"I truly believe there couldn't possibly be a better surgeon, general and bariatric, than Dr. Michael A. Snyder, M.D. I was impressed from the very start with Dr. Snyder, and my opinion hasn't changed in the almost 18 months I have been under his care. Dr. Snyder's office staff is professional, cohesive, well organized, friendly and caring, prompt, attentive and efficient. What do I like the least about Dr. Snyder? That he likes Linkin Park better than The Cure ;) Future patients, please be assured of Dr. Snyder's utmost professionalism, kindness and genuine caring for you as a person and his excellence in bariatric treatment. Dr. Snyder fully emphasizes aftercare and the aftercare program available through the Denver Center for Bariatric Surgery is comprehensive, thorough and open ended. Dr. Snyder's door is never closed for his patients; assistance and support is always available. As a patient, I was fully and thoroughly informed of the risks associated with bariatric surgery (in my case, laproscopic RNY 9/24/07). Both Dr. Snyder's surgical skills and bedside manner are absolutely stellar! Out of ten stars, I give him fifteen! I see that we're not supposed to give 100% positive reviews . . . okay, well, I just had to have my gallbladder removed, at ten months post-op, and Dr. Snyder performed that surgery as well (8/7/08). It was an emergency cholecystectomy, and he worked me into his schedule on extremely short notice, in between scheduled surgeries. After the surgery, no one from Dr. Snyder's office came to see me to give me a surgical report in person. I received excellent nursing care at Rose Medical Center, so I don't have any complaint about my medical management. I just prefer to see my doctor at least once post-op and to get a verbal review of how the procedure went and what was done, etc. At my follow up appointment two weeks later, I expressed my concern about this to Dr. Snyder, and he fully acknowledged the oversight and apologized. He then made a copy of my surgical report from my chart for me to keep, and reviewed it with me. I'll note that Dr. Snyder came to see me following my gastic bypass three times following the surgery, during my hospitalization. I have to say, I'm a Snyder fangirl through-and-through!
