"My impression of Dr. Sprunger was that this was the first doctor that I have ever met to understand that this is something we need help with. This is something that will get better- diets work for people who need to loose a little amount of weight. But being so far ahead and so beaten down by my weight- I need a tool to help me. Scottsdale Bariactric is an amazing facility. The people are all specially trained in this area- all the nurses and CNAs included. The whole level in the hospital is special for these procedures. The chairs are bigger, the beds are wider- you feel normal. The only slight complaint I would have is that it is hard to be flexible with Blackstone/Sprunger just because they are so wanted and pursued by so many. When they set your appointment its hit or miss. They are extremely knowledgeable in aftercare. They have a nurse on call 24/7 if you ever have any questions. You get books and books of suggestions and directions. Not to mention the seminars are very impressive- you can watch them online! They do stress the risk of the surgery. And with the severe complications I had with the surgery- Dr. Sprunger impressed me even more. He cancelled all other surgeries and did not go home for 48 hours until they found what was wrong. And when he did- they fixed it right way. Overall, Sprunger and his staff are the ones that put the standards high."
