"Dr. Rehnke is wonderful! His office staff has become very friendly now that I am in the aftercare program. They were not as personable with me while I was in the qualification process. But to be fair I am sure they have many many people who are all trying to get the surgery, and maybe they just didn't remember me from one call/visit to the next. I went to about 4 or 5 different WLS seminars before I went to Dr. Rehnke's. No question, immediately he put me at ease with his calm, caring manner. I knew right away he was the surgeon for me. His aftercare program is great. He does his fills himself, and always asks what I am eating, how much, how I feel. He also gives me such praise for losing every lb and following the rules! I have to say I am very very comfortable going to him, even though it is nearly a 2 hour ride each way. He and his staff are MORE than worth it! Thanks Dr Rehnke for giving me the chance to begin my life again at 44!"
