Personal Care and Attention
At St. John Health, we are known for our Passion for Healing. We focus on you as a whole person and embrace personal faith and spirituality as part of the healing process. Care is prompt, respectful, welcoming, compassionate and individualized.
You can trust that your care at St. John Weight Loss will be convenient, consistent and coordinated—before, during and after your surgery.
For example:
- Our clinic is designed to eliminate barriers that the obese patient experiences when seeking medical intervention. To maximize comfort, we provide appropriately sized furniture, spacious exam rooms, privacy, and appropriate sized medical instruments.
- One-on-one consultation with a St. John surgeon who will assist you in deciding which of the various surgical techniques are best to meet your weight-loss goals.
- The clinical and support team are specially trained professionals who are sensitive to the special needs of obese patients. The clinic staff provide consistent attention and, if desired, are there to personally support you up to the moment you enter the operating room.
- After surgery, specific pain concerns or wound healing questions are directed to the nurse for an immediate response.
- While you adjust to nutritional restrictions after surgery, the staff will accept phone calls while you are at the grocery store to advise on food selections.
