James Wagner
"Very calm, professional, knowledgeable and a good listener.rnrnHasn't changed so far.rnrnOffice staff seem a bit overworked and peckish.rnrnCan't say there was anything I didn't like.rnrnMake sure you have done your homework.rnrnVery emphatic about having adequate aftercare both by my Primary Care Physician and by Dr. Wagner himself.rnrnVery forthright about risks versus benefits.rnrnOverall - a very understanding man.rnrnI also had a second surgeon, a Dr. Aram Minasian. At pre-admission testing I was NOT impressed with this man AT ALL. Waited an hour to see him and saw him for all of 12 minutes, HOWEVER....once I saw him in the hospital he was COMPLETELY different. Very informative, relaxed, unhurried and willing to answer any and all questions and reassure me that I was doing fine.rnrnAs a TEAM, these two are AWESOME!"

"Dr. Awerbuch always takes the time to listen even when he's swamped and running behind."

"Lyn also has a Medical Assistant named Mary who works with her. Mary recently had WLS and is very supportive also."

"I had surgery on Tuesday and finally HAD TO ASK ON FRIDAY if I could have clean linens. It was the only time my bed was changed and I left on Sunday. No one came in to clean my room other than the trash. Was not told about the large shower area, was expected to shower in a very tiny stall in my room. Waited a minimum of an hour whenever pain med was requested, AND HAD THE MOST HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE WHILE HAVING MY CATHETER CHANGED BECAUSE IT WOULD ONLY DRAIN WHEN I STOOD UP. Which the second one had the same problem but I kept quiet about it."
