Dr.Schreiber was very nice and very easy to talk to he took the time to answer all of my questions. And gave me alot of information about the surgery.the staff is wonderful... everyone is very helpful.I like the fact that two doctors do the surgery together.
(Dr. sonpal & Dr. Schreiber)
I met with Dr. Schreiber 4 weeks ago. He is a very gently, knowledgeable man. No high pressure from him. His bedside manner isn't all warm and fuzzy but he has a quiet way about him that gives you confidence in what he says and does. He identifies if you are a good candidate for his program and if you are interested then you go on to the scheduling and insurance process. He also gives you information about what's going to happen from that day forward, some of it may be more than you want to know but nothing is held back. He has a very good aftercare program set up for his patients, even a clothes swap as your body begins to change. His office staff are wonderful. They always answer your questions and are very helpful.
I'm a self pay. And believe me in saying that not all surgerons or hospitals charge the same thing. I found St. Vincent and Dr. Schreiber to be a very good combination for me.
So far so good! surgery date of 3-2-01, dr Sonpal, seems preety cool, And speaks english very good! I was'nt expecting that with a name like that!
Dr.Sonpal seemed nice,with a sense of humor.My husband came in the office with me.The doctor asked, why I wanted the surgery.I told him that I developed Gerd,which causes me to loose my voice.I told him at one time I could'nt talk for 3 mons. My husband and the doctor looked at eachother and he said to my husband,"most husbands would like that".Well of course they both laughed,you know one of those guy things.He made me feel comfortable and at ease.The office staff seemed very busy but freindly.
I have had my first consultation with Dr. Schreiber and I find him to be someone who I can feel comfortable with. I felt that he really cares about his patients. His office staff has been a lot of help in keeping me up to date with the insurance needs.
When I first met Dr. Sonpal. He made me feel relaxed. I have only met him once. I did that he may have wanted me to try to lose weight on my own, since he did give me another referral to another weight loss doctor. I don't know why he did this now that I think about it. He did tell me that this is major surgery. I guest my first impression is that he gives one time to actually consider this big step.
The other questions I can't answer yet, because my surgery date is April 16th.
I'll be in touch as my date draws close.
I have met with Dr. Schreiber once, on July 18, 2000
for my initial consultation. He was very
professional and knowledgeable. He patiently
listened to and answered all of my questions.
The office staff was very friendly and helpful.
They definitely know what they are doing.
There is a structured aftercare program in place,
which is one thing my family doctor insisted on before he
would refer me.
Dr. Schreiber was very clear in detailing the
risks of RNY. He wants to make sure his patients
fully understand what is going to happen to them.
I would recommend Dr. Schreiber to anyone in the
area who is considering WLS.
