FW: Dr. Gagner's DS (from asaz@...)

[Guest guest]

I think this was meant for the list, so I'm forwarding it here.

Dr. Gagner's DS

I am consisering using Dr. G, but the possibility of

using someone else is starting to vere its head. I had a

consult w/ Dr. G but forgot to get some clear answers on

a few things can any one help me out?

1. Does he give you anything to prevent gallstones , I

know he does not remove the Gallbladder.

2. Will he visit you in your room before and after

surgery.

3.To a earlier poster who said he never had any deaths,

he told me recently that he has 2 out of 200 DS and one

leak.

4.Has anyone regretted using him as their surgeon, not

Mt saini as the hospital I have heard horror stories

about them from the very beginning of my research.

5. Has he been responsive to concerns and issues postop.

I live long distance, he said he would always be there

to take phone calls or email, but I have heard a few

oppisites on the Internet , has this been the majority's

experience.

6. How can I make sure that he will be the one strickly

performing the ds on me. I know he needs assistants, but

I don't want a fellow or intern touching me.

Thanks for answers. Feel free to add anything else. BB
