"I met Dr Schauer initially in November 2007 at an orientation session at Cleveland Clinic. He is kind, knowledgeable, realistic, respectful, and patient.rnrnOffice staff are all wonderful and more than two have already been through this process with him as thier surgeon.rn rnFuture patients should know he is realistic, not a bulshitter, and has you best interest in mind.rnrnHe emphsizes the after even before he spoke of the surgery and his staff emphassized that as well.rnrnThey have a structured program from the first call, pre surgery, post surgery and beyondrnrnDr Schuar was very candid about risks of surgery and how important following pre and post op instructions were in assisting with the least amount of complications.rnrnI rate him a 10 at this time. 12/07. and 2/08, and 4/08rnrnI had surgery on March 26th 2008. Dr Schauer continued to be top notch and even right before surgery he reassured me he would be there, he let me know there was a chance the surgery may have to be done open but the goal was to keep it laproscopic, and generally made me feel much better all around. rnrnDespite all of that he had remained open and realistic. That is something I commend.rnrnHe has a great bedside manner and explains things clearly. He also introduced me to the surgeon that would be assisting him who also had an excellent bedside manner.rnrnI cannot say rnough good things about him and his surgical support staff.rnrnIt is now 6/28/08 I still rate Dr. Chauer as a 10! rnrnHe saved my life, plain and simple. I am eternally grateful.rnrnIt is now 6-19-09 and I have not changed my mind about Dr Schauer. He is wonderful and has great bedsie manner and even was OK with me huggin him to thank him, not that i gave him much of a choice:)"
"I did not appreciate the first visit where everything I had worked for was negated and I was basically told I couldnt have made all those changes and done all of that work"
