Helmut Schreiber
"Six Month Check up: Met with Dr. Schreiber, he is so caring and when he smiles you can feel his love for his patients. I feel so well cared for by Dr. Schreiber and all the staff at Cleveland Center for Bariatric Surgery. We are well cared for and never left without someone to call for any question you may have. I have lost 52% of my excess wt. at 6 months, the average is 42%.....so Dr. Schreiber was pleased and shared his excitment for my success. He offers us the way, we work at it and the CCBS staff guide the way......what a wonderful Team! I met Dr. Schreiber at my first consultation on November 13, 2001. He was to the point and gave me time to ask any questions I had. I had all my questions prepared ahead of time so that my tongue would not be tied! Most questions were answered in the presentation prior to my consultation with the doctor. He was very direct in pointing out that this surgery is only a tool that can be used to help or misused, it was all up to my conviction to the lifestyle change. He warned me of all the risks, also. I asked him how he came to specialize in this surgery, and whether he had anyone in his family that had weight problems. He said he did not have anyone in his family with this type of problem. I wanted to know if he felt a personal conviction to this dilemma. I dont know, with just one meeting, if he does have this in his heart.....but i feel that he is a proud man and strives only to do the best work. The office staff is helpful, some seem to be in a hurry, but polite. The "Angel" worker i met there, Virginia Vitanza, was a real inspiration and gave me such peace and encouragement. Should i decide to go with this, i pray i can give back to others the way Virginia has given to me. POST OP: Dr. Schreiber was very personal and caring. He gave me the feeling of being very safe and well cared for. I felt very confident of his care. "
