Fills-Cobourn patients

swanny · October 19, 2006

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if Dr. Cobourn does your fills himself or if the nurse does?

Also do you know the names of the nurses that work there? They are so nice and I don't even know their names.

Who do you ask for, if you call in with a question? I know the girls that usually answer the phones are on the other side( not at the unmarked door:) ).

Thanks for the help!

I had Dr. Cobourn do my fill once, my first one. After that, it was Marie (if you know who she is, cause she's gone now) and a nurse she was training... Tammy. Tammy was pretty young, maybe mid-late 20's, brownish hair, kind of a bob-type haircut.

He's so busy now, but I'm sure he does still do fills when he's available. I'm sure if you were to request him to do it, they'd arrange it. You could say you just wanted to see him, and check-in or whatever.

When I called, I would ask for Marie, but I haven't called since she's left. I would just ask to speak to one of Dr. Cobourn's nurses (or Dr. Mumfords).. until you finally get a name. Oh.. I emailed the clinic to update them with my weight last week, and the lady who responded was named Sue. So there's a couple names you could drop, Tammy and Sue.

Here's a copy of a section of an update email I got from the clinic:

We have hired two new Clinical Nurse Specialists to join our team. Tammy Mitchell comes to us having completed the OR nursing course after a number of years of previous clinical experience in patient care. She will provide clinical support in the pre and post operative patient counselling as well as support in the Operating Room. Susan Duncan joins us with a wide variety of clinical experience including her most recent position caring for morbidly obese patients in a private weight loss clinic. Susan’s primary role will be in patient preparation and counselling as well. We are excited to welcome both Susan and Tammy and are confident they will bring their own unique skills to the program. Tammy and Susan can be contacted by email at nurses@lapband.ca, or by phone or fax. Rose will resume her role as the lead Patient care Coordinator at the clinic. (rose@theplasticsurgeryclinic.com)

Rose was also very nice everytime I talked to her on the phone.

Isn't that weird, the 'unmarked door' down the hall that you have to be escorted to?! I can't wait til they move to their new place. It's gonna be SO much better for them, and their 'appearance'.
