James A. Sapala

"I was very nervous (as we all are) when I went to meet Dr. Sapala and his staff. I couldn't even remember my phone number when I needed to fill out insurance info! However, he is a wonderful man who truly cares about his patients. He is very compassionate about the work that he does and he has a lot of confidence. I trusted him with my life... and here I am post-op to talk about it! The thing that made me feel the best, is that a couple people working in his office have had the procedure. I talked to them to find out the negatives, the positives, how they felt about it. When you can actually see a person that had the procedure done, and see how much better they feel, and they re-assure you what a good choice you have made.. it makes all the difference in the world. When I left his office, I was so excited. My husband and I both knew that I had made the right decision.. no question! The only thing I didn't like was the hospital stay. The nurses were friendly (you know, you get one or two that aren't) but the hospital itself was not as clean as I would have liked and I had to remind them a lot about medication and things that I needed. The Drs there were wonderful and took a lot of time explaining things to me. I am glad I had this procedure and I am particularly glad I chose Dr. Sapala."
