Bariatrics and Medical Weight Loss North - Community Health Bariatric Center

My first impression of Dr. Ditslear was awesome. He was soft spoken. Answered all questions truthfully and very professional.
The staff was wonderful. Dr. Ditslear told me to have laproscopic surgery i needed to lose weight and reduce the size of my liver. He told me if I did that he could perform his job easier. That is all i needed to hear. I have had no issues since my rny and I am 12 weeks post-op. The pain was very tolerable and I am completely satisfied up to this point. Weight keeps coming off and I keep working.All I have to say is thank you Dr. Ditslear and the entire clarian staff. I owe my life to all of you God Bless.......

Dr. Jones is extremely caring and professional. I was completely comfortable with her from the start. She answered all of my questions and was encouraging of my decision to have RNY. The only complaint that I have is that I didn't see her after the surgery and before I was released from the hospital. I was however given aftercare instructions and am healing great! I would recommend Dr. Jones to anyone!

My husband and I both absolutely adore Dr. Jones. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met and she is truly concerned about the welfare of her patients. I highly recommend her to anyone considering this surgery. I continue to follow up with her and she is still the same sweet, considerate, smart lady she was when I first met her. Her surgery stats are high and I found that on here, on OH and I found a good number of testimonials to the kind of person she is and they did not steer me wrong.

Dr. Jones is AWESOME! My first impression was that she was patient and glad to answer any questions to ensure your understanding of all of the options available. She made it very easy to choose which type of surgery to have. Her staff was also very knowledgeable and most easily available via email which worked well for me.

There was an 8 hour training class that was helpful in answering questions.

I had no issues at all with the surgery. It was very smooth and I spent only one night in the hospital.

I had heard that she was the best which is why I wanted to her to do my surgery and I definately agree!
I would rate her a perfect 10.

Dr Jones won me over the very first time I met her. A lady short in stature but very large in personality!! She is very sweet and very informative. Her bedside manner is awesome and she is an awesome surgeon!! During the seminar with her she had stated that she being of Mexican and Italian heritage, she knew what it was like to struggle with weight. And that she thinks she has been dieting her whole life. The office staff have mixed reviews from me. Some of them are really nice and some are really rude. Dr Jones really stresses after care and the eating program that the St Vincent Carmel Bariatric Center of Excellence gives you when you go for the day long Nutrition class.

I met Dr. Jones in August 2009 at a weekly seminar. She is a beautiful woman inside and out. She talked to all of us about weight being a disease and not a malfunction we all have. She not only talked to us like we were human beings but like she could be our friend. She explained the surgery in such detail that I understood it completely. My first impression of her was that she is passionate about making people's lives better, she's very educated and intelligent, she's truly concerned and passionate, and she's a down to earth person. Her staff is phenomenal, they are eager to answer questions and get things going for you ASAP. They are all wonderful people. Dr. Jones emphasizes aftercare over and over again and her office along with the bariatric dept. at the hospital offer several programs and groups a lot of which are free. Dr. Jones does not sugar coat risk at all. She makes sure we are all 100% aware of the risk of surgery and if we continue living the way we are. She uses a lot of stories, statistics, and facts to explain the risks associated with surgery. If I was to give Dr. Jones a rating out 1-10 she would be a 10 in my book for sure. I trust her with my life. The only negative thing I would have to say about the pre-surgery experience is all the waiting. The nutritional classes and seminar was a lot of waiting and not necessarily on the doctor or staff but for other patients.

Great guy, I did some research prior to my appointment with him and he came highly recommended even from a few doctors I know. I would recommend him to anyone interested in surgery.

My first impression of Dr. Rose Marie Jones was that she was a kind and caring woman. The risks of surgery were adequately cover by Dr. Jones and her staff several times prior to surgery (Per surgery class was also required) the office staff was great to me, everyone is very supportive. She seems to really care about her patients.rnThe Structured after care is fabulous. There are monthly support meeting that respond to where you are as a person from newbie up to 1 yr post surgery while general support meetings are twice per month (not limited to post surgical folks) They even have a cooking class for the “Old Timers” (> 1 yr) How could I forget the exercise class held monthly.rnYou have access to the Dietitian staff when you need help and always see the Dietitians on your appointment dates with your surgeonrnMy opinion the Carmel Surgical Specialists from St. Vincent’s Bariatric Center is one of the best in the nation. They focus on the whole person’s wellbeing. The Carmel Surgical has also achieved the Bariatric Center of Excellence designation.rnPlease check out www.carmelsurgical.comrn

Dr. Jones is in my opinion the best bariatric surgeon around. She has the most wonderful bedside manner and she is very skilled at what she does. Anytime I hear of someone even considering having surgery I always recommend they have a consult with her.

My first impression of Dr. Ditslear was that he was very kind and very caring. My impression never changed over time because he proved to be the kind and caring Dr. that he is. His office staff at Clarian is very nice also and willing to help out at any given time. There is nothing that I don't like about Dr. Ditslear, he is the most wonderful man. Dr. Ditslear will look you in the eye and will answer any question that you may have. He tells you numerous times what the risks are for the surgery but he also told me he thought that I would do fantastic. I rate him the best surgeon that I know as well as the most caring one too. Both are great, like I said there is nothing that Dr. Ditslear needs to change. He is fantastic and I trust him with my life!!
