Dr. Quilici and his staff are absolutely wonderful and extremely informative. At first, I met with his Nutritionist Julie. She was great! Then I had the opportunity of meeting with him. He too was wonderful, courteous and a delight to speak to.
Dr Quilici and his staff have the process of bariatric surgery down to a fine art. Julie, his nutritionist, makes sure you know all the ins-and-outs of pre and post op care; there is a psychologist to do the evals; he has experts to take care of the insurance company and all of them manage this efficently while being sensitive, caring and friendly. Dr Quilici himself is very efficient (which can appear a little abrupt) but will answer questions and put you at your ease. He has a great reputation, is an expert at lap RNY and is a stickler for aftercare. His associate, Dr Tovar, is lovely. The only negative is that he is so busy, actually getting to see him is a chore.
I was very comfortable with Dr. Quilici. He explains everything. His office has a system that keeps all patients well aware of everything, especially in writing... in the notebook that they provide. Aftercare is definitely emphasized before the surgery, but it does seem like they really don't care after too much... ie no follow up calls, you are on your own. But, my own internist close to home keeps me monitored, so I do not worry. He is a little naracasistc when it comes to bedside manner, but I believe that he has every right to be because he is THAT GOOD!!!!
I was very impressed by Dr. Quilici. He is very knowledgable in his field. His office staff have always answered my questions to the best of their ability. I only wish one thing, that I didn't have to wait so long at my appts. But I shouldn't be so picky. Also, Dr. Tovar (Dr. Q's assistant) is just as wonderful.
I really liked Dr. Quilici even though he is very to the point and didn't make much small talk. He is kind and put my mind at ease. His program is very structured and he gives you all the tools you need to be successful.
only problem I had was i had headaches and they didn't have anything to give me other than the pain meds. used for the surgery. I wished they had had some sort of liquid tylenol because sometimes it was just the headache and not any other pain.
St Joe was a very clean, friendly and outstanding hospital. If I needed anything they were right there to help. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hospital.
