Dr. Genaw is a wonderful man. He is kind and has a great sense of humour. The staff at the HFH were constantly wonderful. I find that Dr. Genaw really cares about his patients. He doesn't just rush through his examinations with you. If you have questions or concerns, he is very direct with his answers.rnrnDr. Genaw interviewed me before he would consider me a candidate for surgery. I like that. He doesn't treat you like a number but as an individual and wants to make sure you are well informed as this is a life style change for the rest of your life. rnrnHe wants to know that you have support, both from friends and from family as well as the support of your referring physician who he will work closely with if needed, post-operatively. Contact information for him and his staff are given freely for any questions you have.rnrnI would give Dr. Genaw a grand rating of a 10rnrnI believe that surgical competence and bedside manner are both critical when dealing with patients. If you, as a patient, do not feel comfortable with your surgeons bedside manner, you may be anxious. Dr. Genaw talks to you like you are his best friend. He cares!!!rnrnThe only thing I warn all of you regarding Dr. Genaw is that his handshake is a killer...don't say I didn't warn you.

Dr Laker is one of the nicest physcians I have every met. He spent all the time I needed in the clinic to make me feel comfortable with my surgery choice. He is personal, kind and an all around GREAT GUY. He has a very structured program at Harper Hospital that makes sure the patient is always involved in their care. I would tell anyone interested in Bypass Surgery to go see Dr Laker at his clinic.

I have not met him, yet my insurance mandates he completes my surgery but I have not located anything suspect from members as of yet. rnrnI know God gave him to me for a reason

' I feel my surgeon one of the most qualified in the field. He has done bariatric surgery on over 900 patients. His staff is supportive and caring. They offer free support groups meetings every two weeks. Follow-up care continues for an entire year. He has great way of relating to patients and putting them at ease. I felt completely safe in his hands. The only negative thing

I have only spoken to Wanda in his office, but if she is any reflection on Drs. Carlin/Genaw's practice, I am looking forward to my future involvement with them.
Wanda is extremely helpful with filling out insurance papers









I will be having surgery with Dr. Arthur Carlin (Same office as Genaw). My consult appt. is July 28/04.








I met Dr. Carlin today. What a sweetie! He was so nice and I was instantly comfortable with him. He was very down to earth, no conceit at all. We even had a chuckle about our kids!! I actually had no questions for him since he covered it all. Very through. I highly recommend him!!!!

Dr. Carlin and very professional and likeable. He made the entire procedure from 1st consultation to actual surgery and follow-ups very comfortable.

I don't get to choose my surgeon. My insurance co. tells me where I will have the surgery done. The hospital will then assign a surgeon to me. I do know that I will be going through Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit. I've heard that they are very plesant but strict. Everyone I've spoken to tells me Wanda is wonderful, and so are the Doctors.
I can't wait to meet them all.
I've found out that my surgeon will be Dr. Carlin. I have heard wonderfull things about him. I will meet him on august 10th. at 9:00am.
I met Dr. Carlin today. I was impressed. He's a very intelligent, down to earth kind of person. Dr Carlin is very easy to talk to. I can honestly say that I have never been so open with any Dr. before this. He made me feel very comfortable. He even asked me if he could examine me, before he did. Not the usual ok up on the table Kind of thing. I'm happy that he is my surgeon.:-) I am very confident with Dr. Carlin, and I did get to choose my surgeon after all. So far everyone at Henry Ford that I've met, or talked to on the phone have been wonderful. They treat people like people. What a GREAT place my insurance hooked me up with.

Dr Genaw is a very caring and compasionate man. I am totally happy with my care under him and his staff thus far. He likes to tease and joke a bit which is the kind of personalty that I can relate to completely.
he empjasises after care alot.. The baratric program that he and his partner Dr Carlin run at Henry Ford Hospital is a full program. He feels and his staff does as well that sucess is not in the surgery but in the proper use of this tool afterwards.
