My surgeon was Dr. Terrence Clarke from Ellis Hospital Bariatric Center in Schenectady, NY. I have been very pleased with Dr. Clarke and the entire staff. There are three surgeons in the practice and each has a great reputation. I chose Dr. Clarke because he was the surgeon for a friend of mine in the health care profession and came highly recommended. The practice is rated as a Bariatric Center of Excellence; only about 5% of all bariatric practices have this distinction. Besides being a great surgeon, what I liked about Dr. Clarke was his effort to always make sure I knew exactly what was going on or what was going to happen, always asked me if I had any additional questions or concerns, and made a point of checking in with me pre-op and several times post-op while I was still in the hospital. I never got the impression that he was rushed although I know he is a very busy doctor. The office staff, nurses and physician's assistants at the practice are also equally caring and professional. It has been a great experience all the way around. As for the hospital itself, I had a great experience. The OR staff was great to me just before I went in for surgery. I think the care I got while in the hospital for two days after surgery was terrific. The nurses were on top of everything -- getting me up to walk, checking my vitals, making sure I wasn't in pain, etc. The hospital is under construction but I was fortunate to be in one of the newer wings which was very nice. All in all, I would more than happy recommending Dr. Clarke and Ellis Hospital to anyone considering weight loss surgery.

My surgeon is Dr. Jeff Baker. http://bakerbariatrics.com/ I had may trials and tribulations before ending up at the office of Dr. Baker. I must say I am very happy that things worked out they way they have. Dr. Baker has been nothing short of wonderful, compassionate, and, oh yeah,...a skilled surgeon! I can't say enough good things about my care so far!!!

My surgeon was Dr. James Foote of Grand Health Partners in Grand Rapids, MI. My surgery was done at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Rapids. Both the surgery and the hospital were absolutely top notch. I would recommend them to anyone in or near the western Michigan area.
