Dr Schram did a great job in my surgery, he is a gifted surgeon. The most important thing that he did was to hold me accountable for what I do with the tool I now possessed. Posted on 08/21/2009 |

When I first met Dr. Schram I was comfortable right away. He made me feel safe and secure. He went over everything I needed to know about going in to surgery. On the day of surgery her came in to see me before we got started and asked if I was ok and if I had any questions or concerns. Just before he left me to go and get ready...he said a prayer! I will NEVER forget that. I have never had an experience like that. I would recommend ( and have) that anyone I know and love go to see Dr. Schram if they had questions about RNY weightloss surgery. Dr. Schram had the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever had and I want to thank him for giving me my life back!!! Posted on 08/20/2009 |

My first impression was that I liked him and I liked the way he treated me. He answered all my questions and was patient with me. I think the surgical aftercare was fine, but the support from the nutritionist was lacking a lot. I would have liked to have been able to goto weekly meetings or biweekly meeting to weigh in or just talk about that I am doing wrong. One booklet just did not cut it for me in this department. I think this could definately be improved upon.
Dr. Schram did a wonderful job and I am completely happy with the surgery he performed and I think he has both surgical competence and bedside manner. Posted on 07/31/2009 |

Dr. Schram seems personable, knowledgeable and realistic.
I immediately felt comfortable with the program and staff. The facility effectively meets the needs of its patients, although the first floor bathroom is not fat friendly :) guess that is the "after" bathroom.
I have reservations about the lack of communication from his office, I didn't expect to be hand-held but I was concerned about the lack of communication I've received while meeting the pre-op conditions.
Fortunately I have supportive & persistent friends who continuously called on my behalf, and I finally received my surgery date. June 29, 2009!
Hopefully the lack of communication will not continue during after-care. I feel the staff my have been caught off guard by my determination, and how quickly I completed... [Click here for more] the pre-op conditions.
I still believe this is a good program with good, well trained people.

Dr Schram, along with his office staff, are professional, friendly and direct. I highly recommend him. His surgical competencies and skills are excellent. Dr Schram's bedside manner is the best I have ever seen in my nursing career. You won't be disappointed (unless you choose to be); instead, you will be in great hands as he prays with you before surgery. Posted on 05/21/2009 |

My surgeon will be Dr.Schram at Barix in Yipsilani, MI. I met him for initial consult in March 2009. I liked him. i felt really confident that he knew what he was doing, and i trust that he will take good care of me. I only just got OHIP approval for coverage, so i am waiting on a surgery date. I guess I'll be a better judge of him later right? But seriously, i have really good feelings about him, seems really competent, caring, and he has a sense of humour, which i find really important in a doctor, because it lightens me up a bit as i tend to be a major worry wart!!!

The first time I saw Dr. Kam he was rushed, he had an emergency waiting for him. What I seen was good and I thought he was thorough. So as far as judging him I can't and won't. I haven't met him and won't again until my surgery date. I have heard some great things about this Dr. I think his office staff is wonderful.. all of them and thank them for all their help so far.
I saw Dr. Kam today for my after surgery check up. He is a wonderful surgeon and a very nice Dr. I really am glad I was able to have him as my dr.
Thank you Dr. Kam!
One more thing, I'd like to wish Dr. Kam much success in his future. I will miss him as my Dr.
Since Dr. Kam left I am now using Dr. Schram at Barix.
He is great!.. he knows what I need and when.. if I ask for a tweak that's what... [Click here for more] I get.. and as far as hitting the *right spot*.. he doesn't have to poke around to find my port.. I am very happy with Dr. Schram..

He is knowledgeable and kind at my consultation.
My husband had him for surgery in July of 2008, and I was impressed that he actually prayed with him prior to surgery. It was nice.
Aftercare is important. 3 week, 6 week checkups, as well as bloodwork and lab work at 3 months, 6months, 9 months and a year. I went with my hubby for his checkups and Dr. Schram included me as family in the aftercare. He is very thorough.
I would rate him a 10 out of 10 stars. He is competent, and kind.
No negatives to share about him. I have yet to go through aftercare or surgery, that is in about 3 days! Posted on 03/27/2009 |
