Summa Health System Hospital

Dr. Dan is SO kind and so compassionate. I am so thankful for him (and his entire team) for making my process pre & post op as smooth as possible. I’m a month post op and I’ve healed up beautifully, thin scars and no issues. I can not say enough good things about him. He is truly a blessing to me and I’m so grateful that I chose him as my surgeon!

UPDATE POST SURGERY:
I'm a little more than three months out and I am still very happy with my ongoing relationship with Pozsgay and the Bariatric team at Summa Health. As my surgery date approached I had a great opportunity to take a job in another city. The staff at Summa worked with me to help me bridge the both the physical move out of the area post surgery, and the insurance changes that came with it. I like Dr. Pozsgay and the staff at Summa so much, I continue to drive up to Akron for my follow-up appointments even though it's a higher deductible for me to pay.

PRE SURGERY REVIEW
I'm a patient of Dr. Pozsgay and I'm planning on having the RNY surgery spring of 2017. I noticed there was only one review for this surgeon so I wanted to add a little information for those interested. I am a very careful consumer of healthcare. I work in the industry as an auditor, working closely with legal and compliance departments so I see the "good/bad&ugly" that happens at even the very best hospitals. I choose Dr. Pozsgay because he is one of several top surgeons in the Summa Health system, and he has an excellent reputation for being a thoughtful, careful, extremely competent physician who puts his patients health first period. He is respected within his department, and his field, and most telling to me, among the surgical staff that work with him daily.

I am very careful in my selection of physicians, especially surgeons, and I feel very fortunate to have access to such a great surgeon, here at Akron City Hospital (Summa Health).

Basically, I'm just doing a bit of an update. On September 1st, it will be 7 years since my surgery with Dr. Dan, and even though I haven't been to my follow ups due to not having health insurance, I am still doing great. A lot has happened in my life both good and bad, but I'm still doing well. In the last 3 years I have noticed a bit of a weight re-gain of almost 20 pounds, but I know this is normal and I am getting back on track now to get back down to my goal. I still take my vitamins every day and getting in my 100 grams of protein a day. Soon I will have health insurance through my new job and the first thing I am doing is making an appointment to see Dr. Dan..... My weight loss journey is still going forward. Life is truly beautiful and such a blessing and still today, almost 7 years later....I still have Dr. Dan to thank for saving me. He is truly amazing!

I have just started on this journey, but I truly cannot say enough good things about Dr Z and his staff at Summa. Dr Z is is positive, upbeat, encouraging, and supportive. I met with Dr Wells for the first time today, and boy I was blown away. Someone who truly understands the struggle. He was so knowledgeable, and encouraging. I am looking forward to working closely with both of these remarkable men.

Dr. Adrian Dan and the Summa Bariatric staff are awesome! They all beam these great, genuine smiles because they clearly enjoy what they do. Dr. Dan has this confidence level about him that makes it hard not to believe him when he tells you everything will be OK. But he was right, it was OK. Thursday, September 3, 2015 was my life-change day. Yesterday was my first post-op visit with Dr. Dan, and he said I was doing great, and past the period of major complications. Woohoo! I got the drain out, and that was a weird relief, as well as stitches removed. And the flowers in the hospital room after surgery were lovely, and a nice touch. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Dan, for being who you are, so you can help those like me, who need you.

I had my RU N Y surgery done Feb of 2014 and have lost 119 lbs. since then and no longer have to take insulin. Dr. Dan and the team at Summa Bariatric Care Center are professional highly skilled individuals and very caring. I received top notch care and compassion and learned all I need to know to be successful going forward in my journey to better health and weight loss success. Dr. Dan is a highly trained and skilled surgeon and the nurses gave me optimal care post surgery. I even got flowers from Dr. Dan after surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Dan and the Bariatric Center at Summa Health System to anyone contemplating Gastric Bypass . I had a great experience!

I've really been glad to have Dr. Dan. He has a nice and comforting bedside manner and he did my two surgeries without any problems. I like the office staff very much as well. Competent and caring.

My first impression of Dr. Dan was that he was nice and so was the staff at Akron City Bariatric Center. Dr. Dan's surgical competence and bedside manner are both great. A structured aftercare plan is very much emphasized...it is the key to success!!! I would recommend Dr. Dan and the Akron City Bariatric Team.
