Anyone use Dr Hoehn in KS? How was your experience with him?

I had surgery with Dr. Hoehn 2 weeks ago. He is a great surgeon and I really like the practice and facilities He was recommended to me by a friend and my insurance. Good Luck!

I was very impressed with Hoehn pre-op. He openly answered all my questions and I never felt rushed. While I was a slow healer, I never had any complications. So, I consider the surgery a success.

That being said, expect to never see Hoehn again after your surgery. All his follow-up appointments are done by his Physician's Assistant, Tim. Tim has to run everything by Hoehn, so I never feel very confident of Tim's expertise. I've also seen Hamilton for post-op appointments (he's another bariatric surgeon at KC Bariatrics). I was VERY impressed with Hamilton! He was generally interested in figuring out why it took me 6 weeks to heal (I couldn't eat or drink anything during that time, in and out of the ER). Tim just kept telling me to give it time.

If I were to do it over again, I'd probably choose Hamilton just for his availability post-op. Though, I am going to start requesting Hamilton for post-op appointments.

I believe Hoehn is the most experienced with the sleeve in that facility. So, it's a hard choice to make.

Best of luck!!

Dr Hoehn did my sleeve last tuesday. I couldn't be happier. I'm 6 days post op and was back at work today. Hamilton did my EGD a few months ago and I'm sure I'll see Tim for for my follow up on Wednesday. I would highly recommend the facility to anyone. Wonderful staff. Oh, and down 19 lbs from the start of the grueling two week liquid diet. Great thing...for some reason because of this whole process, I now love water!!

I enjoyed Hoehn during my consult and have read great things about them. Their admin staff is terrible though. I have been trying for a week to get a call back. I am a week out from surgery and am starting to get nervous. I have questions that need answers!

I was supposed to get my surgery with Dr. Hoehn. After Aetna denied me for a small clerical error, my coordinator never returned my 2 dozen phone calls or dozen emails I sent her to ask how to fix it and resubmit. I spent a lot of money out of pocket for the egd and psych eval and all of that, and it really sucked to not get my surgery from them. I had to restart my 3 month nutrition plan with my new surgeon as well, because I could not get the info faxed over from my coordinator
