Portsmouth Regional Hospital Hospital

if you want to be well taken care of and to have your voice heard as a patient, Portsmouth is where you should go.

Dr. Gens has been WONDERFUL! The surgery went great and he is a great person to talk to. VERY informative and was the only one that gave me his professional opinion as to which surgery (RNY or Lap) he thought would be better for me. VERY easy to talk to either, makes you feel comfortable and it doesn't feel like he is talking above you.

I would highly recommend this hospital.

I would recommend Portsmouth Regional Hospital to anyone for any type of surgery not just bariatric.

I met her at one of the information nights, and I knew right then I wanted her to be my surgeon. She explained everything clearly. The thing I liked about her the most is, she genuinely cares!! She understands what the surgery can do for people who have been struggling. rnThe program at Portsmouth Hospital is great. They have plenty of meetings and support groups. rnrnDr. Paciulli is a wonderfull person!!

I have a wonderful Doctor (Dr. Gens)- he is understanding and very easy to talk with.rnI'm looking forward to surgery and the great success that we will share together in the next 5 years and the journey ahead.

When I first met Dr. Gens I knew that he was the one for me. He seemed like a very caring person. Which it turned out that I was right. He really cares about his patients. He even suggests that you call him at home after your surgery if you have any questions in the evening or weekends. That is unheard of today. My husband went with me to meet him and was also very impressed with him. rnI had a complication in the hospital and two days later had to go back in surgery. He was right there to take me back into surgery. Telling my family that he wanted to make sure all was right that he wouldn't sleep unless he knew everything was okay with me. Plus he was on vacation that week and stayed around home and said if I needed him he would be there. His whole team of Drs. are the best. Plus Nancy the Baratric Coordinator is the best. She was always there for me. If I ever was to do this over again I would seek out Dr. Gens. In my opinion he and his team of surgeons are the BEST. Thank You Dr. Gens. You gave me back my life.

I had the most amazing team of Drs. They took such good care of me. I had to go back in for a second surgery 2 days after the first one and they told my husband that they wanted to be safe and check me out and if they found nothing they would at least sleep better that night knowing I was okay. Dr. Gens was on vacation that week and stayed at his house so if he was needed he could be there for me in a matter of moments. That made my family and myself feel good. I would reccomend this team of Drs. to everyone. I also had a great experience with all of my nurses. They were there holding my hand and comforting me if I needed anything even in the middle of the night. Just to sit and talk to ease my mind. I was so afraid but they made me so at ease.

I like and trust Dr. Looser very much, and have only heard wonderful things about him from people who have had the same procedure done. My surgery is a month away, and I feel very confident that I'm in good hands. The program at Portsmouth Hospital has been very supportive and comprehensive to this point.
