the place was nice, but I foundd my IV mashine was broken and wouldn't stop going off. I couldn't sleep well but i blame that ong myself. over all the place was nice.
05/26/2006rnToday I just had my first consult with Dr. Pohl. I find he has a little bit of a sense of humor. I like that. I found him to be very direct and informative. I am looking forward to be working with him. rnrnrn
The surgery staff were great but the nurses who were supposed to be taking care of me were horrible. I felt neglected, I had to keep reminding them that I was there, they were rude...they let my roomate's young teenage grand daughter and her boyfriend stay till way after visiting hours , I had no privacy at all and I was not able to sleep, it was absolute hell and I left early.
My Doctor is so sweet to me. I couldn't believe how therow he was. every test, every, meeting, every phone call. I have been in this prosess for almost 3 years. rnrnit was 11th grade when my mother first said. \"Jessica we have to do something about this honey or it will be too late.\" too late rang in my ears. I then went on line and looked up WLS. i found so much info i was scared. there was words i didn't know at all. but going into the manditory seminar in november at Roger Willums I became scareder still. i was the only 17 year old sitting and trying to make sence of all of it. in fact i was the only one under 30 there. I'm legeally blin d and have many learning problems. but i sat back for two hours and listened then I asked many questions. Pohl seemed to understand my difficulty and afterwood he said. \"How about I explain all this at our appointment. so you understand better?\" I smiled and mom spook with him. Dad wheeled around in him wheelchair and talked with many other people. rnrnWhen I finally had my first appointment with him in march. i had turned 18 in febuary and glad to have a great deal of testing done. Pohl spent time explaining that i was better off with the LAP-BANDing. so he gave me a website to look it up and learn more and said we'd make a choice next time. rnrnI agreed on the BANDing. but Pohl has been great to me. now i'm hoping to every star in the sky that he'll take good care of me turday oct 17!rnrn
When I had my band & gallbladder I was on 4 West and they were the best, they knew how to handle WLS patients. When I had my revision to RNY I was on 2E because 4W was full and they didn't know what to do with me. There were 3 of us on the floor who had surgery the same day 2 bands & 1 RNY. They delivered food to us, would wait for meds, tried to bring me pills that I had allergies to, and I was dry heaving and vomitting for 24 hours and they didn't think it was an issue. Dr. Pohl took care of that right away when he found out - I was having issues with the morphine. The OR staff are wonderful and they are all very patient and kind. This was my 4th surgery there and my husband had 1 surgery there and everytime they were great.
Unfortunately my October 2008 stay there was rather poor, had it been my first time not sure if I would have gone back there - hoping it was just that due to overbooking of rooms they had to place me where the staff aren't used to handling WLS issues.
Quiet man with a subtle sense of humor who makes you feel comfortable. Willing to answer questions. Information packet is extremely detailed about process. Lots of tests as part of his protocol to ensure successful procedure for you and him.
Dr. Pohl Rocks.. he is great.. He is straight forward about WLS and what you need to do and why. Has a good support group that all are encouraged to attend. He also encourages you to follow up with your dietician. I found Dr Pohl to be very knowledgable and he has good bedside manners.
The staff was great.. from Nuring assistants to the Nurses who cared for me..and all the supporting staff. They were A1 and I can't rave enough about my care.
'Dr. Pohl and his staff are wonderful. They are a well oiled organization and extremely professional. The only bad thing is sometimes they run a little late
My first meeting with Dr Pohl was at his mandatory weightlose meeting at Roger Williams Hospital. He stayed there for over and hour answering everyone Questions.rnMy impression of Dr Pohl and his staff always has been that he cares about his patients.rnI never felt rushed by him or Jeremy.rnHe always listen to what you have to say.rnI sure he has heard the same questions over and over by all his patient but he seemed to be put off by my questions.
