"My first impression of Dr. Kemmerling was that he was a no-nonsense, non joking around type of guy. My impression of him changed when he was talking with my husband about soccer teams and seemed to enjoy the conversation they were having. Dr. Kemmerling also said at one point that lack of protein on the after care diet can cause hair loss. He then stopped, looked over at my bald husband, and jokingly asked if hubby had been on this diet! :D it was very cute and relaxed us a lot. Dr. Kemmerling's office staff was very very courteous and made me feel at home and cared about. I can't think of anything negative to say about Dr. Kemmerling at the moment! I would like other patients to know that Dr. Kemmerling was very throughough when going through my medical history and recommended me seeing several additional doctors prior to the surgery for releases or letters from them based on the information I had put in my health history... (for example, I had admitted to shortness of breath and foot pain, so now I have to see a pulmonologist and a podiatrists). I would consider that a negative thing, but I understand that it's necessary. Their office was adamant about aftercare, they did discuss the risks of surgery, but made it very plain that I have more risks of future health problems by staying obese. I would rate my entire initial consultation as excellent."
