I'm in Tiverton RI, 1/2 mile from the MA border. :-) I had my surgery at Toby Hospital in Wareham. I'm in Plymouth. I was considering BID for my surgery, but they required me to go through 6 months of counseling, which I believe to be unnecessary in my case, so I'm thinking of Tobey. What has your experience with them been like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What has your experience with them been like? I chose Wareham Surgical Associates because they are a center for excellence with over ten years experience. They made all my appointments in a timely manner and did their best to fit them in my work schedule. They coordinated everything - I basically just had to show up where and when they told me. The education and support I received was exceptional. I never felt confused, frustrated, or neglected. I was leery of Toby Hospital at first (it's so small) but my experience there was pleasant - I was surprised and pleased with the attentive care I received while there. I would happily recommend it to anyone. :-) I have a friend who went through Roger Williams Medical Center for her surgery. She had to call and schedule all her own appointments, and she had little to no education or support. Her pre op journey took longer and was frustrating because she had to organize it all.
