Mills-Peninsula Health Services Hospital

I was there 2 days and I would say most everything went good. The majority of the staff was great. Karen was excellent. I did have a problem with 1 nurse, but its not the hospitals fault, I had a hard time trying to get her to change my sheets after the second day, and she was rude about it. Plus she did not want to give me my medicine crushed in applesauce.
But this was a very good hospital and I was happy with everything else. I would stay here again, if needed.

No matter what I needed or the time I wanted it, everyone was quick to respond. Very nice, I was given a private room with a private bath and shower. Loved the staff

I have always been taken care of by the staff and they have been very welcoming of my huge family! Dr. Sanchez, you are the best!

First impression was that he was very caring and wanted to make sure my husband and I understood the principles behind weight loss and the RNY procedure. He is a no-nonsense guy and expects you to follow his instructions. Office staff is nice and knowledgeable. There was an initial mix-up regarding which insurance company would be responsible (mine or my husband's ) and that delayed things 3 months. I had to change my medical group to the one Dr. Wetter was in so that I could use him under my HealthNet HMO and not my husband's Blue Cross PPO (you first must use your primary insurance). After care was emphasized pretty well, especially through the hospital staff and nutritionists. Risks were identified, but I knew them mostly from research done by myself on the internet. I would rate Dr. Wetter as 10/10 both as a surgeon and physician. Both surgical competence and bedside manner are the best! I highly recommend him.

I absolutely cherish my surgeon. She is clear and firm -- which is exactly what I need!

When I first met Dr.Foster I wasn't sure which surgery to have.She was very sensitive to me and also very professional.I went back several times before decided on the band.Shernis very firm in her WLS and expects her patients to be too.She was always very helpful and available prior,through and after surgery.rnI can't say enough about her staff.Yvette is a doll.She has been so helpful and supportive to me.I look foward to my office visits.rnI think future patients should be as informed as they can be on the surgery and what to expect.Then discuss with your doctor all they expect.rnI have to say Dr.Foster overall was best in all aspects- surgical competence, bedside manner, and real care and concern for you thernperson.

Dr. Foster is very intelligent, caring, strong, funny, and attractive. She will not take any B.S. and that is great with me. She wants only patients she believes will be successful. She has an excellent staff. She goes overall the benefits and risks of surgery with great detail. I look forward to having a strong relationship and her support as I know this will be one of the most important decisions of my life.

rnMy first impression of Dr. Wetter was he seemed very confident in what he does and had done many lapriscopic RNY procedures. He is to the point and no non-sence kinda guy. Not warm and fuzzy at all. I prefer competence and experiance over warm and fuzzy anyway. He told me to think of quality of quanity when it came to food. Saver a small piece fo chocolate because the first bite is always the best, the second confirms the first and then it will not taste as good as the 1st and 2nd bite. Not much of an aftercare program. I am also out of the area and cannot go to the support group meetings in Burlingame. I have found my own support group where I live and have met many other post -ops that have been very helpful to me. So far I am very happy with Dr. Wetter and I would give him very high ratings. I am saying this 2 weeks post-op

Dr. Foster left a great first impression on me. She was very detailed in taking my history, considering if I was a candidate, discussing my options and then telling me what to expect. rnrnHer staff is also amazing (truly). They are all very personable. But I do find that the office usually runs behind on appts.rnrnDr. Foster provides you information about the support group (through the hospital), and after care.rnrnDr. Foster was recommended by several of my co-workers and I too recommend her as well.

I feel that this hospitals program allows them to provide the best care for our type of surgery. Great experience.
