"I had a great experience overall. I did a problem with a resident that knew me and told people about my surgery without permission and a Dr. that bought residents in my room reminded me of Dr. Rocket Romano from ER...very rude and brash."
"My first impression of Dr. Schuricht was I love this man!!! He made me feel like if I stuck with him, I could not go wrong, and he has lived up to all my expectations and more!! My impression hasn't changed...I love him more now. He feels like a member of the family. His staff is just as awesome. They have been so helpful. I walk in the office and feel like I have walked into a room full of old friends. I don't like that I can't spend more one on one time with Dr. Schuricht, there is so much I would like to sit and talk about since I have had the surgery. What patients should know about him is that he is very upfront, sugar is the enemy so he doesn't sugar coat anything. No kid gloves here. My hospital experience was less than stellar, a doctor who I can not remember his name came in with residents and made me feel like a piece of meet or a body in the morgue. He ripped of bandages and hurt me and showed not a bit of anything, I got more sympathy from the residents. Then my sleep apnea mask was thrown out, oh and the worst was a resident who saw my name on the patient list and she knew my ex-employers told everyone she knew I had the surgery, not that I am ashamed, but you don't want to be pumping gas and here someone shout across the parking lot, you up already, can I see your scars? But, they have nothing to do with Dr. Schuricht. Aftercare was an important factor to your success. He tells you that the surgery is just a tool and it really is. You learn that so quickly, it almost becomes your montra! The aftercare program is very structured. You go for your follow ups, you go to your support groups and you do what you are told and the weight will melt off. I am 4 months out and I have lost 75 pounds. Dr. Schuricht broke down the risks and benefits of the surgery so well. I had no questions and that is so not like me. Overall, I would rate him...priceless! His surgical competence and bedside manner surpass anyone I have dealt with or witnessed...my husband worries that I am in love with him. I think I am, you would fall in love with the person that gives you your life back. I thank God for leading me to him, I can never thank him enough."
