"My overall rating of Lakepoint Medical is excellent. The facility is equipped to accommodate obesity patients. The staff are wonderful. They are trained to work with us and our out of the ordinary problems. "
"Well I finally picked a new surgeon. He doesn't do the by-pass, but according to Dr. Bryce his procedure is safer. I don't know what to think any more. Every surgeon I've spoke with says his is the best and safest, who knows...
I went to his seminar and was very impressed, but one better than that was "my husband was impressed" and that's going some. Dr. Bryce is very straight forward and doesn't try to minimize the risks (I like that). He appears extremely competent.
During the seminar, he touched on aftercare, but didn't dwell on it. So the next time we meet I'll want to question him more. I've been working with a dietitian for the past year and I plan on continuing throughout the next year or two so I'm not going to push the aftercare issue. Am I wrong?
I had my initial consultation, but basically he came in and introduced himself asked if I had any questions, looked over my chart and said I'd be a good candidate and left, but in his defense he had an emergency at he hospital and was running late. He had an entire waiting room full of people when he arrived.
The office staff is extremely friendly and helpful, but from time to time it's hard to get a hold of them over the phone (I'm sure after surgery patients would be a priority and would get the necessary promptness they need.
Schell is wonderful, but again she's so busy sometimes it's hard to get a hold of her.
I received my approval letter on Saturday and when I arrived at work Monday morning there was a voicemail message from Schell waiting for me (can't get much quicker that). I'm still doing my little HAPPY DANCE!!!!
