Dean Comprehensive Bariatric Care Bariatric Center

He seemd compastionate. But i also got the impression he was just doing his job. Even though i have only seem him once so far i am still nervous about the upcoming surgery.
I do however have to ability and drive to get through this and i know and trust that he will be the surgery that i need.
I have went to support groups and have asked alot of questions.

Dr Sunby is not like all doctors, he cares about you the patient. He is a very through man and lays out exactly what he expects out of you and tells you all the facts up front. He is very quick and to the point, no fooling around, what he does is serious stuff and he is very knowledgable in his field. On my three month check up Dr Sunby was just as sweet as the first visit I had with him. The first words out of his mouth were, How ya doing skinny? That made me feel like a million dollars, that was the first time a doctor ever said that to me. His nurse Judy is truely wonderful. She was very helpful with the process with insurance and stayed right on top of things and always called back promptly. Dr Sunby is very detailed on what to expect before surgery and what he expects of you after surgery. The weeks prior to surgery I was so nervous and seems like had new questions everyday, I would call Judy with my concerns and Dr sunby would call me back the same day and answer all my questions and help me with pre-surgery jitters. During my hospital stay he checked on me and made sure that I was getting ever thing that I needed, his beside manner was great and he listened to everything I said. He knows what he is doing, I would highly recomended him.

I feel truly blessed to have had Dr. Huepenbecker as my surgeon. I first met him in April, 2002, before he had begun doing bariatric surgery. He was very open and honest about his role in my surgery, as well as my role post-op. Because of his clinic/hospital delaying beginning the surgery, and insurance issues, I spoke to his nurse, Jan, at least once a week. She was always very friendly, and never made me feel like I was bothering them. Dr. Huepenbecker is a very straight-forward person, and emphasized that this surgery is only the beginning - the hard work comes afterward. He is also a very confident, competent surgeon and put me at ease, as well as my husband. My surgery was scheduled as a Lap, but was converted to Open during surgery. Dr. Huepenbecker scrubbed and came out of the OR to tell my family before he began the Open RNY. I saw him every day when he came to my hospital room. He even came in on his day off (the day I was released) to see how I was doing! He never glossed over the risks of the surgery, but always left me with the feeling that he could do it, and so could I. I am so grateful to him for his skill and confidence that I could lead a better life after the surgery. He is my Angel!

Dr. Sunby is great. He is patient and has a great bedside manner. His nurse Judy is great and always has time to take or return my calls promptly. He has a structured plan for his patients both before and after surgery. Very competent and clear about what he expects of you. Works very closely with his colleague and has good success with both surgery and patient outcomes. I would highly recommend.

He has been very helpful with giving me information on the surgery. He also gives you a book that was wrote by a person that had the bariatric surgery. He performs it through laproscopic which is a big plus to me. The after care you get from him however to put it in plain terms sucks. I am switching over to Dr. Garren even though he is out of the network. He seems to be very up and more willing to follow up on things after surgery. If it wasn't for my sister I would probably be dead right now or at least brain dead because of this surgeon. These are just my own personal impressions however I feel strongely about them...

I think Dr. Sunby is a wonderful doctor. He has been very supportive throughout my ordeal. His staff is very supportive as well.

very professional
