Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center Hospital

My first impression of him was that he very professional and busy. No my impression of him did not change. His office staff is great and very knowledgeable. Very competent office staff and very approachable. They offer answers when you have questions. I have nothing negative to say about him. Future patients should know that he does not spend much time with a patient unless you require such time. He emphasizes aftercare frequently. Requires monthly checkups after surgery and testing. Yes he does have a structured aftercare program. He gives us the tools it is our choice to work through it. We were educated thoroughly regarding risk and complications. I recommend him and his associates at his practice. I believe that surgical competence is better. I trusted him with my life.

Dr. Quilici has a great reputation. I felt very comfortable in his care. However, I was surprised to be placed on a saline/glucose IV went checking in for surgery which lead to ketoacidosis 48 hours after surgery. Dr. Quilici seemed stumped by the reaction my body had to the physical trauma of surgery and the saline/glucose drip. He's still unsure of why I am using so much insulin two weeks post op. He has a very structured program and is very concerned about aftercare.

Seemed younger looking at first.
Did research and found he had been doing this for a long time.
Very friendly.
I liked everything about him.
He's very capable and has lots of connections.
He emphasizes aftercare very empatically.
Yes.
Yes.
I'd give him a solid 10
Both help a lot.

good doctor.

Everyone on the floor from the head nurse down to the cleaning crew where polite, helpful, caring, and supportive. I recommend Providence St. Josephs hospital to everyone I know that is having gastric bypass surgery.

Be very prepared on your first visit to Dr. Q. I was there for 4 hours! Bring a good book or a video game. He seems very kind and knowledgable. I feel comfortable that he is my surgeon.

The floor was almost all bariatric patients. The staff was very knowledgeable with the exception of one obnoxious nurse's aide.

My first impression was very good, I immediately felt comfortable with him. His office staff is very nice, but it is sometimes hard to get thru to the dietician in the office, due to the high number of patients the office serves. I only saw one of his associates, but she was awesome both in the hospital and in the office after my surgery. Dr. Quilici emphasizes aftercare a lot and strongly encourages exercise and support groups. The office gives you a booklet that explains the procedure the risks and even his complication rates for all of his surgeries. I would strongly recommend this surgeon to anyone who is considering bariatric surgery!rnIn my opinion his surgical competence and bedside manner are both great!
