"Dr. Speigal and his staff have been great. I am so glad that the insurance assistant used \"tough love\" to make me get the right info in the correct format. By doing this, the approval was immediate and a positive experience. rnI am required to have a cardiac clearance prior to surgery and then I will meet with the doc again.rnDr. Speigal smiles and is encouraging in his presentation and when he speaks with you. He is intelligent and has a great bedside manner. I can't wait to see what he is like after the surgery. I will be required to stay overnight for the lap band procedure due to my sleep apnea and number of epidsodes per night. rn"
