My surgen is great! I liked him right from the start. He was very informative and explained everything to me. The aftercare his office has is terrific.There are 2 dietitians and a great exercise physiologist.He was very helpful in helping me find exercises that helped me work on my problem areas. Everyone on his staff is very nice and I believe that they really do care about their patients. There was nothing I didnt like about him or his staff. I know people say there is always one thing or another that someone doesnt like about someone but in this case there isnt. I would highly advise anyone who is near Grand Rapids and considering the surgery to look into his office.(Grand Health Partners).
My first impression of Dr. Schram was that he was a very caring man who was interested in helping me be successful. As time has gone on, I believe my first impression was dead on. I had surgery 4/14 and he prayed with my husband and I before the procedure. HE was so kind and reassuring, even though I was a sobbing mess. His office staff is wonderful! Everyone at Barix in Ypsilanti, MI, is so kind and compassionate. I feel completely comfortable with my choice in surgeon because I know Dr. Schram will do what he needs to in order to ensure my success. His words of encouragement have made me believe I truly can do this and I'm not alone in the journey.
From the very first moment of meeting Dr. Foote I could see the compasion in his eyes. He cares about the concerns, questions, and health of his patients. My surgery went very well, the stay at the hospital was limited to only 1 day and I did not have to have a catheder which was a big plus. I would recommend him to anyone considering surgery.
Dr. Schram was great, he had a nice manner to him and made me feel comfortable the min i met him. He took time and describe everything to me and i had no concerns when he was done. The office was great his staff was the best.I would rate him a 10 and would do it all over again if he was my surgeon.
Dr. Foote is an amazing doctor. I think that the first time that you meet him he is a little shy. After time though, he warms up and is a wonderfully caring physician.rnrnI cannot say anything negative about him or his staff. Grand Health Partners and Dr. Foote are with you every step of the way-including aftercare in all aspects. You cannot fail without trying to fail here.rnrnBoth Dr. Foote's surgical and bedside manner are great. I very highly recommend him and give him a 9.9!
Dr. Schram is a great doctor and he cares about his patients! I had my RNY on Feb 9th, 2009, and I would send anyone of my friends to him. I actually met a complete stranger that was talking to me at my FCP office and I told her to go see him! He may not seem like he is listening at first, but it is NOT the case at all, he is thorough! When I went in for my 6 month post op, I was pretty worried that I had not lost enough, and he (maybe even over exaggerated, lol) that I was doing really good, and that I have lost close to what he expects to see in 9+ months. I feel so at home when I go into barix, there is a support group that meets there, and they had nurses and nutritionist on call to answer your questions, no matter how silly or what time of the day it is, and they do not make you feel silly about asking the questions. His bedside manner is awesome! I have never heard before of a surgeon who will come in to visit pre-op and pray with me and my family, but he did, and that meant a lot to me! Like I said before I would recommend him to anyone who is looking into having surgery! The only think I have to say is there is a long wait time for appointments, so bring something to do, and leave the kids with a sitter, it was hard on my kids because they were so young but they were not treated poorly, I felt that everyone understood that the little ones were bored.
When I met Dr. Foote my first thought was how young he looked, as we talked I was amazed at how intelligent, caring and thorough he was. rnI was very impressed with how knowledgeable the staff was and eager to answer all and any questions, no mater how dumb or insignificant they might seem. Dr. Foote and his team advised me of the risks involved and were very upfront about the dangers involved.rn
Dr. Foote is great. I was going to use a different surgeon in the practice, but after attending the orientation he gave, I felt we had similar personalities and senses of humor. I felt at ease with him right away. He shoots straight and truly takes the time to analyze each individual patient's needs and goals.
Sara DeYoung, Dr. Foote's insurance liasion and scheduler, is incredible. She's on the ball, very accessible...friendly and willing to do whatever it takes to get everything squared away for you. Insurance, appointments, consultations, etc...she works to do what is best for you, and makes it happen.
