"1/30/03..........I attended Dr. Snyder's information seminar on 1/23/03 and was very impressed by his passion to help others that deal with morbid obesity. He was extremely informative and never judgemental. He answered many questions at the end of his seminar, but then he stayed behind for others that wanted to speak with him one-on-one. He never rushed anybody and treated everyone with dignity and respect.
During the seminar, he introduced many post-op patients, which was very impressive; also, he introduced his staff and made it very clear that they were all there to help. Evidently that had not always been the case and he has corrected that situation. I was very impressed with his staff - many of which were his patients at one time.
Dr. Snyder talks very fast, but he is trying to convey tons of information in a short time frame - he's got a great sense of humor in his delivery style. He stressed more than once how important aftercare is - and I've since spoken to a few of his post-op patients, and they all attest to this. He and his staff are wonderful with aftercare.
My first consult is scheduled for March 19. I'm very excited - I'm already reading through the packet I received at the seminar and starting the process! I'll post more as the time draws near.

UPDATE: 3/26/03..........After my appointment on 3/19/03 was cancelled due to a blizzard, Dr. Snyder's office worked very hard and efficiently getting everybody rescheduled. I finally had my consult today and was once again very impressed with Dr. Snyder and his staff. I found both Dr. Snyder and Patrick (his PAC) to be very compassionate and very caring of their patients. I know I've made the correct decision with the surgeon I've selected."
