    My experience was amazing. Everyone was so tentative to my care. They visited me on multiple times a day. They answered my questions. They gave extreme quality of care. I'm extremely happy and grateful for the whole transplant team.

    I met Dr. Sebastian 11 years ago when he did a procedure. When I ran into similar problem, because of level of care, understanding and level of competence he exhibited prior, I asked for him again as a referral. He explains my situation at level I comprehend and I trust him wholeheartedly.

    All of the doctors are very much involved. They know my history. They take very good care of me. I have a lot of different doctors that I can go to and they've made it clear at any time I have questions or anything like that. So I'm extremely happy with the care I've received from Dr. Sebastian and all the other doctors.

    I wish that my doctor that I seen would have had done me more checks to make sure before he told me there wasn't the kidney stones that was hurting me. I don't believe that he would know something like that because I'm the person that's having the extreme pains. And I just feel that they need to take their time. And before they say they think something, they should know. I don't like when doctors think because when they think, that leaves me with me not being well. Because whatever they thought it was, they don't give no help in it. So that's me.

    Dr. Sebastian was very informative with all that is involved with my up coming surgery. Told me everything he will be doing to remove the mass on the head of pancreas. Also he was very open and honest of what might be extensive with the procedure.
