Michael H. Wood
"Dr. Wood is an amazing surgeon and man. He has been behind me 100% and If it weren't for his "I know you can do it" attitude I would have never gone through with the surgery. I thank him for my life back everyday!"

Harper Hospital (Cori Center)
"Upon arriving we had a hard time parking but once we were inside the security people were nice. They walked us where I needed to go. When I got to pre-op the nurse was not understanding at all. As a matter of fact she basically said the she was against the WLS surgeries. That wasn't helping my nerves. Then the Anesthesiologist and his student came and seen me to put in my epidural. The student missed, just my luck I wasn't even sedated yet. Then I went into an anxiety attack and was wisked away to surgery, scared as hell. Once I was there I remember nothing. When I woke up in pre-op a nurse was repeatedly hitting the back of my head to wake me up. I guess I would stop breathing every time I fell asleep. In part I'm sure due to the anesthesia and my sleep apnea, but she didn't need to yell and hit me! I was then sent to my room. When I got there I had no-one around. I was still loopy and no nurse would talk to me to tell me everything was okay. They had told my family that it would be 3 hours before I went to my room and they could leave for a while, even though it was only 1 hour I had to wait. So when i got to my room I had no one! It sucked! I couldn't even use the TV because I was too weak to grab my phone to call and turn it on. The nurses were scarce to say the least. My epidural was put in wrong and they call for an emergency Dr. because my body went numb from my waist up. It was because the epidural was placed wrong. I did'nt let them re-do it. I used whatever they put in my IV for pain. On the third day my IV just fell out and no one ever replaced it. Needless to say I went home later that day. It was my B-day after all. Overall the hospital is incredibily high tech and I know the Doctor's are top notch. The staff I question! Having a floor to yourself is really nice."
