"Even though there was supposed to be a Bariatric unit, the staff/nurses never offered me a drop of water, or help in any way.
For meals I was fed full-sugar items -- even after requesting diet items.
I was also told to take a shower when I shouldn't have been allowed. Luckily, the surgeon's PA put a stop to it.
VERY POOR nurse and nutrition."
"Dr. Buras seems a bit mild mannered, but I was impressed with the facility and all the services pre- and post-op that they offer.
Dr Afram & Dr. Buras believe in "for life" aftercare.
You have to pay a (for me) substantial deposit up front.
But this covers every visit in the future.
You are never billed again for an office follow up.
He wants to see you every month for the first 6 months, then every 3 months the rest of the year, then every 6 months for ever.
(Others will probably find the amount easy to deal with, I just don't have it in savings, so it is harder.)
The have a nutritionist, therapist, private trainer all on staff. They also work with Life Coaches.
The front desk staff is very good.
Sally is very nice and ALWAYS remembers me and my sister.
Given how many patients they must have, I find that very impressive.
Mandy (the insurance specialist) totally rocks.
I got a denial letter in error (someone at the insurance company put the wrong federal ID number for the hospital in my records) and Mandy was all over them.
She doesn't take no for an answer!!!
