"Dr. Cha (now at MetroHealth in Cleveland, OH) is very approachable, and very kind. He explainded things very well but didn't dumb anything down. He addressed all of the risks and he really emphasized that this surgery is not a cure. He made sure I understood that I have a lot to do with the outcome and that I need to work hard following the post-op instructions to the letter or things will not go well. As a nurse, I know he is surgically competent and as a patient, I like his bedside manner. rnrnMy surgery went great and Dr. Cha was wonderful! I have nothing but good things to say about him. The other surgeon that worked with him was Dr. Claridge and he was wonderful as well! I had a great team!!"
"Metro is an excellent hospital. It is a level 1 trauma center and has many excellent doctors, nurses and other staff. They are doing more lap RNY's and may begin doing the lap band as well. No hospital is perfect and people must be prepared to ask questions and be their own advocate. My overall experience was very good."
