August 12, 2023UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSMade me feel comfortable with his work
August 04, 2023UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSGood surgeon I just wish he had explained the process of recovery more thoroughly
July 24, 2023UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSMy surgery was complicated to say the least. Dr. Rockwell is a wonderful, intelligent doctor with unbelievable skills. He has done 5 muscle flaps for me throughout the past 20 years without fail. He's a very caring person!
July 13, 2023UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSHe seemed like he was pretty set in his ways of doing things and It seemed like he only was open to doing the surgery I wanted bc I specifically asked for it. He said hed only done ten of them when its a very common procedure for wls patients that have lost considerable weight. It didnt make me feel comfortable having him do it. I also said I wanted to try to have insurance cover it and he didnt even try to run it through even though my weight loss doc had been documenting for me to have coverage
July 02, 2023UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSHe was great. Didnt quite get the outcome I was hoping for, but he still treated me with respect.
May 25, 2023UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSI appreciate someone with experience and I could tell he knew what he was speaking of because of his confidence and he was kind because I was embarrassed about my condition I walked out of there not being embarrassed thank you doctor
