Surgeon Testimonial

Michael Green, Jr. M.D.
Dr. Green seems like a good surgeon, and everyone seems to have nothing but positive things to say about him. He has answered all of my questions regarding the surgeon and seems very competent.

I do, however, think he has some staff and scheduling issues that need to be handled. Appointments book sometimes over 6 months in advance for routine consultations (read: if you're a new patient, you may have to wait a really, really long time to start the surgery process). Once you do start the process, communication with his staff seems somewhat difficult at times -- it's almost as his staff is stretched too thin to handle the number of patients.

Anyway, staff issues aside, he does have an aftercare program setup and he does emphasize it. He addresses the risks of surgery numerous times. I haven't had the surgery yet, so I don't have many comments on his bedside manner. I'll update after I have the surgery.

Disbelief
posted on 6/21/08 6:36 am
So....my first blog post-y thing. So, I was thing all last night about how unreal this whole process is. I tend to be a little bit pessimistic about things, a glass half-empty type person, at least most of the time (old engineer's joke - the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. don't everyone laugh at once...). It seems weird that everything IS working out, and that I haven't had any issues yet in the pre-op process. I'm having issues losing the pre-op weight, but it's my issue, not an issue with someone else involved. It's actually an amazing thing, really. Perhaps I should adopt a more positive outlook on things.
