Dean Comprehensive Bariatric Care Bariatric Center

Dr. Sunby is a direct and to the point kind of guy. The office staff is always helpful and they promptly return calls. Aftercare is HUGE with the Dean weight management program. They provide you with a list in the beginning of the process to point out how often you are required to return AFTER surgery. Dr. Sunby and other staff are quick to explain the risks of this surgery. I highly reccomend Dr. Sunby and the Dean Weight Management Program.

Dr Sunby is a wonderful doctor. Very straight forward with what complications I may have. I am having a revision of the bypass surgery, wishes he would have done the original one. He cares very much for his patients, making sure they get the best care needed. All I have to say is thank god for Dr Sunby. I know with him I am in good hands.

I have not had my surgery yet, it is 3 weeks away. I have met with my surgeon twice and he is wonderful. He has a great bedside manner. He shook my hand and made great eye contact throughout the appointment. He recongized the work i had done so far and complimented me on it. he was very honest and spent alot of time talking with me. He asked if i had any questions and he made sure he answered each and everyone before we were through. He gave me his card and told me not to hesitate to call him if i had more questions. he made me feel good about my decison and he told me he was confident i could do this. He really stressed the aftercare program and the importance of follow up. I have already attended a couple of support groups and they have been wonderful. Each and every person i have encountered during this process have been amazing. I was instantly comfortable with these people, they made it so easy. I would definetly recommend Dr. Huepenbecker and his entire staff. I will let you know more after the surgery. I know that they some a review probably can't be 100% positive, but my is so far, i have no complaints...i have not had my surgery yet.

My first impression of Dr Sunby was great and it hasn't changed. He is down to earth, easy to understand and just makes a person feel comfortable about who they are. He was very straightforward when he talked about the risks of surgery. I will update more on Dr Sunby after my surgery is done. But as far as preop goes I couldn't ask for someone to make me feel more comfortable going into this. rnrn04/13/2007 I forgot to come back and update this after surgery but I will do it now. rnDr Sunby and his staff and St Marys Hospital were all great through the surgery procedure and after. I have nothing bad to say about any of them. Would recommend Dr Sunby to anyone.

Dr Sunby is a wonderful surgeon that cares about his patients. He always answered my questions and has been honest with me at all times. I have a lot of respect for him. He has the best staff a surgeon can want, his nurse Judy is wonderful and the group of people that are part of the Dean clinic are great to work with. theresa and Gil are wonderful and my Nutritionist is a very caring woman that is there to educate you about the choices you need to make before surgery and after surgery. He is not Dr. Keil so I don't expect small talk from him. I do make him laugh so I kow he listens to what I say. You are going to be in very capable hands if he does your surgery. He emphasizes and all around program that mean a lot of follow ups with the team. He is very honest about all the risk this surgery brings I really enjoyed that about him. He explained the surgery to me and told me from the beggining what he was going to do. I would rate him at a 10+ as a surgeon. His surgical competence is amaizing his bedside manner with me was great but as he gets to know me better I think it will improve. I do believ the team aproach they have at Dean Care is the way to go.

My surgeon was awesome! I felt very comfortable with my live and lively hood in his hands. Although I did not have too much contact with him, he did have a PA named Adrian that was great. They both knew what they were talking about and were very compassionate to my family when they came out to talk to them. The whole weight loss program that Dean Care has is great and I highly recommend it to anyone in the Madison, Wisconsin area.

Dr. Sunby and his staff are great! The program through the Dean Clinic is so thorough and educational. They cover everything you need to know about the surgery, preop info and post op info. I can't say enough about the staff and education they provided. St. Mary's hospital is where I had the surgery and the staff there was excellent too.

Dr. Heupenbecker is great. He really is passionate about this part of his practice. He gave me realistic expectations about the surgery outcomes. He is an active listener and addressed all of my questions/concerns. His office staff is also very nice. His nurse Jan always called me back in a timely manner and was able to also answer my questions. He is very adimant about aftercare and makes it clear before surgery that he is starting the process but will not if the patient does not make the committment to aftercare.
His bedside manner is also very impecable. He came to see me every morning and was very encouraging.

Dr. Huepenbecker has been a great surgeon. He is very personable, very honest, and I sense his desire to see people get healthy. He felt very strong about the after-care and did a great job of telling me about risks etc. I can't think of anything I didn't like about him. I was very impressed with how he teams up with Dr Sunby during the surgery to make sure they are doing it the way it is supposed to be done. I rate him excellent and feel not only is he a competent surgeon but also has good bedside manner.
