"My first impressionrn Dr. Sweeney seems to be a very conscientious, careful surgeon. I feel confident that he can help me. For the first time (in a doctor's office), I didn't feel condemned... or judged... I felt like he truly wanted to help me get better. rnOffice staffrn The staff has been really great. Of course, they're busy but my needs get met.rnFor future patients...rn Dr. Sweeney doesn't mess around. If you aren't going to be compliant before the surgery, he will not operate on you. He and his staff are committed to making sure folks understand that this is a lifetime committment.rn They're all about aftercare. The program is frontloaded with tons of material to make sure you know what life will be like afterwards. rn The program is extremely comprehensive with dieticians and tons of helps along the way. It is a lifetime program. rn Dr. Sweeney details all of the risks of the surgery and these risks are reiterated several times throughout the course of the pre-surgical program. rnRating? Out of 5 stars, I'd give him 10!rnHis bedside manner is fantastic. Like i said, I have never felt so \"unjudged\". We'll see about surgical competence... 02.26.2007... but, I have faith in him. rnrn"
