St Francis Hospital
"My experience was terrific, they were always responsive to my every need, and they had an oversized chair that was wonderfull because I could sit and not touch the sides.. :-) "

Kenneth Printen
"Dr. Printen is a wonderful relaxing doctor. He makes you feel at ease when talking to him, and you feel very special. I was very nervous about discussing my weight with another doctor because all to often I felt talked down to, and depressed after words. Doctor Printen was the exact opposite. He made me feel like a person, and in fact a special one at that. He was very reassuring and warm. His office staff is great! In fact the woman running the office is a “wls” person too!! The only think I can say I did not like about Doctor Printen is that he only does OPEN procedures. He does not do LAP L I was a little bummed about that until I discussed it with him. Now I am fine with it ! If you are considering Doctor Printen, all I can tell you is RELAX.. he is terrific! Aftercare is almost more important to Doctor Printen. He has a support group that he encourages everyone to attend, he also pushes excersise all the time. I can not yet say how he is Post Op because I am not there yet.!! As far as the risks of the surgery. Doctor Printen was a streight shooter. He told me all the risks up front and while the mortality rte is a little scary. this is still worth the risk!! NO QUESTION!! Overall I believe I am in good hands with Doctor Printen, and I am excited about the future.."
