Surgeon Testimonial

Jeffery Genaw MD
My first impression of Dr. Genaw was that he was very direct and maybe even a bit unfeeling. I also thought he was a bit harsh with his comments. Nothing that obese people haven't been through before. My impression of him changed when I thought about his remarks and realized that he wasn't being mean but rather truthful. He had to tell me the truth.

Dr. Genaw's office staff or his program coordinator is the best to be had. Wanda is an amazing woman. She is caring and dedicated to helping as many people as she can. She is the one who keeps the whole process moving smoothly.

I would say the thing I liked the least about Dr. Genaw is his directness and the thing I liked the most about him is his directness. He says the things you need to hear not always the things you want to hear.

Aftercare, my goodness we get a binder called our "blue bari binder" that we must carry with us to every appointment. It contains everything we need to know from the first appointment and for the rest of our lives. The aftercare is the most important part of the program. It is stressed from day one and we are responsible to know everything that is expected of us.

I would rate the entire program because it all goes hand in hand. The dietician the exercise specialist, the program coordinator, the clearance physician, and the surgeons Dr. Genaw and Dr. Carlin they all get a top notch rating in my book. Without any one of these people the program would not be as good.

I have to say Dr. Genaw is a knowledgeable and skillful surgeon. He is kind and caring and takes more time with a person than any doctor I have ever been to. His bedside manner is wonderful and he spent several hours talking with my husband and I while I was in the hospital. He never makes you feel rushed or that he doesn't have time for you. He takes the time. He answers all questions and then has time for teasing and joking with you as well. He makes you feel like a valuable person.
