Have not seen her yet. Will update soon.

Dr. Choban was everything I expected, she was because of what I have read and the chats I have had with some of her past and present patients. Very helpful tool.
Well the building itself was impressive, staff even more so.. very personable.
There was nothing I didn't like!!
pay attention, because she is full of information and not affaid to share or answer any question because there is no stupid question..Who knows maybe you can be the one person to ask her a question she's not heard yet :)
After care, a must, a must walk, walk, walk. Do what you are suppose to do and "don't be a cry baby" about it if you want to succeed( my opinion the Dr. did not say this) But to me this is the bottom line she can do the surgery and do it well to hear tell, but we have to do the rest. She gave us the tool to do what we sat out to do the rest is up to us.( No I haven't had this but I have had other surgeries )And I did recover much faster when I did what I was told no matter how painful, So I hope to do the same I don't expect any less from myself.
The risk factor was a no holds bar..everything laid out on the table. You would have to be a fool if you don't think there is a risk in this or any surgery.
From a scale of 116 wich is what I have to lose, 116 being the highest score (116 10x fold)
In my opinion surgical competence! Who cares if the surgeon has some what of a not so nice bedside manner. It would be nice but face it we live in a not so perfect world so why should we expect them to be "perfect" As long as they know what they are doing when they have my body big or samll under the knife..
Changed Dr.'s I have an appt. with Dr. John M.Huse Feb. 17, 2004 wish me luck....^_~"
