"I was very impressed with Dr, Schram. He answered questions and gave me information that the other doctors I had seen did not.rnI have only met him once but have an appointment for pre-op testing on January 14. rnThe staff at the Barix Clinic were so nice. They made me feel welcome and really quite special.rnI really can't remember anything I didn't like about the doctor. I found him to be very straightforward and honest about everything, including the risks. He did put my mind at ease though by his confident manner. I have complete confidence in him and I believe he has just as much confidence in himself, that made me feel good. rnAlthough bedside manner is important, I would rate surgical competence much higher. I do think Dr, Schram has both, fortunately for his patients.rnI am sure there is a structured aftercare program but since I have not had my surgery yet, i will learn more about that later.rn*********************************rnMonday morning, I was being prepped for surgery and the clock was directly in fornt of me where I could watch it. As it got closer and closer to 10 AM, the butterflies in my stomach got worse. Then the doors opened and there stood my hero, Dr. Jon Schram. He said something like, \"Well, barbara, are you ready to start your new life?\" Then he took my hand in his and PRAYED! I have never felt such a sense of calm in my life! My surgery went very well and I have had no problems. rnI would recommend this wonderful man to anyone! "
