Surgeon Testimonial

Daniel Stickler, M.D.
Though I didn't know it at the time, the first time I saw Dr. Stickler, he was working out in the Medabolix gym before starting his day seeing patients. When I met with him and realized that it had been him I had seen coming and going from the gym, I was impressed that he certainly \"practices what he preaches\" as my Momma would say! He seemed very interested in my thoughts regarding the surgery. He was extremely attentive to my needs and questions. And, I did not feel like I was rushed as I have so many times in the past with other doctors who book 10 or 15 minutes per patient and rush you in and out the door as if on a conveyor belt. He fully addressed the surgery, possible complications, and made sure that all my questions were answered. AND, he told me about obesityhelp.com! The office setting was pleasant and relaxed. The employees were friendly and wore a smile at all times. It was obvious that they enjoy working with Dr. Stickler.rnrnHe did emphasize the post-operative process and what I should be doing now to be best prepared for my post-op experience. His office does offer a structured follow-up process for your first year post-op. I'm quite happy with my experience at this point! If his bedside manner is anything like his office personality, I'll be happy then too!rnrnUpdate 1 year postop:rnI've been very happy to have chosen Dr. Stickler and Medabolix for my surgery. Their followup program is unbeatable and the staff really do seem to care about how we progress on our WLS journey!
