Grand Health Partners Bariatric Center

My first impression of Dr. Kemmeter was that he was caring, and had a great sense of humor.rnI still feel that way. His office staff is extremely helpful and kind. The thing that I liked least about him is that I don't get an opportunity to meet with him anymore. He passes his patients off to PA's, which is ok, but sometimes I would just like to talk with him. Future patients should not be afraid to let Dr. K. do their surgery - he's the best (in my book). Aftercare is a huge part of his process, and you are seen at 2 wks, 6 wks, 3 mos. 6 mos. and yearly there after. We had a long conversation about the surgery and it's risk as well as printed information that I read at home. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate Dr. Kemmeter a 10.rnHe's a competent, never hurried, surgeon and his bedside manner is great. rnrnI can't say enough about Dr. Kemmeter, he truly has my heart.

My first seminar at MMPC was with Dr. Foote. I was impressed by his enthusiasm and his confidence. I chose him (out of 3/4 doctors) because I just liked him the most. rnThe staff is pretty great. It's a very busy office and like all offices, you get some amazing staff and some staff that is not as enthusiastic about their job. The nutritionists are all very well informed and the exercise therapist is absolutely wonderful. rnrnDr. Foote, I think, did an amazing job. I haven't thrown up onces or had problems/complications with anything. I didn't see him much after the surgery as it's a pretty large office and he has many patients. I wish he was more personable, but I think to find a very skilled surgeon is enough. Can't have everything.rnrnMMPC is a superior place. They make sure you are very well educated on the surgeries. They prepare you well and have food products for the 2 weeks prior and post surgery. I'd highly recommend them to anyone.rnrnOne thing is that I was slated to have the Duodenal Switch but Dr. Foote informed me that if it wasn't completely possible, he'd do the sleeve. Afterward he assured me that with determination he was confident that I'd lose the weight I wanted without going to the second stage of the DS. Going great thus far, but only time will tell.

Awesome

I had surgery on May 22, 2002 with Dr. Foote. He has a wonderful personality and a very encouraging attitude. I can't thank him enough!

Awesome doctor in every way! Knowledgeable and great bedside manner to boot. I've recently had to return to see him due to problems, and he hasn't changed since I had surgery with him in '03.rnrnOffice is busy, and so is the staff. Appointments with him seemed a bit rushed. Sometimes you feel like you are overlooked when you're in the office.rnrnHowever, Dr. Baker and his associates place a tremendous amount of importance on aftercare and yearly follow-ups.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Foote. He was wonderful. Very professional and very caring. Great bedside manners and I could just tell that he really cares about his patients! He wants them to succeed. Just like his staff and the other surgeons he works with. They are all wonderful there! I owe everything to their office! Thank you many times over MMPC!

I met Dr. Baker at a seminar and liked him instantly, which is why I chose him to be my surgeon. I know he is the best, so I know I'm in good hands. After our consult, he said the next time he'd see me would be in hospital. :)
