Not only did Dr. Paul do a great job (as confirmed by other surgeons and his reputation); he still checks on my wife, even three years later.

He is clearly a highly knowledgeable surgeon who took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, address all my concerns, and ensure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Sachse's skill and care. If you are in need of surgical intervention, my wife and I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend consulting with Dr. Sachse. His talent is a true gift, if you are facing surgery and looking for a highly competent and caring surgeon, look no further than Dr. Sachse.

Dr. Cross took out my gall bladder 10 years ago, then my appendix 4 years ago. A year and a half ago I returned for "the hat trick" and he removed my thyroid. Not only is he incredibly skilled, but he has the best bedside manner I have ever seen in any doctor, and trust me, I have seen a lot of doctors! His staff is amazing. December 2012 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and my family doctor was less than helpful, barely acknowledging my results - guess my cancer diagnosis interrupted his holidays (Dec 26th). Not knowing what to do, I started googling and saw that surgery was a typical first step.. I called Dr. Cross's office and his nurse Sandy and his receptionist talked to me at great length about thyroid cancer, giving me various resources and information, with care and understanding. And they made me an appt. I was in to see Dr. Cross within a few days. Remember, this was over the Christmas holiday when most offices are closed or completely booked. He fit me in, no questions asked. I have seen Dr. Cross multiple times, for 3 surgeries, and recoveries. In the many appointments I have had with him, he has NEVER rushed me, never glossed over my questions or concerns, has even comforted me when I cried about not knowing what to do. While in the hospital recovering, he visited me each day, always warm and understanding, explaining test results and making sure the hospital staff was treating me right. :). He works well with my specialists and primary care doctor, always sending reports and results on to them. Not only is he a gifted surgeon, but a great person. Treating with knowledge and compassion. Hard to find both in one surgeon.

I sent the following email/review to this Dr.'s office earlier this week, hoping that they would…read morecontact me and that I would then not feel the need to post it here. But since I never heard back from them, I am sharing it below. ********************************************** I hesitated to write this, hoping that I would get a survey from the practice itself and could keep this "in-house" so to speak. However, the fact that I am still upset more than a month after my appointment has me writing this review. I had a LAP Band put in 12 years ago by Dr. Barry Greene. I had no problems with it, and I felt good about the practice. Recently I have been having some gastric issues and my primary care physician (PCP) ordered a CAT Scan of my GI tract among other things. My PCP thought that the band had slipped and asked me to make an appointment for a follow-up with Dr. Greene. My appointment was in late September. That day I had a fluoroscope (a procedure where you drink some barium while having a scan while swallowing) which was read by Dr. Joseph Greene. He showed me some "rough edges" on my esophagus. I asked him what this could mean, and he replied that I needed to come back to talk to Dr. Barry as this could be an issue and that he (Barry,) as the LAP band expert, needed to be the one to talk to me. The earliest appointment was for late October. So far no complaints except for the long wait and lack of immediate information. I now had a month to wait and think about all of the terrible things those "rough edges" could mean and by the time of my appointment I was about as nervous as one could be when one knows in the back of their mind that if something were truly wrong I would have been rushed to the front of the queue. At least that was how I comforted myself when I was most scared. The day of the appointment with Dr. Barry arrived. I was taken into the back by an assistant and asked the questions I expected to be asked, about medications, medical history, etc. Then I was asked, "So why are you here today?" I looked at the assistant with incredulity and answered "I don't know. I was told I needed to come back to see Dr. Barry, so you tell me." She excused herself without addressing my answer. Barry then came in. He glanced at my chart and at the fluoroscope photo and pronounced that the band was perfectly situated. He then asked me a few questions, after which he said that the band was working perfectly. He explained why the band was working perfectly. He then started to talk about other surgery options, at which point I stopped him, pointed to the photo and asked "Well what about this? The jagged edges of my esophagus? He answered "Oh, that's nothing. It's just the contractions from swallowing." He then returned to his spiel about a Gastric Sleeve. Nothing acknowledging the fact that I had been worried for over a month about these jagged edges. Nothing to reassure me that yes, I was correct in thinking that they would have scheduled me for an earlier appointment if something were really wrong. Instead, I was left with the definite impression that no one had opened my chart, much less looked at it, since my last appointment, meaning that if something really were wrong, they wouldn't know... or care. I left feeling the following: 1. That the questions about my current band and the pronouncement that it was "working perfectly" was simply a "cover your ass" move. 2. That this second appointment was for no purpose other than to sell me more surgery. 3. That I was the victim of a medical "bait and switch." This review is not to question the competence of this practice and the providers therein. They are excellent surgeons, but the lack of empathy was astounding. As I said in the beginning of the missive, I am still upset.

Hello Dr. Tsion I…read morehonestly do not know why I waited this long to properly express my deepest appreciation to you and your entire team. From the very beginning of this journey you and your staff have shown me a level of kindness compassion humanity and professionalism that I will never forget. To be honest it never feels like I am walking into a medical office surrounded by staff members doing their jobs. Instead it feels like I am being welcomed by a close and caring family. The warmth patience and genuine care that each one of you shows creates an environment that brings comfort even during painful and vulnerable moments. I truly want you to know how grateful I am for everything you have done for me. So far I am very happy with my recovery and overall experience. Even the pain has been mostly manageable and hearing from Lydia that my recovery is progressing beautifully made me feel incredibly relieved and thankful. Please let her know how much I appreciate her kindness and support as well. What touched my heart the most is the way you treated me not simply as another patient but as a human being deserving of care dignity reassurance and compassion. In moments when people feel physically and emotionally vulnerable kindness becomes unforgettable and that is exactly what your team gave me. You all made me feel safe cared for respected and genuinely valued. I truly mean this from my heart when I say that you have become like family to me. One day when I am fully recovered I am planning to come back with kitfo and kocho to celebrate and thank everyone properly. That thought genuinely makes me happy because I already feel such a meaningful connection with all of you. And I also want to say this with a smile I promised before that it was not the medication talking and I still mean every single word. My gratitude is sincere heartfelt and lasting. I absolutely plan to keep in touch because people like you are rare and the kindness you give leaves a permanent mark on people's lives. Thank you again Dr. Tsion Lydia and the entire team for your extraordinary care your humanity and the love you show through your work every day. May God continue to bless all of you your families your careers and the lives you touch so beautifully. With heartfelt gratitude and appreciation Yodit

AWFUL AWFUL from a medical and customer service perspective…read more We showed up at 6AM and checked in with a very nice front desk staff. Then it all fell apart. At 6 30 the front desk lady checked to see if the nurse staff had forgotten the patients in the lobby. At 6 45 a nurse came out and cited she was "still" celebrating her bday. Then she sat the patient there for another 45 min before getting an IV hooked up. So at this point, it is nearly 2 hrs behind and it takes 15-30 min to spin the plasma for this procedure so after the "I-dont-give-a-s#%t" attitude, she delayed things more by starting an IV instead of taking blood to be spun first. She could have started the blood spinning and then hooked up the IV to avoid delaying things further. We were the first folks so I am sure the afternoon patients were delayed by 2-3 hours each From a medical perspective things were just as bad. The nurse tried the needle in one arm then took it out and put it in the other arm (While the chance of infection is low, it is not allowed medically). Then a diff nurse did not use gloves. And worst of they accidentally gave 100 mg of antibiotic instead of 1000 and by some miracle the dr realized this in the afternoon and had to call and apologize and give an oral prescription.

Yes, and it was Paula Picard who called me. She wanted a photo if I could get one, and after we hung up, she called my surgeon, and informed him of the rash. Then my surgeon called me, told me exactly what to do. And then, once I did all of what my surgeon told me, I saw that my phone had a VM from Picard Surgical. Quickly I called them back, and it was Paula again. She wanted to make sure that my surgeon had spoken with me, and if the rash was still there. THIS KIND OF PERSONAL SERVICE is hard to come by.

BEWARE: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, ENERGY OR MONEY!…read more Where do I start?! I bought a groupon for this place and have been trying hard to get my treatments done so I can be done with this place for good. I should have gotten a refund months ago, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt since I had never had laser done before and I was so excited and eager to have it done. I would give this place 0 stars if possible. First problem: Staff is shoddy. Voicemails are NEVER returned and it is very very RARE that they even answer the phone. They can't hold down a receptionist and there is never a physician on site. Next, of my 5 appointments to date, EVERY SINGLE ONE has been rescheduled at least once, some twice and once 3 times. This is not an acceptable way to do business. Also, when they reschedule, its usually for weeks ahead., not close to your original date. Unacceptable. I am told they only have one laser in the office (and it is not maintained properly)... hence the fact that it overheated and SHUT OFF during my first treatment and I've had several reschedules due to the laser being "down" I am trying to get my last treatment in but now I'm being told the laser was damaged in the storm because it was left plugged in over the weekend and they don't know when it might be fixed. REALLY? I had my treatment scheduled for before my vacation so I could get it done and not have to worry about sun exposure. Well, guess what? My appt was rescheduled for a few days before I leave, and I get a call a few hours before my appt to reschedule again. I'm told it wont be fixed till after I leave for vacation, now I'm stuck and can't have this treatment till Fall. I'm told "there's nothing we can do". The one technician, Alicia, who only worked on weekends was the only saving grace to this place. Unfortunately, she told me at my last visit that she was resigning and leaving. I don't blame her at all. I wouldn't even want this place on my resume. Lastly, I'm not even sure the laser has been working properly all along. I have had 5 treatments and I only see a very little result. I know that even if I get the 6th treatment, it wont get rid of hair. I will have to invest (again) elsewhere to have the hair removed. I know everyone is different, but I know people who have only had 2 or 3 treatments and have seen better results than i'm seeing with 5. I have a hard time believing a business with this many bad business practices & poor quality is even still open. My opinion, it wont be for long. Once my treatment is done, I'll never go back. Ever.
