"During my stay, my family was able to easily get in and out of the facility to visit me. My mother is disabled and the door attendants and security officers were more than happy to assist her in getting in and out of the facility. A very warm, wonderful and caring environment for your surgery."
"My first impression of Dr. Quinlin was one of overwhelming care and concern for his patients. He has performed these kind of surgeries for over 30 years and truly finds his calling in life by helping others regain their health. His office staff was always more than helpful and courteous to me and my family anytime we have needed to be in contact. Before surgery, he and his office made sure I knew exactly what I was going to be going through. They outlined the risks completely and thoroughly before surgery as well. He did not require a two week or even one week liquid fasting preop like so many other surgeons do. His thought on this, he told me, was that I was going to be on liquids long enough after surgery so why start my misery before surgery. While in the hospital recovering, there wasn't one person on his staff that hadn't been through the surgery themselves. They knew what I was going through. Other than a very inconsiderate nurse in the recovery room who had a know it all attitude, I had awesome care in the hospital. Dr. Quinlin was there daily to make sure everything was going smoothly with my recovery. Periodically, others from his office also stopped in to see how I was doing. After I was discharged, I was sent home with plenty of pain meds as well as detailed care instructions as to what was permissible to eat the first few weeks. There was a very structured post operative guide about what you could begin to eat and when. I heard from his office staff weekly to check on me during recovery. As I travelled over two hours from home for this surgery, his office was very helpful in finding a place for my family to stay while I was hospitalized. Upon discharge, I stayed one more night in the hotel prior to making the trip home and the staff of the hotel was more than accomodating.rnI would rate Dr. Quinlin's mannerisms, skills and program as one of the best I've ever been exposed to. I had been exposed to another program locally before I chose to go to Pittsburgh. It was not half as organized as Dr. Quinlin's was. rnI'd recommend him and UPMC - St. Margaret's to anyone considering this surgery."
