Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 Roxanne, I know you did not ask me, but Im going to tell you about my experience.. I did fine, not much need for pain meds.. the staff is excellent. Dr. Warden did my surgery.. he's an associate of Dr. Booth.. Lifeshape is outstanding and they will prepare you for everything you need. I traveled from Florida for my surgery.. They wont ask anything that you cant do.. and NO WAY JOSE did they treat me like anything other than a patient.. very professional and caring.. and just for the record.. there will be people there with a problem worse than yours.. trust me.. Love, Sue. > > I just had my d.s. with Dr. Booth on 9/18/01 so whoever had > questions > > about him can feel free to e-mail me or post questions here. > > Hi Leah, I am so happy for you.
