Dr. Keith is a very nice individual who is willing to answer any questions you may have and seems very helpful.

I only have one complaint about Dr. Keiths staff and that is that they never seem to return your phone calls. I have had to recall them everytime I've needed information.


Dr. keith has you attend a seminar with him and his staff prior to your first appointment and at this time goes over the various types of surgery available, the risks, the possible results and lots of other information is given at the seminar.

I met Dr. Keith through my job as a registered nurse.Dr.Keith is a very caring and competent surgeon.His staff is very helpful.I was very impressed with Dr. Keith's compassion for his patients.I had a problem about four weeks post-op and Dr. Keith was very understanding and had his nurse call me at home to check on my condition.I have had no negatve experiences with Dr. Keith so far and would recommend him to anyone considering WLS.Dr. Keith requires extensive work-ups prior to surgery and afterwards.I am very pleased with my decision to use Dr.Keith

He was excellent from the beginning. His bed side manner is so comforting. He truly cares about his patients. He has had AGB done and has done really good with it so he is very encouraging. He has an excellent staff and they are very helpful with any questions you have. His pre-op and post-op programs are very good.

Very professional and caring. Will give you honest answers. Office staff have excellent knowledge, skills and abilities (hard to find everywhere). Aftercare program important part of his program. Thouroughly explains Everything about the procedure. I would rate Dr. Keith a 10+. Great bedside manner. Nothing negative to say.

I am very impressed with Dr. Keith. I have not had my surgery as of yet, but so far everything has went very well. Dr. Keith's staff have been very helpful. There is so many appointments to go to before and after the surgery, I feel the whole program is helpful to my overall well being.
Dr. Keith is my hero, He has given me my life back. During the last 6 1/2 months Dr. Keith has asked me to follow some very simple rules. These rules are there to make my journey successful. Thank you Dr. Keith every day is a new day.

My first impression of him was that he looked as though he would be hard on you if you didn't follow the guidelines after surgery. But then I watched him as he watched his Post-op patients give their stories to us at the seminar, he looked so happy to see that they are happy. As time went on in the seminar I could see that he absolutely is a caring Dr. and individual. He wants you to succeed and be happy and he will be there for you every step of the way. I can't wait to meet him for our face to face consult. He is really big on the aftercare. He pushes the support groups really hard which is good, because we all need support in this. Overall, I'm so happy I picked him to do my surgery. I can tell it's going to be a great relationship!

Dr. Keith is a wonderful person. He seems to want to work with you on whatever is needed. His staff is very helpful, but very busy. He has a very strong emphasize on aftercare. And is very determined to help get his patients to where they need and want to be. I just could not say enough good things about Dr. Ronnie Keith!!

I guess I should tell you all that I researched bariatric surgery for about 2 years before I decided I wanted to do it. In the course of this research, I attended a symposium given by Norman Regional Hospital (here in Norman, Oklahoma) and Doctor's Keith and Spector. I knew Dr. Spector's name, he is very well respected in this community and highly sought out for many different procedures. But I didn't know Dr. Keith.
All that changed the night I attended the symposium. I liked both doctors, but made an immediate connection with Dr. Keith. He seemed to truly understand the difficult decisions and choices facing me. He took the time to answer some of my questions and I made an appointment to begin my weight loss surgery process. I was very pleased that the doctor chosen for me by the hospital was Dr. Keith.
His office staff is awesome! Patient, kind, caring and highly dedicated to helping us succeed in our weight loss.
Every single concern I had was addressed in depth and nothing hidden from me. I KNEW what to expect and was prepared for the changes my life was about to take.
The program is so comprehensive and so incredibly helpful to the bariatric patient. It is geared to provide every Avenue necessary to succeed. Patient history, personal history, physical history was ALL addressed comprehensively PRIOR to surgery. Then we had Support Group to further assist us in being successful.
The day of surgery, I was TERRIFIED! I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't, but Dr. Keith assured me he would take care of me and he and Dr. Spector did.
The staff and the hospital was good, very caring and very attentive to our needs. The only problem I had was that the dietary guidlelines weren't known (evidently) by the cafeteria and I had to remind the staff that I could not eat like that any more. Other than that I felt pampered. I was in the hospital 3 days and 2 nights.
It is 10 months later and I have lost well over 120 pounds. I am healthy, happy and extremely grateful. I could not have done it without Dr. Keith, Dr. Spector and the entire Norman Regional Hospital Staff, including our support group leader, Carrie Watson.
My story is not unique, many, many people have similiar stories of success and thankfulness...

Very nice person and a caring Doctor. I really don't know to much yet about him right now.He did explain the risks as will as the advanages at our firt meeting. I am waiting to have surgery on Apria 28 so will find out about aftercare and the hospital. So far the people in the hospital seem to be very caring and really concerned about you. Dr. Kieth does seem to take great care of his people making sure they go to meetings to met others who have had this surgery.

I loved Dr. Keith since the first time I made an appointment with him and my opinion has not changed. Dr. Keith and his staff have always been right there when ever I needed anything. He has the best bedside manner of ANY Dr. I have ever met. I think the most important thing to know about Dr. Keith is that he understands and he will always be there for us. The aftercare is a huge part of his program and he really wants you to be a part of it including the support meetings. Dr. Keith makes so sure that you know EVERYTHING about your surgery that when I went in for surgery I was not nervous at all and felt that I could almost do it myself. I can not say enough about Dr. Keith.
