great surgeon and office staff and program
Dr. Schram was wonderful and informative. He was so sensitive to my needs and nervousness about the surgery. He preformed my RNY in Holland, Michigan in 2003. I've adhered to all his instruction and followed the rules! I am able to maintain my healthy weight after 13 years!!!
I can not say enough about his professionalism and expertise!! Had it not been for him, I would not be the energetic teacher and mother I am today!!!
Thank you Doctor Schram!
Dr. Schram was so informative and seemed to be sensitive to your feelings. He gave clear and swift answers to all questions, and welcomed you to ask what you would.
I felt more comfortable with him after he prayed with you before surgery. I REALLY appreciated that. It made me feel like GOD was directing his hands to do the surgery. He has a thorough post op program with BTC's 800 numbers to call with ANY questions or concerns you may have. He let me and my best friend (who had the surgery with me) know that he sees the risk of R and Y being a fatality of 1 in 1000, vs. the LAP risk of fatality of 1 in 200.
I rate Dr. Schram an 11 on a scale of 1-10.
Bed side manner and surgical competence were equally excellent.
I met with Dr. Holman recently due to some complications that I have been having. I had an open Roux en Y about 12 years ago and am having trouble with eating and bloating and extreme pain.
Dr. Holman is a kind and knows what she is talking about. She ordered some test and I will soon know what the problem is.
I would recommend seeing Dr. Holman.
Dr Schramm performed my VSG on 7/30/13 and he saved my life in more ways than one. I had a "freak" thing happen and he flew on a helicopter on a Sunday from Chicago to make sure I was taken care of. Everyone in his office on Lake drive is wonderful and caring. They were there to support me when I had my difficulties and I never felt I was asking a stupid question. I honestly can't say enough positive things.
Dr. Schram and his staff are such good people to work with. I am 8 months post op, I went to my follow up appt today. They are all so encouraging and uplifting. Dr. Shram is willing to listen and is proud to see success in his patients. I would like to thank Dr. Schram and all of his staff for helping me to gain back my health. The surgery is a tool that makes me work extremely hard everyday to be as healthy as I can be. Thank you Dr. Schram!!
Dr. Schram has been very nice, and supportive during this journey. He has been encouraging me every step of the way. He put my hubby and parent's at ease before, during, and after the surgery. My family and my hubby have nothing but good things to say about my surgeon.
I originally was going to have the RNY but due to my anemia, Dr. Schram said it would be against his medical advice but he would still do the RNY surgery if I really wanted. I ended up opting for the sleeve. He has confidence in my that I won't need a 2nd stage procedure even when I am not so sure myself. I would recommend him to anyone who attends Spectrum Health Medical Group in Grand Rapids, MI.
Dr Foote is an awesome surgeon! After hearing about other WLS patient experiences with surgery, i have cone to appreciate his skill and knowledge. He is on the cuting edge of this surgery, and his practice has performed thousands of surgeries so they have extensive knowledge of best practices. I had the VSG and my husband had the RNY the same year, two months apart. Both of us had easy, textbook recoveries with no complications. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time as my VSG which cured my GERD. My husband aldo had Dr Foote repair bilateral hernias, a year after his surgery, with great success.
Should i ever need future surgery, i will go to Dr Foote.

Dr. Schram was wonderful. He answered all of my questions and even took time to pray with me before surgery.
Dr schram is a very awsome surgeon I had my surgery on 1/21/2013 he prayed with me before surgery and I feel awsome after surgery no problems I'm recovering quick and I believe it is because of him and his awsome talent some people are made to do such greatness and he is one of them I highly recommend him as your surgeon:)
My journey began in 2011, when I decided that "I was sick and tired of being sick and tired", of being too heavy for my short frame. From my first meeting with Dr. Schram, until the day of my procedure July 19th. 2011, it has been an amazing life changing journey. Dr. Schram, was kind, understanding, compassionate, and very informative. But what totally captured my heart is that he prayed for me. I knew Dr. Schram was gifted in his field, but to be spritially connected is the ultimate gift.
