I have been very happy with Dr. G insofar. I originally was scheduled with Dr. Tholen, but he sustained an injury on vacation and my original surgery date had to be cancelled. I decided that before I start over, that I at least meet Dr. Gervis. He was wonderful...even when I calked to speak to him two weeks later he calked me back to answer some concerns I had. So far, very happy. I will report again as I go through the process.

Cancelled Surgery Due to Safety Concerns
I recently discovered that my current plastic surgeon, Dr. Gervias, that was slated to do my TT and Arm Lift, does not have an anesthesiologist (MD) that oversees any of his surgical procedures. He uses a Certified Nurse Anesthetist. In my opinion, This might be fine for a simple procedure but not for a procedure that requires general sedation for 7 hours. I am personally, extremely uncomfortable with the risk that poses. So, I have been forced to find another skilled surgeon who meets the medical and safety requirements that I require.
I'm disappointed because I really like him and Dr. Tholen. I believe they are very talented surgeons but consider utilizing the services of a MD (anesthesiologists) to oversee and monitor patient sedation.
