"The hospital was great and so was MOST of the staff but their were a few that were not as pleasant (you'll find that everywhere I guess.) Overall, they did wonderfully."

Vivek Prachand

"What was your first impression of him/her? rnHe was very caring and thoroughly examined and explained my options. He did not push or pull toward one procedure over the other but he RECOMMENDED gastric bypass...he taylors it to your needs, abilities, and health status at the time of consultation.rnrnHow did your impression change over time? rnIt hasn't thus far...rnrnHow would you describe his/her office staff?rnJune Spight is THE BEST! Actually, everyone is really sweet but I've worked more closely with June throughout my process.rn rnWhat did you like least about him/her? rnWhat didn't I like? What does that even mean...rn:)rnrnrnHow much does he/she emphasize aftercare? rnEmpahsize on aftercare is crucial and they stress it often and repetitively so that we are able to understand how important follow the directions of your surgeon and staff are.rnrnDoes he/she have a structured aftercare program? rnHow did he/she address the risks of surgery? rnThe staff makes sure you are well aware of the benefits and the risks via classes, support groups (if you are able to attend), online videos and information, and face-to-face consultations and videos. They also make you go to myemmi.com to watch a movie about the procedure.rnrnHow would you rate him/her overall? rnOut of a highest possible 10 and a lowest possible 0, I rate him a perfect TEN pre-op..rnrnWhich is better, surgical competence, bedside manner, or are both great? rn"
