"Dr. Rohrer performed both my father's surgery and my own. Both of us received a lap band, though my father would have been a prime candidate for a gastric bypass. My father however, would not have gone through the surgery if this were the case, and Dr. Rohrer was accepting of this decision once he felt it was well thought out. I love Dr. Rohrer because he is just confident enough to know he's a great surgeon, but not too cocky that his bedside manner is anything but great. On the day of my father's surgery, his second surgery of \"everything went wrong\". By this, Dr. Rohrer explained that there were unforeseen complications during surgery, but the patient made it out without any problems and with the band in. This caused significant delay in the time of surgery, but Dr. Rohrer addressed this when my father went back to prep for surgery and it was actually comforting to know that he had seen things go wrong and just fixed them on the go. The staff is friendly and always giving of information, and the anesthesiologists are used to working with very big people. I was 400+ lbs. and my father much more than that at time of surgery. Aftercare is emphasized, and post-operative fills are scheduled upon dismissal of the hospital. The risks of surgery were addressed clearly and with no mincing of words. I would choose to use him for general surgery if I could and ever needed him again. I personally find his demeanor comforting and those that know him outside of the doctor's office have indicated a great level of respect/like of him. If anywhere near Montana, this is the doctor I would choose, especially if grossly obese. In fact, for my father's surgery, he was willing to travel anywhere in the U.S. to have the surgery, but felt abundantly comfortable with Rohrer. "
