"I was inpatient at a very busy time - and I had a horribly whiney roommate who seemed like she was also suicidal...luckily my surgeon agreed to let me go home the next day... so I only had one sleepless night :) In retrospect had he known WHY I wanted to go home so quick he would have gotten me a different room. But that's all right, I did just fine at home :) More comfortable = faster recovery...right?"
"I was really impressed the first time I met Dr. C. - he sat with a small group of us and gave us the \"overview information\" but then he met with us all individually. He really took the time to get to know us, our decision making process, and to insure that we understood the journey we were asking to embark upon. He answered all questions openly and honestly - he has a wonderful sense of humor, and a great bedside manner. He is a very professional, compassionate and caring doctor. Post surgically he was prompt in answering any questions and concerns in returned phone calls - even after hours! His staff is courteous and professional - not over friendly but they get things done and are careful to maintain privacy. Dr. Chengelis is great, he really put me at ease as this was my first surgery or time under any kind of anethesia ever. I knew I was in good hands and trusted he would take very good care of me. If I ever need any other kind of surgery - he will be my first call ! Thanks for changing my life Dr. C.!"
"Dr. Patel is an absolutely fabulous doctor. She understands the importance of LISTENING to her patients and really checking things out, and has excellent bedside manner. Very down to earth, respectful and fabulous in general!"
