"Can I give him 10 stars? Dr. Pohl has mad surgeon skills!!! He did my procedure in an hour and 20 minutes and without any problems whatsoever. I'm not convinced any other surgeon could have done that. My BMI is extremely high which put me at a high risk patient. I didn't even have any pain after surgery. I was home in two days. If you're in this area and are looking into having this surgery... Dr. Pohl is the one you want. He's the best. Ask anyone and they will tell you. He is the absolute best bariatric surgeon in RI. "
"I have to post another review of Dr. Pohl. Words cannot express how happy I am that I chose him to be my surgeon. He is so nice and calm and has a very good sense of humor. I have a very high BMI and although I know that makes things more difficult for him he never gives me any negative feeling that he will not be able to do the surgery laparoscopically. It's been a long road but I just got the phone call today that I have a surgery date scheduled for December 11, 2012. I'm very excited and very happy but knowing that I am in Dr. Pohl's rock steady hands I am also very confident. Thank you God for showing me the way to Dr. Pohl. I was hoping my re-birthday would be in the spring or summer but it's okay. I'll take it. :-) "
"My first impression was great. I met him at the seminar and then had my consult on Oct. 14, 2010. His office was really busy, but it was the day after the monthly seminar. The office staff was nice. I had heard stories of them being rude, but I didn't find them to be rude at all. In fact, given the busyness of the office, I'd say they were all very friendly and competent.
I felt Dr. Pohl was very approachable and easy to talk to and I don't really feel that way about a lot of people especially doctors.
I had gone to the seminar but he went over the surgery points again for my husband who went with me. He went over the risks again but also pointed out that they are rare. He's done over a thousand of these surgeries and rarely has leaks or any complications but they are possible and he makes sure that you know of the possibilities. I would definitely recommend him. He was very informative and ready to answer any questions I had. "
