Sanjoy Dutta Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr. Dutta is a wonderful doctor. He's very informative and answers all your questions. I really have no compliants. The staff there at Fremont are the best. They all really care about you as a person. As far as after care, they make sure you are doing all that they tell you to do. It's very important and they stress Protein and excercise. The only negative thing I can say about my stay in the hospital is that I didn't get a pitcher of water until the morning I was leaving. Not that I could drink that much anyways. But other than that I had a great experience.

the doctor was very informative and answered every question I had. the office staff was very accomadating with appointment changes and the whole experience so far has been a challange and a new beginning.
the doctor made it a point to tell me about other patient complications so if he had to change the type of surgery he was doing, it was because of my safety. He did stress taking time to heal and follow instructions to ensure my success long term.
I am looking forward to having my surgery done wih great care. He is rated a 10 with me.

Dr. Dutta is fabulous. When I first got my approval letter, I checked out his website and wanted him as my surgeon. He was very nice, answered every question I had, and just generally a great person. Not only did my surgery go well, but Dr. Dutta has a wonderful bedside manner. He called me the day after I got home to check on me. I truly consider myself very lucky to have him as my surgeon.

I found DR Dutta to be very caring, gentle, and truly interested in helping me to become healthier. He is very understanding of my whole situation and I feel confident that he will do his best to make my life better. I felt that he listened to my complaints and consernes and addressed them in a way that I could understand.

Nancy, the case coordinator, is very helpful. She has returned all of my calls promptly. She is very interested in setting up Kaiser/Fremont's new Bariactric program to run smoothly. If she didn't have the answers to my questions, she told me who to speak to and how to reach them.

This program allows the doctors to get all types of testing done on an individual basis to make each person as safe for the surgery as possible. The aftercare here is set up to be very good. DR Dutta is continuing to add info to his website that will help all PCP's and ER doctors to treat WLS patients when problems arise.

The waiting between the 12 steps to WLS is long, but, I feel that it helps us to have a chance to get all of our chickens in a row before we commit ourselves to the knife.All in all, I would say this new program is doing a super job.

Dr. Dutta and Dr. Dennen will both be doing my surgery they are both very nice and friendly. The staff I have met have been very helpful and prompt. Aftercare is very important at this office and we get lots of info on it. There is a very structured aftercare program they have appointments often after surgery and even give you a timed meal plan for the first 4 weeks so there is no mistaking what needs to be done. The surgery risks were discussed honestly and explained well. So far I would say both Drs. are a perfect 10 but I wont know for sure until after surgery. I think bedside manner and surgical competence go hand and hand without one how can you be confident about the other. I couldn't trust my life to a DR who was not friendly or competent in doing his job.
