I met Dr. Schmitt today. Like so many others I think he looks young. He answered every question I asked. Was very supportive in explaining the need for me to have open RNY instead of the lap. He went into detail about what to expect post-op. I felt very comfortable with him.
His entire staff was very helpful. Even though the waiting room was packed I was in an out in an hour.It really helps to have prior medical records already in the office. Anything you can do before you see them will help get you an earlier date.
This practice really focuses on pre-op,post-op care. They really go into detail about the risks. But if you have done your homework you will be prepared. I suggest to every one-----research, research, research. Be an imformed consumer.
There was only one negative thing I felt. Being as efficient as their staff is you may feel like they are shuffling you around like cattle. But it is quick. Remember this is my personal opinion."
"Dr Stone has been treating me for nearly 3 yrs now. He was extremely pleased that I was interested in having it. I spoke with him when I first started reaserching WLS. Obesity is a big problem among the mentally ill so he is very supportive in any weight loss effort."
"Dr Schmitt is very thorough in her exam. She found a few problems and will work on them after my surgery. I was impressed that she developed the program used other sleep study docs for this surgery."
