"Johns Hopkins Bayview was a great choice for me. They have a great reputation and that makes it a little easier to trust them. My overall experience was very good. "
"After much study, fear and trepidation, I had Laparascopic RNY with Dr Schweitzer on April 3, 2007. I originally wanted the Lap Band surgery, but was told that I did not have the right body type for that particular WLS. I am so glad that I chose him to do my surgery. Though he is not the most personable doctor I've ever met, his experience and expertise in WLS speaks for itself. His surgical competence far exceeds many others in his field. The surgery itself went great though I did have to spend the first night in the SICU because I have sleep apnea but do not use my CPAP machine. The SICU unit at Johns Hopkins Bayview seems a little chaotic at times, but I guess that was to be expected. Once I moved upstairs to the 6th floor, everything was much better. I had the greatest nurses there on the 6th floor. Natashia and Morning were my nurses that evening and I can not say enough about them. The were definitely a God send. Dr. Schweitzer and his nurse Pat Jordan are great . His office staff on the otherhand is not very attentive at all. They are almost impossible to get a hold of and they do not return phone calls which is very frustrating. I would definitely recommend Dr Schweitzer to anyone considering WLS. If you want the best he is definitely your man. "
