Raymond Drew Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

Dr. Drew is an amazing doctor! I am so pleased after having surgery how wonderful I feel. He is kind, caring and helpful in making you become successful in your journey. You have to do your part too, but I promise follow the direction of the staff and your doctor and you will be successful. I feel like I recieved a new life and I am so thankful to Dr. Drew and his wonderful staff. Thanks everyone in the Bariatric clinic!

Dr. Drew is simply amazing. I couldn't have wished for a better experience both with him and his staff. I'm almost 1.5 years out from surgery and I haven't hit a single bump in the road. The aftercare is fantastic, especially with Liz the nutritionist. Keep going to those nutrition appointments, even though they become optional. It's always good to have someone making sure you're eating and drinking the right stuff. Again, can't say enough for Dr. Drew and his practice. Just one note, you don't really see him too much after surgery. Most of the aftercare is done by bariatric nurses. I only saw him again at my 1 year appt.

I completed my surgery on Feb 15, 2010. on my per-surgery interview, I didn't just have questions, I was in poor physical shape and had a lot of fears. Dr Drew spent the extra time to address each and every issue I had.
I followed Dr Drews instructions and lost 50 lbs before surgery.My recovery has been relatively straight forward. I knew what to expect and what to do to be sucessful. The program has worked very well (other than the dumb maneuvers I have put myself through.)
Only choose Dr Drew if you want the very very best.

I will meet with Mr. Drew on 2-4-10. I need to have revisional surgery because eventhough my 1st surgery RNY and surgent was great I only lost 65lbs but gain back 30 of those lbs for 9-14-06 to now 2-1-10. I wish I could use Jeff Baker but I currently have insurance that do not have him as a provider. I have heard great reviews for Mr. Drew but it's how I feel when I am discussing my case and concerns with him. I am very optismic about my case and new doctor and I hope we will be a very good fit because 1st impresssions are a killer ok just important and can show the character of a person.

My first impression of Dr Drew... that he is busy very professional and good at his job and informing you with the information that you need. Biggest point I asked some hard questions and he gave me an honest answer.rnrnrnHow did my impression change over time...the next time I saw him we had more of a dr pt connection we joked and laughed. rnrnOffice staff...AMAZING from the front desk to the back staff everyone is friendly and they always remember my name.rnrnAftercare.. aftercare is engrained in every staff member they will work hard to get you there to get you the best care and resultsrnrnAftercare program..they have a good solid aftercare program.rnrnDr Drew is a 10 both surgical competence and bedside mannerrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnrn

Dr. Drew is amazing!! He is patient, kind, and very concerned with making sure you are prepared for this life change!! He took great care of me!

Thanks Dr. Drew for giving me my life back!!

I had worked at the hospital years back and had heard Dr. Drew's name thrown around quite a bit, so when it came time to pick a surgeon, I just went with what I knew. I'm glad I did! He was funny, warm, genuine, and very thorough. The office staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. I was told the risks of surgery and signed consent forms at my initial consult. I think a good surgeon has equal parts surgical competence and bedside manner and Dr. Drew is the epitome of that! I feel blessed to have such a talented group of people on my side.

Dr. Drew is so calming and soft spoken. He is a true professional and I am so happy my surgery is being done by him!

I like Dr. Drew a lot, he is very caring and willing to listen and make good choices for his patients.
