He is a very intelligent guy, laid back, and very personalble. He was very upfront and honest about everything, i would reccommend him .
Dr. Baker and the whole staff at GHP is WONDERFUL!!! I can't thank them enough for helping me change my life and feel great!!! I would recommend Dr. Baker and GHP to anyone who is considering having weight loss surgery.
I was impressed with Dr. Kemmmeter. He came into the exam room and introduced himself by his first and last name. He apologized about having a runny nose and fighting off a cold and was very down to earth. He explained that even though I may have made up my mind as to what surgery to have he wanted to go over ever one of them to make sure I understood what was involved. I appreciated his patients and time in explaining things and helping make sure the Duodenal Switch Surgery or "Hammer" of all gastric bypass is really what I wanted. You can tell he's extremely busy but he took the time and didn't leave until all my questions had been answered.
My first impression of Dr. Foote is that he was a very caring individual and was truly concerned about the health of those of us that were at the meeting he held. My opinion of him has only improved as I got more of a chance to meet him during the time I was in the hospital for my surgery. He was supportive of me and let me ask him as many questions as I wanted. I never felt rushed like he had to go see other patients. The staff at his office was wonderful and I didn't feel like anybody there was judgmental of me because I was overweight. To help make sure you are as successful as possible they have several follow up appointments that you have to go to as well as yearly for the rest of your life. I am so glad that I chose Dr. Foote as my surgeon. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give him a definite 10. He is very competent in his profession and treats you like a person not a patient. I only wish that I could have seen him more. I more often than not saw the PAs at my office visits but that is because he does surgery 4 days a week. The clinic where he practices has a very stringent pre-op diet and follow up diet. This was a major downfall. You have to eat their supplements for 2 weeks prior and 2 weeks post op Yhey are ok to start with but by the end of the third week I could not eat them anymore. It would be nice if you could add a few more things after your first week post-op but they really don't like you to do that.
Screw this guy. Do not use him as a surgeon. His office swindled me out of money for their preopt diet & called me one week before & cancelled my surgery . When I had my $330 consult with Dr. Foote-he told me upfront that I had 30 minutes & that was it. Naturally I felt rushed. From that point on I constantly felt like I was #123,014. The front desk staff members are NOT friendly or helpful, quite clueless in fact. I can never get a straight answer from them. In my opinion, surgical competence & bedside manner should go hand in hand & I shouldn't have to sacrifice one for the other.
Dr Foote is wonderful surgeon. My experience with him and his staff was wonderful. The program the follow is structured and supportive and I felt I went into the surgery well informed and ready for the change that was about to happen in my life. Dr Foote has a great bedside manner and has a sharp sense of humor and always has a smile on his face or words of encouragement. He answered many of the questions I had before I even had the chance to ask them. The physician assistants that work with that particular group of surgeons is also very knowledgeable and I feel comfortable continuing my after care with them in the future.
I really like Dr. Foote. He's a young guy that's confident and self-assured like you'd like your surgeon to be. He always seems to be smiling and enjoying his work and he has never made me feel rushed. He seems to genuinely like sitting and answering your questions.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Baker. He's just the best there is. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
