Bariatric & Metabolic Institute Bariatric Center

I ADORE DR SCHAUER, NOT ONLY IS HE REALLY EASY ON THE EYES HE IS A COMPLETE SWEETHEART AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN REAL KIND AND HONEST WITH ME. HE HAS MADE ME COMPLETELY RELAXED AND CONFIDENT ABOUT THE SURGERY THAT HE RECOMMENDED FOR ME. CANT SAY MUCH FOR HIS NURSE TAMMY BUT DR SCHAUER IS THE BEST.

My first impression of Dr LeBlanc was No one is this happy all the time but he is. The staff are excellant and go above the call of duty to help you. I love Dr LeBlanc, he saved my life. He sees me every 3 months unless I need him. All I can say id Dr LeBlanc and his staff are wonderful and they did everything that was possible to help me and they still do. His office holds support meetings once a month.

Dr. Hausemann was wonderful from the first meeting and has continued to be that way.rnrnSix weeks --Dr. H continues to be great. He is supportive and encouraging.

I loved my surgeon Dr. Schauer, he was kind, but very professional! I however, was not impressed with SOME of the staff! They lost some of my paperwork, SOME of them were rude and very unhelpful. But, the majority of the staff was great!

I had researched Dr. Schauer's credentials on the internet, and was very pleased with what I had read about him. I also read the comments from his former patients on his qualifications for a bariatric surgeon, and found all or most of them to be excellent. I, informally, met Dr. Schauer when he popped in for a few minutes during my orientation for WLS surgery to answer some questions from people who joined me at this orientation. Then, I met him, personally, just a few days ago when I had my first consultation with him concerning my test results and a very informative session on the surgery, and he answered all of the questions I had written down to ask him. He couldn't stress enough the importance of exercise to help with my weight loss. (almost blowing the speaker in my mini tape recorder I brought with me...remember me now, doc??) And I did agree to say nice things about him on this website, but, doc....my 3 hour wait for you in the waiting room was a little toooo much. But I guess it was worth the long wait, because you scheduled my surgery that day for July 1st. That made my day!

he was very informative and knowledgeable.rnBEST OF ALL HE HAS A GREAT BEDSIDE MANNER. He seems to really care about his patients, I had some problems with pain after surgery and he never made me feel like I was crazy or a burden to him. he would come everyday sometimes twice a day to see me and tell me \"we just want to get you better\" And he's also had to put up with my husbands corny jokes!rnEveryone in his office is great. They are really attentive and there is not one time Ive called and someone has not gotten right back to me.rnHis greatest, that's been through this whole thing is Dr. H's nurse Amy she help to take care of my whole approval process. She has a special place in my heart!

Dr Schauer is a fantastic doctor. I had gastric sleeve surgery in June 2007, and now I am going to have the bypass surgery next week. Dr Schauer is a kind, compassionate, and highly skilled man who loves what he does.rn

I like my surgeon when I met him the first time and my feeling never changed about him. He was sure about what he wanted to do and up front about things and let me knwo where I stood for surgery. I love his staff. They are there for you all the time. Not a problem with any on them. What anyone should know about my surgeon is that he knows what is is doing and you can tell that be talking to him. My aftercare from my surgeon was little because I think he had alot of panient and he was very busy. I did see and talk to him but not as much as I seen his helper Dr. Pitt. Yes he talk to me about everything and I knew what I was getting myself into before surgery. Would tell anyone to have Dr. Schauer do your RYN.

Dr. LeBlanc is a top notch surgeon. My Lap RNY was scheduled for 2 hours and I was only in surgery for about 1 & 1/2 hours. He is knowledgeable and caring. His staff is wonderful, namely Amy & Josette. No matter how many times I called they were ALWAYS caring and helpful and if they had a bad day, I never knew.rnrnWhat confirmed to me that Dr. LeBlanc was a wonderful guy and surgeon was at my pre-op appt. They were running late and were obviously very busy. He walks in with a huge genuine smile on his face and says ,\" I am so sorry about your wait. Today is my follow up day for (WLS) surgery and I just talk too much and enjoy seeing everyone post op.\" I could see he truly does this because he loves helping people and enjoys seeing their successes. Thank YOU Dr. LeBlanc.

I love my surgeon!! He is extremely knowledgeable about all of the different kinds of WLS's. He's very soft spoken and kind. He tends to always be running behind though, so take a good book when going for an office visit!!
