Surgeon Testimonial

Philip R. Schauer MD
I was a little taken back at the first meeting with Dr. Schauer. I had my mind set on Lap Band and after he looked over my chart and records he suggested RNY. I was not prepared to discuss this procedure and all the questions I had were for Lap Band. I think he knew I was little taken back at his suggestion. I was given a week to think about it and decide what I wanted to do. I spoke with a good friend on OH and was told to just stand my ground and go with my first choice. I did go with my first choice, the lap Band. The second meeting I had with Dr. Schauer was to discuss the procedure, the risk and outcome. I have found Dr. Schauer to be a very confident and excellent surgeon. I feel that the post op and follow up care is very well constructed and geared towards helping the patient reach all their weight loss goals. I would highly recommend Dr. Schauer to anyone that is looking into any weight loss procedure.
