I liked Dr. Stahl right away. He was very matter-of-fact yet friendly. He told me what the risks were, answered any questions I had, and explained the surgery in detail. He also informed me that I was a candidate for the lap which I was very glad to hear.
4/9/02 - Hello Everyone! Well, I went for my 2 week post-op appt with Dr. STahl on April 4th, and I have lost 25 pounds so far. I was shocked, I expected to have lost maybe ten pounds. Although I have no regrets about the surgery, I have realized that I have some bad habits that I have to change, its s daily struggle but so worth it.
my first impression of dr. stahl was very good . he was very honest with me about the risk involved in the surgery. he went over every detail of the surgery with me.
susie was very very sweet and helpful and did all the paper work for medicaid.
future patients should know that dr. stahl is very straight forward about the risk and over all seems very concerned with his patients.
Dr. Stahl was was very straight forward with me and my boyfriend. I thought he was very kind and compassionate. The more we talked the more I was impressed with him. His office staff was kind and friendly. Very helpful and prompt about returning calls. So far I rate Dr. Stahl a 10! However I will update my opinion of him after I have my surgery to in order to be more informative on his surical skill and bedside manner and not least his aftercare practices. Dr. Stahl was great. He was very caring and explained everything he did to me during my surgery to my family. My family was also impressed by him. He's still a 10!
I was very impressed with Dr. Stahl and his staff, they were very freindly and helpful.After care was of great importance to him and he covered all the bases with me and my husband about everything we wanted to know. I was not too worried about his bedside manner all though I have no complaints about it, I am more interested in his skills as a surgeon. I checked out every avenue I knew to check and he was my first choice.
I found Dr. Sherer to be very caring and informative on helping me make my decision to have Gastric Bypass surgery.
I still think he is wonderful!
I found his entire staff to be very caring and supportive.
I do not have any dislikes about my Dr.
I would like them to know that Dr. Sherer will help them with their battle with obesity.
I go to see my Dr. every 3 months.
Yes.
Yes, we discussed the risk of the surgery.
I think he is wonderful.
Both
My husband and I met with Dr. Sherer on Dec. 13, 2001. I really liked his mannerisms. He was very easy to talk to. I had many questions and he answered all of them very patiently. I thought his office staff was very nice. Aftercare was discussed. He explained all of the risk to me and decided on which surgery I would rather have. I decided on the Lap. I rate him very high and from what I hear and read many others do as well.

I am home and had surgery and I feel great. Dr. Sherer visited me everyday while there and explained everything to my family after I got out of surgery. He and his staff came in and explained my diet to me as well as what to do when I leave the hospital with somewhat of a program. I also met with a dietitian while in the hospital who explained a lot to me. Well, i guess that is all. I loved Dr. Sherer.
My first impression of Dr. Stahl was that he was very young. As we spoke about the surgery I felt very good about my decision in choosing him. I could have gone to a local Doctor that could have done the procedure in December but I wanted some one whom had a great reputation. Dr. Stahl’s office staff was very pleasant and helpful. The nurse seemed to be legitimately excited for my decision and me. What I least liked about him was that he could do the surgery sooner. But that is because the insurance has to approve so I am happy with Dr. Stahl. He went into detail about pre-op, the operation, and post-op care. He did not mention support groups, but I live two hours away from the clinic and I also have found great support groups online. I do believe surgical competence is much more important than bedside manner. I am 37 years old and do not need someone to be extremely nice to me if he has the skills to get the job done. With Dr. Stahl, he contained both were great. While explaining the procedure to me he relied on his skill and did not try for bedside manner. But after explaining the operation he was as nice as any person could ask for during this decision making time. After seeing Dr. Stahl I am more excited now than I was prior to my visit. This was a very good experience.
I immediately liked Dr. Stahl and his office staff. He was very kind-hearted and spent a lot of time discussing the pros/cons of this procedure. He is a low pressure guy, doesn't sway you in either direction about what to do. He evaluates you and then tells you which surgery is the best for you. I like that. He also has large chairs in his waiting room which is wonderful!
Dr. Sherer did my gall bladder surgery in 1993. He was great then; he's great now! He is very thorough and will answer all your questions and concerns. He gives you the time you need. His office staff is also very impressive. And he has our size chairs in his waiting room!
Post-op: Procedure went very well. Got excellent care. Dr. Sherer, his partners (whom I saw while in the hospital) and his office staff continue to be top-notch! Couldn't ask for better!
