At first he seemed a little put off by all my quetions but he answered everything well and seemed on top of the information of the surgery and recent research on it.
After the surgary he was very hands on and helpfull and supportive.
The Cleveland Ber. Clinc staff have always been good and helpful.
After care is a huge part fo the whole thing, groups follow-ups and supports are never under played as part of the success to the proccess.
Excellent materials given on the path to my surgary and to recovery. Many with support systems and phone numbers of past clients.
At a 1- so so and 10 the best he's a 9.9.

Dr. Sonpal was very direct and discussed the risks of having the surgery. He also told me of the importance of after care. I thought that he was very informative and I was grateful for his directness.

First impression: was very down to busness.
Second visit he wanted to have me see another
physician to get scoped, to rule out any problems
lems I might have. I was sent to Dr. John Mar
shall, out of St. Vincents Hospital. I very
skilled physician who painlessly scoped me and
gave me great news that I was ok. I feel very
good about Dr. Schreiber,he was more worried about
my health and my future, to just jump into surgery
The thing I liked least about the doctor, nothing.
I will let you know about the aftercare program
as I go. Risk of surgery were addressed in a
preconsultation lecture and a hand out book written
by Dr. Schreiber were given to everyone. I would
rate Dr. Schreiber as a 10, his staff is a 10.
Being a nurse I put more improtance on surgical
competency, which I have been doing my home work
on and checking Dr. Schreiber out, I've talked
with other physicians, his patients, and I've
checked medical records. His manner was very
down to earth and caring.
As far as anything negative about my dealings
with Dr. Schreiber, I had to wait six months to
see him.

My firt impression : He was short and nice looking with a pleasent smile. He was soft spoken and very professionial. The office staff are all wonderful,professionial and are very good at their job. I really enjoyed Julie and what a warm and friendly lady she is. She really cares about you as a person and a patient and she's always there to help in any way she can. She is a true professional. these people are very imformative and explain everything about the surgery and there after. They call you at home to check on you, they really care about their patients.I would not trade any of these staff members for nothing !!

I was impressed with Dr. Sonpal from the first time I met him. He was so easy-going and made me feel at ease. He explained everything to me and answered all of my questions. He has a wonderful sense of humor!

I have only met him once. He was very straight forward and had a sense of humor. I liked the fact that he told you exactly what he thought about your medical condition. I like how he took the time to explain just exactly what the surgery would mean in the future in terms of 'exploratory surgery' for other medical conditions.

I like the face that he and Dr. Schreiber do this as a team and that they are both certiied in bariatric surgery.

My first impression of Dr. Schreiber was somewhat jaded. I had a co-worker go and have a consult with him and he said he was extremely friendly. I on the other had found him to be in a rush,and rather stand-offish. But the more I thought about it, he was doing the "cattle-call". You know the one, you have your consult, listen to all the information, then you get to speak with the surgeon for a few minutes. You and about 25 other people!!! So I understand his time is at a premium.
The office and support staff at CCBS has been wonderful. They really care and take the time to help you through whatever problems or questions you may have.
The staff at CCBS has been VERY informative. Anyhting and everything(and some you didn't even want to think about)was answered or asked. They told me of the risks, downfalls, drawbacks, exceptions, and of course the good things too!!!!!
I would rate CCBS so far, on a scale of 1-10 an 8. Not a perfect score because the wait is so long to get from the consultation stage to the actual surgery date.When I finally made the decision to go ahead with this surgery, I wanted it NOW!!!!! Not a few months from now. I have been carrying around this extra person for so long that I just want it gone now! hahaha

I liked him because he was easy to talk too.And he told you like it was he left nothing out. It's still the same for me I beleive in him and his work. He is very will spoken of by my own M.D. We haven't had a chance yet to because I go Nov.16, for some testing I beleive? Like I said I,m new at this also. So aftercare I will find out Nov.16. He said surgerys have some risk like any other surgery. I rate him as being good by what I hear. Both!!!!!o

Very informative, thorough. I feel very confident in this surgeon. Very serious about why/need for you to have surgery. Takes job very seriously. I had an intensive learning experience with the staff there, they tell you EVERYTHING A-Z, and answer any questions you have.
