconsin),so that's cool. He gave me the basics of how the surgery will work etc. and was encouraging of my future and surgery. The staff is very nice and Nicole has been great. She really was helpful. She was a very fun person and I think we spent more time gabbing then discussing the surgery, but it was all relative. I'll let ya know more after surgery. I want to add that I think he did the most clean & perfect job on my insicions, they are so small & neat!
I felt some of the office workers are a little short w/people, as if we are wasting their time. But is that not there job, they need to SMILE :)!!
Very tall was my first impression. He did a great job explaining ever aspect about pre and post surgury. He answered most of my questions before I had a chance to ask them. He is very professional and emphasized pre and post care. So far I would rate him an A.
Dr. LaMar was very friendly and informative. His office staff was helpful and kind. I was impressed by all of them.
Dr. Troy Lamar is an excellent surgeon. He is very skilled in his field and has a great bedside manner. He is superman!!!
