I had Dr. Lautz as my bariatric surgeon. I did lots of reseach prior to selecting a physician. He is excellent excellent excellent at what he does. He spent all the time I needed when I went in for visits. The only draw back for his practice is his office personnel. The girls that would take me back into the exam room never spoke a word to me. Im a little over 2 years out and never had a positive experience with them. They would weigh me and then put me in the exam room, never saying a word to me. The girls at the front desk are pretty much the same way. The office manager is somewhat gruff, but incredible at what she does so I dont take points off for her. Overall, if you are looking for a warm fuzzy environment, dont go there.

My daughter had surg with Sheila Partridge at Newton Wellsley hosp. I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Not only is her doctor incredible, but the entire office staff are as well. Everyone is so committed to their practice and to helping people. It really shows. Im actually considering changing over to their practice. Not sure if they will take me or not. The awesome thing about Partridge is that you are a patient of hers for life. If you need anything else surgically done, you go to her. She always remembers my daughter, and myself when we go and see her. The hospital experience was completely different as well for her.

Please email me if you have any questions. Good luck!
