Carl Nohr
"I found Dr. Nohr to be a very soft spoken, articulate Doctor. My first impression never changed: He was there to help me, and made sure that I knew everything I needed to know before going in for the surgery. I definitely believe that surgical competence is more important than bedside manner! I do wish that there was a few more nutrition classes that you could take AFTER the surgery, but there is not. I was originally booked in for my consultation in April of 2013! I asked to be put on the cancellation list, and VOILA! I got in 13 months early! March of 2012! Then at that appointment I was booked for July 2013 to have the surgery done! Once again, I asked to be put on the cancellation list, and once again, VOILA!! I got a call on May.31st/2012 and the receptionist asked if I would be able to be booked in for JUNE.4TH!!!! 5 DAYS LATER!!! I HIGHLY recommend being put on the cancellation list, because your chances of getting in early are pretty good! It also helps that I live right in Medicine Hat and a stay at home mom, so I was able to drop everything, arrange child care and have my surgery. I realize that not everyone would be able to accept only 5 days notice, but I'm a super lucky lady, apparently! The call was on Thursday, and I had my surgery on Monday. I had my surgery laparoscopically, and I definitely made the right choice! Dr. Nohr explained to me open vs lap, and lap was definitely the way to go for me! When I came to, I was expecting an ng tube, a stomach drain, etc. But I had NOTHING other than oxygen! I was home on Friday! It turns out that I developed a stricture, and I have had to be dilated twice already, and probably will have it again in November. When I was put in hospital for pancreatitis, Dr. Nohr was immediately informed of my stomach troubles, and he immediately had g-scope done on me. Turns out I had food stuck! I have an appointment with Dr. Nohr at the end of October, because he wants to see how I'm doing as far as the stricture is concerned. I will update at that time! Overall, I would say that Dr. Nohr is an excellent surgeon, and I am very happy that I was (still am) in such good hands!"
