Do you have an awesome doctor?

I searched for quite awhile before selecting my surgeon, and I am so happy with the choice I made. I live in GA and had my surgery in Deluth at Northside hospital, my surgeon was Dr. Del Mazo. I really like his bedside manner, and have been very comfortable with him from the initial consult. The dietitians, fitness instructors, nurses and office staff have all been wonderful and when I was discharged from the hospital he gave me a teddy bear; of course I said that’s not necessary and he goes...”well yeah we do, it’s “bear”iatrics.” Lol

I cried, because I’m a softie, and because it was just unexpected, and no it doesn’t matter that they do it for all of their patients, it was touching to me:)

I wanted to share, because I don’t genuinely enjoy and click with every doctor, but feel
It’s worth some kudos to them when you find a good one.

Thats so sweet 😊

I think I had a really good surgeon. I did mine inthe UK at parkside hospital with Dr . Vasilikosta.

I have social anxiety so I am not easy to be around . But he was really nice to me, friendly and understanding. We bumped elbows (instead of fist bumping , because covid) at the end haha.

The surgery itself went really well. I woke up with little pain, not much gas pain and could drink relatively easily.

I love my surgeon. I had another surgeon originally, but the hospital let him go because of COVID. I could have gone to his partner, but I decided to go to a completely different place and I'm so happy I did. My surgeon is Darrin Minkin in St. Louis, MO.
