Hi my name is Kathy and I am a retired nurse, my surgons name is Dr. Lawrence J Drahota, my surgery was done in Overland Park, Kansas at Blue Valley Hospital. It is a small hospital and the nurses have 3 patients at the most and take very good care of you. Dr Drahota was wounderful and I would recomend him and his hospital to anyone.

My doctor was Ramos-Kelly. He's wonderful and always there for you. I stayed at Nova Hospital and at the Lucerna Hotel very luxurious.

My surgeon was Dr. Christopher Kollar in Saddle Brook, New Jersey. The hospital was Chilton Memorial in Pompton Plains, New Jersey.

Dr. Kollar is a General Surgeon with over 20 years experience. He is kind and compassionate. Chilton is a small hospital, and my experience there was great. Everyone on staff was good-natured, attentive and supportive.
