David Coster
"My first impression of Dr. Coster was that he was all business. He was very nice. through with his explanation of the surgery, why he felt I was a good candidate. Today I see him again as someone who wants you to so as he says for your own good but is very supportive. His staff have been very supportive also. If I have a question I have gotten it answered quickly especially with insurance questions. As with many Dr.s he is busy, no chit chatting, moderate waiting the reception area. Due to this I would say know the questions you are going to ask him before hand so you can get them in during the visit. I think that the sftercare is good. He refers you for exercise evluation. So far no other nutrition therapy has been suggested. The risks of surgery were well discussed not only by him but the pre-surgical team I saw at the hospital. Dr. Costner has an excellent reputation as a surgeon. I agree with this assessment. He is very nice at the bedside but once again strict with his expectations after surgery. This is not bad. He sets goals for you that he expects you to achieve such as how much and how far to walk the day after surgery."
