Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center Hospital
Dr. Quilici is incredible. He performed surgery on me on 8/5 to remove my gallbladder, laproscopically. He will be performing my surgery and I couldn't be in better hands. I highly recommend him to anyone considering this surgery.
After researching and corresponding on the internet, today I had my second consultation with Dr. Quilici. He is a very charming, compassionate doctor. His office staff was very accommodating and congenial. He gave me a very large manual that covers everything literally from A-Z regarding bariatric surgery, from pre, during, and post. He informed me to read it entirely. Tomorrow I have an appointment with the psychiatrist. 7/27 is my appointment with the nutritionist. 7/30 I see him for tests and prep. And on 8/10 I have my surgery. (assuming...knock on wood..my insurance approves it, which he thinks they will)
Dr. Quilici did emphasize aftercare and the structured aftercare program. If I had to rate him overall on a scale from 1-10, I can say thusfar he gets a 9.
Both surgical competence and bedside manner are great. However, if I could only have one I would certainly choose surgical competence.
