While in the hospital recuperating, I began to research surgeons that specialize in colon resectioning. As soon as I read Dr. Heidi Bahna's resume, I knew I found my surgeon. Her education and experience is extensive regarding colorectal health, she is the program director of general surgery residency and specializes in minimally invasive surgery. My in person surgical consultation allowed me to personally meet Dr. Bahna and allow her to fully explain all aspects of my upcoming procedure. Rewards, risks and the entire procedure from start to finish were fully explained. I left the office knowing I made the right decision by choosing this caring, empathetic and compassionate doctor to help me regain the quality of life I desire.

I was called back to dr Saylors office at 10:20 which i consider to be on time, If a doctor of his Calabar can see you within 20 minutes of your appointment then I think he has doe exceptionally well, His p.a. talked to me first I was impressed with her professionism, he came in a couple minutes later and again I was impressed . He took his time and i felt that he asked all the right questions. I definitelywill go back to him again. I asked that, he send a summary of my visit, to two of my doctors, he then dictated a summary of my visit and had the office give me two written copies of my visit summary, which i will deliver to my doctors on Monday(today is Friday). His office is well managed and everything seemed very organized, much better than most high volume offices. I'd say the entire visit was a strong five star visit. Not one problem at at all everything was perfect.

I've often thought of leaving in order to find a doctor that answers the phone when I call but I'm sure I never will. Dr. Patel is not only thorough but also cares about the health of his patients. He yells at me, " you stopped taking your statins again!" He doesn't tip toe around when it comes to our health and a bonus... he has a great sense of humor. I think he'll keep us alive longer than any other doctor could, even if we don't want to be.

The secretary was unprofessional and rudely said "I'm gonna have to call you back" and interrupted me while I was speaking and then called me back hours later. When I told her (again) that my daughter needs to be evaluated for autism she said "Oh, I don't know if Dr. Ellinger will even see you if it's just a diagnosis. He probably won't want to deal with the paperwork." WHAT? How extremely unethical, rude, and insensitive. I'm calling to tell you I'm concerned that my daughter has autism and you tell me that the "doctor" doesn't want to do the paperwork? She said she'd call me back to confirm and HOURS LATER she called back to tell me that he would indeed not see my daughter and that I'm on my own. I have a PhD in psychology and I'm DISGUSTED that a "doctor" would actually turn away a child in need for selfish, money hungry reasons. Do yourself a favor and find a different psychologist. They're a dime a dozen (I'm allowed to say that since I'm a psychologist myself).

We are so grateful for the care my dad received. Thank you, Dr. Heitman, for sitting with us both before and after the operation to ground us and answer every question. If I could give him 100 stars, I would in a heartbeat. The other day, Dr. Heitman mentioned he was surprised to find a review about himself on Yelp, but the truth is, he absolutely deserves every bit of recognition. His kindness, humility, and dedication shine through in everything he does. Taylor, his nurse practitioner, was equally wonderful. She greeted us with such a joyful attitude every time and was so patient in explaining everything to us. Her warmth and clarity made a world of difference. I recommend Dr. Heitman and his team with my eyes closed. Thank you to the entire team for all that you do! Your kindness and professionalism mean more than you know.

My mother is very independent, healthy and focused on her longevity. But, on May 24, 2019, at 82,…read moreshe had triple bypass surgery. This came completely out of left field for our family. She was given a routine stress test by her cardiologist Dr. Prasad Chalasani. He found the results disturbing so he performed a heart catheterization and found three blockages, 100%, 90% and 60%, and due to the length of the blockages, a heart stint was out of the question. Dr. Chalasani referred her to Dr. William Heitman and his team at Lawnwood. From the minute he met our mother, Dr. William Heitman was thorough in his discussion of her condition, the possible outcomes of performing a triple bypass on an 82-year old, as well as discussing her recovery time very realistically. He talked to her- not just to my brother who accompanied her to her first consult. He answered their questions clearly, putting my mother at ease (as much as possible) about having the surgery. He assured her that he would not operate on her if he didn't think she could recover 100%. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Heitman and his team greeted my mother and discussed her surgery with her, my brother, and myself. Dr. Heitman was reassuring and professional. And, he also gave us a bit of insight about what drove him to become a thoracic surgeon. His mother had her first bypass surgery in her 50's, then a second in her 70's, only to live 20+ more years. This willingness to share his personal history about his mother impacted both my brother and me. We knew that he got into this business for the right reasons, and that when he held our mother's heart in his hands, he was motivated by the love for his own mother. He incited trust. After the surgery, Dr. Heitman met us in the CVICU waiting room to discuss my mother's condition. She had come through the surgery extraordinarily well, the procedure took less time than he first thought and that my mother's heart was in amazing condition for her age. He noted that my mother was very healthy and that her tissue was "young". Such a relief. Once the surgery was done, the work my mother had to do was a little daunting. But, Dr. Heitman helped by not just focusing on the actual surgery, but also setting the bar high for the standard of care during her recovery. The nurses in the CVICU were all very familiar with Dr. Heitman's protocols for his patients and were all complimentary of his skills and expertise. My mother's incision was "beautiful"-it really was! And, she received the standard of care Dr. Heitman requires for his patients while in the hospital. He even walked her down the hall a few times; such personal care motivated my mother to stay focused on getting well. On the day she was being released, we had a death in our family. I called Dr. Heitman and he was so lovely in helping me navigate how to tell my mother. He assured me that her heart was strong, and that she could handle it. That told me that Dr. Heitman took time to really get to know my mother. So reassuring. But, wait! It doesn't stop there! My mother's home health care nurse, Joy (from Trilogy) was trained in Dr. Heitman's protocols, so the quality of care my mother received after I brought her home was the same high standard Dr. Heitman holds himself to. He really looks at the whole--from pre-op, to surgery, to ICU, to home recovery. Dr. Heitman is a life saver. Truly. We thank him for saving our precious mother. --Janas Durkee, Alan Smith, Les Smith, Brenda Jordan, Shelly Alcorn
