Matthew Metz

"I can't say enough good things about Dr. Metz. When I first met him I thought maybe he's too young and hasn't had enough experience, but after my 2nd meeting with him, all doubts were gone. His training is the tops, and he's extremely skilled, not to mention, a really nice guy. When I left that second appointment, I had no doubts that he cared every bit as much about my well being as I did and that he was as good as any surgeon in the business. That was so comforting to me in those times when I got scared. rnrnWhen I got to the hospital, the staff there also spoke highly of Dr. Metz, and that says a lot.rnrnAs for my results, since I'm only a few days out, I can't speak of long term results, but in the short term, I've had no problems such as nausea or gas or any of the common things that many people report. I don't know if I was just lucky, or if there are techniques that the surgeon and anesthisiologist used to prevent such things. So far, the whole experience has been easier than I imagined. rnrnAs someone else mentioned, his office staff can be a little difficult on the phone, but they are great in person. I'm not sure what the problem is with the phone. I was interested in the VSG and they wanted to know why I would want to have THAT done and said they only did it for people who had no other options. This is NOT true. I almost didn't make an appointment after that, but I decided to go to an informational seminar and the presenter encouraged me to make an appointment with Dr. Metz to discuss it with him. I'm so glad I did. rnrnThe nutritionist and social worker were very helpful also, and a years worth of follow up is included with the surgery fee. rnrnSo, if you are considering Dr. Metz, I say do it. You will be very lucky to have him as your surgeon. He spends time to make sure all your questions are answered and he even answers e-mails!rnrn "
