St Paul Surgeons LTD Bariatric Center

Dr Rupp is a wonderful Dr. I felt really comfortable talking to him from the very first meeting. He came across as being very sensitive about the obesity issue and non judgemental. His nurse has been extremely helpful and I also felt very comfortable with her as well, and with the Psychologist who works directly with him doing the pre psych exams. Dr. Rupp impressed me most because he believes that obesity is a disease and told us to stop feeling guilty or blaming ourselves and that we are good people who deserve help with this disease. He and his nurse and psychologist are very adament about going to the aftercare program and that is what sold me on having him as my surgeon. They offer a very extensive aftercare program and I will see the Dr. once a month after surgery for a year. Dr. Rupp went over how the surgeries have changed throughout the years and what the statistics are, and is very open and upfront about the risks involved. I look forward to meeting with him again just before my pre op exam.

Busy, detail oriented, good support staff. well organized program.
