Surgeon Testimonial

Brent Bruderer, M.D.
May 27, 2008 - Today I met Dr. Bruderer for the very first time at the informational session. He seems like a great doctor. I know he has a ton of experience and discussed that at the meeting. I was pretty impressed with him and he made us all feel very comfortable with being humorous as well as getting to the point of what he needed to get across to us. He had 2 of his staff members there with him, who which have all gone through weight loss surgery themselves. I thought that was awesome, because they will definitely be able to relate to us when we experience this or that. I think that he will have a great bedside manner, which I have only experienced from one other doctor in my past. I won't discuss all the docs I have dealt with that are just there to pop in and say as quickly as they can because they might become deformed or something standing next to you. He seems to have an excellent before and after care program set in place. All risks of surgeries were discussed. As well as risks that could happen down the road, with staples, etc. I would rate this doc right now an 8/10, and in my book that is high, after all the jerks I have dealt with especially over the last 3 years with all my other medical issues. I believe this doctor knows what he is doing, has excellent surgical competence and will have an awesome bedside manner. I am looking very forward to working with this doctor.
