"There were not enough nurses to provide good patient care. My first concious experience was in recovery and there were two nurses and about 6 patients. I was left alone and had a violent reaction to the anesthetic. I did manage to attract their attention by vomiting all over the floor, Which with this surgery your not supposed to do. The patient floors were not much better. I was not offerred a bed bath or sponge bath until I insisted I get cleaned up on the 2nd day. I was finally allowed to get a shower on day 3. There was no am or pm care provided. I had to call the nurse to get a cup of water to brush my teeth. I was NOT impressed. The nurses were nice & polite and provided me with adequate medicine's and IV solutions, but that was about all they did. "

"My first & only impression was he was very young, professional, practical & blunt. Like most surgeon's, he did not present any warm fuzzies. His staff are very professional and well informed. They communicate well with the patients and gave pertinent advice on what to expect. His office nurse is a little harried, but she is very pleasant to talk with and very knowledgable about Morbid Obesity. Dr Provost was very explicit about after-care. He described his particular methodology was once a month for the first year, 3 months the 2nd year, bi-annual for 3 years and then every year after that, for life. He told me his staff would provide a list of support groups to join in my area and he expects to know which one I join and wanted to hear my first report on the value of this group with my first after surgery appointment. So I would say after-care is a priority with this group. Which is very reassuring. My surgery is 4/4/05 so I won't be able to give a complet rating until after that. At this point I would recommend this physician and his staff. "
