Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital
"Wonderfully modern and comfortable. Accomadating to my needs and my familys needs. "

Thadeus Trus
"Dr. Trus was very helpful, conscise and attentive. He made sure I understood everything that was going to happen and how it would happen and who would do it. He came to see me every day after the surgery while I was in the hospital. He came in right before the surgery and explained everything again--which I needed b/c I was nervouse. Also, my husband and in-laws were there and I know that it put their minds at ease to hear him speak about the surgery. My Mother-in-law spoke highly of him after only meeting him once. And she should know doctors since she has had many hospital stays and many doctors. HIs office staff was winderful--visiting me in my rom aftwerwards as well. I have also called them several times since I have been home to ask questions and each time they are attentive and kind. They never act as if I am bothering them. The only negative about Dr. Trus' practice is that he only does gatric bypasses on Wednesdays. He keeps other days open for other surgeries he performs. (Which of course is his perogative) But it means a long wait when you have jumped thorugh all their hoops and FINALLY get a surgery date and find out it is 3 months out. He gets booked far in advance. I found myself eating like crazy for those three months because I was hearing the clock tick until the surgery. I ended up gaining 10 pounds----ugh. But all that gaining is now behind me:-) He spoke very plainly and openly about the risks of the surgery but also told me whether it was something that pertained more to me than to other and vice versa. But he also made sure I understood all the risks. I would rate Dr. Trus very highly as a wonderful doctor with a very supportive and structured team that takes very good care of thier patients. His bed-side manner and surgical competence were both great. I reccommend him."
