Bariatrics and Medical Weight Loss North - Community Health Bariatric Center

I refer to Dr. Jones as my Angel. I had my surgery on May 13, 2005, and other than a painful gas bubble for several hours after surgery, I have been virtually pain-free. She promised me that I would not have a lot of pain and she kept her promise. I stopped all pain medicine three days after surgery and I have not had even a single aspirin since. I am amazed that I could have major surgery with only minor discomfort.

I have listened to a lot of other patients speak about their surgeons and based upon their stories and my experience, I cannot imagine someone using anyone else other than Dr. Jones. Her experience, her gentle touch and her caring nature are above and beyond all the rest.

I realize that I have a huge mountain yet to climb but Dr. Jones has prepared me to climb that mountain.

Dr. Ditslear is a wonderful and caring surgeon. He willing answered all of my questions and was willing to actually listen to me.

He was very open with me about the risks and possible complications.

He is rated top of the line in my book!

Dr Ditslear was very professional, caring and attentive. He did my Lap RNY on 11/30/04 at Methodist and I have had no complications at all!! I felt very safe knowing that I was in the care of such a great surgeon and in one of the best hospitals in the nation!!

I just recently started the process for the Bariatric Surgery, and I must say, I am very impressed with Dr. Ditslear. I had a major concern about the surgery because my brother had the same surgery but at another hospital and a different doctor, and he did not pull through. Dr, Ditslear sat and talked with me for a long time, and put my mind at ease. The staff in his office is very friendly, they are all great people.

I just met Dr Ditslear yesterday for the first time. My first impression was that he seemed like a normal person, who is young and has his act together. All the things I was hoping to see the first time I met him. In our one on one, he seemed very interested in how I felt and the questions I had. I feel Dr Ditslear and I are going to do just fine on this path we are embarking on together.

My husband and I both feel she is a very surgeon as well as a great person. That feeling never changed, although her partners have dropped the ball on numerous occasions where communication is concerned.

I would recommend here wholeheartedly, however it is (of course) my only experience with this type of surgeon. I did, however, drive for 2.5 hours from my home to the hospital, so that will give you a little idea of how much I believed in their system/hospital.

I have cancelled my appointment with Dr. Jack Ditslear of Clarian's WLS. I had a bad experience pre-consultation with his office people--not receiving the consultation packet until 1 day before appointment when scheduled 2 weeks prior--and that's only because I called asking where it was. It didn't give me much confidence in his practice. Who knows? Maybe he's excellent, but he needs to check in on his office help.

I've scheduled a consultation with Dr. RoseMarie Jones at St. Vincent's for 2/16/2005. She is the surgeon that my cousin had for his WLS. He only has praise for her.

Dr. Jones left a very friendly and caring impression with me....and my impression continued thru out my dealings with her. The office staff is great. Marta is my hero.....

Over all I would recommend Dr. Jones and her staff to anyone thinking about having this procedure....

My first impression of Dr. Jones is that she is a very beautiful, happy, smiley person with a lot of confidence in herself. After talking with her, I thought about how kind and caring she is. Right before surgery, she talked with me. I told her that I was nervous and scared. She held both of my hands and told me that my feelings were very normal and said, "You know I will take good care of you". I felt so at ease with those words and her radiating confidence. I was very impressed with Dr. Jones! I think she is the best surgeon and a wonderful human being! Both her surgical competence and bedside manner are excellent!

The hospital staff and the staff at St. Vincent Bariatric Weight Loss Center of Excellence explained in detail the risks associated with WLS. Dr. Jones asked me if I needed any of that information repeated or explained further on the day of surgery at the hospital. Her staff in her Doctor's office didn't seem to be overly kind and friendly, but I would say that they are very busy. They were respectful and courteous to patients.

Dr. Jones greatly emphasizes aftercare and stresses the importance of it in regards to long-term weight loss success. Her aftercare program is with St. Vincent Bariatric Weight Loss Center of Excellence in Carmel IN, which is one floor under her office in the hospital. It's a great program. I can see the Nutritionist and participate in any aftercare classes free for the rest of my life. I think that is awesome!

She was very knowledgeable and nice. My impression didn't change. Office Staff ok for the most part. Didn't like her Insurance person. She was very supportive throughout the process. Extremely supportive at my plateaus. Her office also offered groups, emailed my before and after pictures to me for support and regularly checked up on me for progress.
