"Dr. Oliphant was very pleasant. He has a
reassuring voice and attitude. He made me
feel very comfortable and was willing to answer
any questions I had. He has really impressed
me w/the meetings. At the first one he attend
he came in and just wanted to listen to what
we had to say. He only spoke when he was asked
a question. You could tell he was listening
and was not just sitting there. He is a Trauma
Surgeon also, so he is very busy..but he found
the time to come up and listen to us. During that same
meeting we had samples of a protien drink that
his nutritionist brought in. There was about
30 of us in the meeting. The nutritionist poured
the drink and Dr. Oliphant came around and
passed out a cup of it to each and everyone one
of us. I don't ever remember a Dr. who waited on
me like that before. He made me feel like
he is no better than us just because he is our
surgeon. I have also been hearing people who
have had some problems w/certain staff members.
Dr.Oliphant took it into his own hands and
handled it himself. He seems to be a very
caring Dr. and I am soooooo glad that I have
chosen him. I did have one small problem w/my
first visit w/him. I only talked to him for 10
minutes. He did not make me feel rushed, but
for some reason there was nothing in my file
for him to go by. No diet history no letters
from my sleep apnea Dr. nothing. So it was
rather short, but it was not his fault."
