Dr called personally



Recommended Posts

My doc never called me before surgery but she came to visit me the day after surgery.

Why did your doc call you ?

Dr. Rumbaut called me when I was first inquiring about the surgery to tell me about it and answer any questions about it. He said then and now that I'm banded that I can call with any questions. I know from my friends that he calls personally with responses to questions. But that's why I think I went to the most wonderful man in the business!! (nobody take offense....I'm just a little biased!)

My doctor, who is banding me next week, I found him on Cleveland Clinics website. I got his e-mail address, and has always responded the same day when I ask a question. Sometimes within minutes. I have enjoyed the whole process with Cleveland Clinic Weston, they've all been really nice.

Hey out of curiousity how many people have had drs call them at home before surgery?

I work in the Dental field and Drs are often trained in continuing ed that if they call personally for "bigger" procedures , the patient is less likely to fail their appt.

All my surgeons patients have his cell number to call him anytime after surgery

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
