Dr. Seger is the BEST!

My first impression was that he was very nice and good looking. I would rate Dr. Seger a 10+! He is the best thing that ever happened to me. He is kind, caring, and professional. He always takes the time to answer my questions and give encouragment! He explained everything in detail and so did his staff. I had surgery before which made the surgery more difficult, but Dr. Seger still did it lathroscopicly. He did not just take the easy way out and do it open. I really appreciated the extra time he took to insure my quick return to work. (I am a teacher and I had to return to work two weeks after surgery.) He is the greatest and I highly recommend him. His practice is called New Dimensions Weightloss here in San Antonio Texas. Him and his partners are top notch!

My first impression of Dr Duperier is wow hes as young if not younger than me it looks. He's a very straightforward doctor who seems extremely nice and will be very easy to follow up post op with. Not only can you leave msgs for him at his office but you can email him with any questions or concers not that Ive had to because his staff is great and take care of everything including questions or concerns I have had. Ok had to add a note post op Doctor D is amazing the surgery was over before I knew it and he visited me ever day in the hopsital and was very encouraging.

I went to the seminar and Dr.Seger was the one explaining the procedure. I was so impressed with his presentation that I made my decision that evening to use him. I am a nurse and I was so impressed with his ability to make a crowd of people understand the procedure and use laymans terms. He didn't use big five dollar words, he explained things so that you didn't have to be in the medical field to understand him. Also, he spoke with conviction and compassion about his ability to change lives. He didn't belittle anyone. See it has been my experience to be harrased by medical professionals about being overweight.

My first impression of Dr D was "Young" however choosing him as my surgeon was a wise one
The staff at New Dimentions is wonderful professional yet fun.
I refer and will continue to refer to Dr D
His aftercare is A+++++ his bedside manner is wonderful. Dr D Doesn't put rose colored glasses on you and sell you snake oil he tells it like it is all the pro and cons.
He has given my the gift of health and for that I thank him. He even understands my sick sense of humor so that alone makes him the best. You can always get a smile out of him. He's one terrific person and a heck of Dr. I cannot say enough good things about him. Anyone wanting more info feel free to contact me.

Dr. Duperier agreed to see my after my original MD was unavailable. (Surgery needs to be done prior to the first of the year)Dr. Duperier is a very wise, straight forward physician with a great yet very serious demeanor.I was very comfortable with him, he gave me straight answers, no beating around the bush. Office staff was great (Pricilla,Yolanda & Claudia mainly) This group of doctors have a great program, before, during and after. When I had the VBG done in 1996 I did not have the education I got during this process.( and by no means I am putting down my first surgion, he was/is great) I have full faith in this group to help me. Dr. D saw me and now within two weeks I am set for surgery on 12/13/04 --- will post more then.

when i attended my first meeting, i was still not sure who my sergeon was going to be. i heard such wonderful things about Dr. Pilcher but he's waiting list was over 3 years . i had a one on one conversation with Dr. Duperier after the meeting and decided right away that he would be my surgeon. i saw him 2 other times before my surgery and i noticed right away that he wasn't the same person i was talking to when we first met. i still kept him because his waiting list wasn't as long and i had already gotten approved under his name. aside from the worst pain imaginable, my surgery went GREAT to this day 10 months later. when i went in for my 3 and 6 mth post op appt. he was too busy to see me which brought me litterally to tears. i took my 1 year old daughter with me so after waiting for hours chasing her around and not being able to see him at all was horrible for me. i have tried to contact him several times to either ask questions or find out my lab results and in 10 months he's only answered me once. he never returns my calls though the nurses swear he'll call me back within 5 min. since i don't have any madical problems ( XXXXX fingers cross ) it doesn't bother me as much. i know though that if he was more involve in my after care that i wouldn't be misbehaving on my diet as much as i do. i'm not blaming but since i'm the kind of person who needs recognition, it does affect my decisions.
he abviously did a remarkable job on my surgery which is what counts so i do recommend him if you're in the mood to beg (which you shouldn't have to ) for the aftercare attention.

First one-on-one meeting was 8/12/04. Dr Duperier seemed likeable and matter-of-fact. The clinic is very busy, but professional and courteous. Each person we interacted with answered our questions without making us feel foolish for asking. One of the first things the clinic staff told us was that we were now 'part of the family' and that aftercare was very important. Part of the prelim appointment is a review of the seminar material which includes information on the risks of surgery, benefits, new eating habits, and importance of lifetime follow-up due to changes in absorption of vitamins and minerals. The staff seemed to truly care about us (my husband went with me to ask questons) and the other patients we saw there at the clinic.

Will convey more info with additional visits and surgery.

Dr. Duperier is great. He seemed genuinely concerned about my thoughts and cares. He didn't make me feel like just another paycheck. His staff was efficient and helpful to me. Dr. Duperier is firm in his belief of aftercare and provides many options within his practice. He is upfront with the risks, without scaring the pants off of you. He's a 10 in all areas.

Dr. Duperier is one of the most wonderful people I've come into contact with, especially as a 13 year veteran of ICU nursing. I've dealt with many physicians before both as patient, nurse, and family of patient. He has a wonderful bedside manner. He appears very confident and knowledgeable. He is very understanding and he treats the nurses as professionals. This tells me he is the ultimate professional himself. I would recommend him to anyone, anyplace, anytime. When I first met him he appeared to be a little standoffish, but as I worked with him more, I found him to be warm and caring.
