Matthew A. Fitzer Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

1st step, approved from OHIP in less than 2 weeks!rn2nd step, meeting with Dr. Fitzer on Apr 25. Met with staff and Surgeon. First of all, waited so long for this app't. Phoned the day before to confirm, they never put my app't in his schedule. So, little frustrated. Having booked the day off from work, losing a day's pay. They luckily fit me in for 3:30. The nurse Michelle was wonderful, answered most of my questions, helped me feel at ease. Dr. Fitzer seemed knowledged and told me more than I already knew. And I studied! Surgery date: June 24.

The first time I met Dr. Fitzer I was immediatly comfortable. He was very knowledgeable and put me at ease. I had been to another local surgeon whose attitude was rude and condesending. Dr. Fitzer was the EXACT opposite. I did't not feel like a failure because I am opting to have the surgery. rn

My first impression of him was wonderful. He made me feel comfortable. He never once made me feel like a failure about my weight. His office staff was great also. I had issues with my insurance and they went right to work on it to get it resolved. All and all they were jut awesome. rnI have my check up soon and will let you know about his after care programs.

I loved my surgeon from the moment I met him. High energy, positive, smart (looking at the documents on his wall anyway !), and importantly up-to-date on latest (I knew this too from checking out the frames on the wall!).rnI wanted/like a doctor who is high energy, enthusiastic, knowedgeable, and a good teacher. Dr Fitzer was all those and more. He took all the time I wanted and answered every question I had (some more than once!!).rnI would recommend him to anyone considering this surgery.

Dr. Fitzer is very down to earth and extremely easy to talk with, his bedside manner was wonderful. He answered all of my questions and I didn't feel like Iwas just a patient or a number, he made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I would recommend anyone looking into this procedure, to look into Dr. Fitzer. The girls in the office were also very helpful , I think I called about a dozen times with questions after surgery and they were extremely helpful. Overall I would give this office the highest raring possible.

This is a wonderful surgeon! He has great bedside manners, visits like every day and is with you every step of the way on the day of your surgery.rnrnI highly reccommend him!

I've met with Dr. Fitzer recently and I'm very confident in him. He really took his time with me and answered some well aimed questions (thank you to the internet and info I was armed with) with ease...and slight surprise. His whole group is wonderful and I'm looking forward to talking to him again.
