I first saw Dr. Cech on the recommendation of my other doctor. He was very pleasant and easy to understand and talk to. Dr. Cech spent a lot of time with me and my wife in my first visit to talk about my history, why I was coming in, and all of my options. He took the time to answer all of my concerns and questions and gave me a ton of great information. I went back about amonth later to schedule my surgery and had another great visit. Dr. Cech spent another 30 minutes, at least, re-discussing the procedure, the recovery time/aspects, and the expected results.
The surgery went exactly as he had described it would, the length of time, the care/recovery in the hospital afterwards, etc. Now, I did have an issue with being weak and fainting, etc. but that was my fault. I had been lax in keeping up with my fluids for a few weeks and it just caught up with me and I was dehydrated. I ended up having to stay the night instead of going home after surgery. The staff at the hospital and Dr. Cech treated me so well during the recovery period, especially because of my "issues", and I could not have been happier. I felt like everyone really cared about what I was going through and I was looked after and watched very closly and with so much attention to detail and my needs.
I've had surgeries before, and I have never really had the surgeon come visit for a check up or anything while in the hospital, but Dr. Cech came to see me. And it wasn't a quick 1-2 minute visit like I have seen other doctors make. He checked me over, asked how I was doing, and let me ask questions and tell him how my night went. Again, I felt truly cared for.
At this time, I am at about four weeks out and everything is healing well and looks great - just as he said it would. I have been in to see Dr. Cech four times since surgery and have spoken to his staff over the phone for questions and concerns during these four weeks. I always get prompt replies and good information.
My overall experience has been wonderful - the initial visit, talking with Dr. Cech, the appointment/scheduling process, time in the office, the hospital experience, and the after care. I saw a couple reviews that were less than favorable for the doctor. I don't understand those reviews as they are completely the opposite of the experience I've had. The things these few people stated sound over-the-top and more personal (as in they don't quite understand how plastic surgery works) rather than a true reflection of Dr. Cech and staff. Also, a couple people complained about wait times in the office... well, this is a doctor's office and people have questions for the doctor. When a doctor is trying to give you his or her full attention and answer your questions or things like that, your appointment is going to run him or her longer than expected, therefore, pushing out the other patients. Give your doctor a break...
