my first impression is that he was so young, but as we talked he has done over 300 of these just last year and only had 2 that died due to blood clots and lack of following orders. His staff was very nice and did what ever it took to help me feel confident. He was very good at sitting with me and my husband and going over all the pro's and con's and the risks of this surgery. Due to my history of blood clots he took only the highest precautions before.
I truley loved Dr. Murr from the moment I met him.
His office staff is usually helpful, although they dont always return calls very quickly.
Dr. Murr came into the room after my husband and I spoke with his fellow Dr. Rodriguez (or was it Fernandez) anyway they were both great. Dr. Murr answered all of our questions, especially those related to risk. He has great eye contact, and seemed surprised that my initial contact with his office had been over 3 years prior to my actually seeing him.
2-15-05 Now that my surgery is over I must say I am still impressed with Dr. Murr, prior to surgery he went and looked my husband in the eye and told him the expected wait times so he wouldn't panic in the waiting room - he later had me sent to ICU just to make sure I was got real good care for the 1st 24 hours after surgery. Dr. Murr made his own rounds and I saw him twice while still in the hospital. I was also followed up very carefully by his fellow and several of the GI Residents of the University of South Florida who Dr. Murr is affiliated with.
At my f/up appt I saw his PA, Jose - who is awesome! He answered every question I had, and then some.
WOW!!!! is all I can say. He was the nicest doctor I have ever met. He made me feel so comfortable and he seems to really care about his patients. He even recommended some primary care doctors to me. I would definetely refer him to anyone. He's AWESOME!!!!!! The staff was great from greeter to dietician they were wonderful I love them.
Dr Murr is a GREAT Dr, I have nothing but praise for him. He seems to really care about each patient. I am very happy with my results. I would do it all again in a heartbeat...
8/16 I finally met Dr. Murr and his staff. He is exactly what people described. Very upfront and honest, answers all questions, is nice and professional. Very capable. He has been practicing medicine in the US for nearly 18 years, so I would say that's a good sign. Not only was he direct with me, he answered all of my boyfriend's questions and was sure to include him in the conversation. I liked that a lot.
You cannot go wrong with Dr. Murr. You are dealing with the best when you choose him!
1/18 - After all the medical complications that happened after surgery, I have to say that Dr. Murr and the rest of the surgery team were right there for me. He took the time out to see me several times in the hospital and he and his staff took great care of me!
Dr. Dietrick has been the most helpful surgeon/doctor that I have ever met. He is extremely forthcoming with information and really takes the time to understand your sitaution rather than assuming that all patients are the same. His office, "Wish Center" out of Tampa was very comfortable. What I mean by this: the seats were larger, the tables longer, the bathroom is designed for plus size individuals. The entire staff is so great and most have been through the prodedure. During your first consultation, you meet with several indivduals, all in an attempt to judge where you are at in life. All this allows them to create goals that you must meet prior to your pre-op appointment. And believe me, they will go through every single piece of paperwork looking for something that isnt complete. This scruitiny allows them the ability to judge how dedicated you are to the process and after life. I wouldnt hesitate to recommed him to anyone thinking about taking that next step. Although I felt as if the Insurance coordinator dropped the ball in an effort to get my paperwork present timely and my pre-op appointment was rescheduled 2 times (which was emotionally upsetting, waiting by the phone for "that phone call"), I was approved within 2 months and now everything is happening so fast! I would certainly rate him and his staff an 11 on the scale of 1-10.
Doctor Dietrick is a very serious man. He takes the WLS very serious.
No
The staff was very helpful and professional.
I needed my surgery dated pushed up and he said NO because he didnt think I was ready, I really respect that.
Do like he says or you will have to find another surgeon.
No that much, he could do a little more.
He explained everything.
9+
surgical competence, no bedside manner
When I met Dr Murr for the first time (9/27/04), it was for my surgical consultation. After he reviewed my file, he said he would do a laparoscopic RNY. Dr Murr seems very confident.
Dr Murr's staff always returns your calls. They never make you feel like you are bothering them with your questions and updates.
Dr Murr requires a lot of testing and clinical work-up, which I think will be the reason for the best outcome. Everything from medical history, EKG, psychological evaluation, nutritionist teaching, etc. Because of all of these steps, they make sure you know this is what you want and you will be successful.
