The RenewedReflections discussion about Minneapolis Minnesota Great program and surgeon. Join us and discuss Minneapolis Minnesota Great program and surgeon.
Park Nicollet offers an incredible group of people to help you through this journey. They are professional and fun. And I would say that it amazes me when I go in and see all the patients they see and the nurse I only saw on my first visit calls me be name. And she never knows that I will be there. And she is not the only one.
Dr. Tom Jones did the surgery. Not only was he upfront he was funny and intraspective. His credentials are amazing. He was one of the early pioneers into using laproscopic processes for this procedure(or so I was told).
Dr. Wiita is a nice. She is the doc who handles the initial consult and follow up on patient progress and maintenance.
Every time I have called with a question or concern, the staff has handled it quickly and appropriately. Well except for the insurance thing. I dont know whos fault that is. I was told so many different things about insurance and it seems like it was alot of ups and downs with that part of the process.
Bottom line if you are considering this journey make sure you find a doctor and program that you feel safe and happy with.

Must have something to do with our "Minnesota nice" culture! I could say almost the exact same thing about Dr. Chute and the group at Minneapolis Bariatrics at Abbott Northwest. Isn't it great to have so many outstanding options?
