"My first impression of Dr Katsis, He was knowledgable, Was highly recommended, and a trauma surgeon, I figured if he was a great trauma surgeon then He would be good for me since I knew I was going to have a lot of scar tissue from the old stapling done in 1981.
After surgery I would like for him to have spent a little more time with me, with more explaination of all that went on.
the Office staff has always been cordial, and his nurse Jana is very sweet and kind.
The thing that I liked least about him was that he wasn't there as much as I would have liked him to be following surgery to answer questions, But on the other hand, I understand he is a very busy dr and since I was not having any complications it was not necessary to be there as much. He did go over the needs post surgical, the office has aftercare meetings twice a month and patients are incouraged to call the office with any changes or problems.
Dr Katsis was frank and to the point, He understood that I knew death was a risk factor with this surgery, as it is with any surgery. Over all I would say that he is a VERY good surgeon and would and have recommended him to others. He is competent, and has a good bedside manner."
"I would like to thank a wonderful nurse that finally heard my woes about the hospital bed, On Wed. evening the 19th of November, My nurse (dont remember her name) came in and ask if there was anything that I needed, When I again said that a softer bed would be nice she immediatly came to my rescue, brought in a bed with air pumped into it and since I had not been using the morphine pump since Tues, she removed the I.V.'s and brought me a Pain pill broken into small pieces, Once this was done she turned out all the lights and I slept like a baby until 1am when it was time for vitals, It was great, and I Thank her so much for being there. She made a difference in my world for that one night. Thank you again my angel of mercy. Sue "
