When I met with Dr. Kemmeter, I found him to be direct, informative and pleasant. I was impressed with Dr. Kemmeter when I heard him speak at an informational seminar at the Center for Health Excellence, which is why I chose him as my surgeon. Before I went for my surgical consult, I read a book about WLS that scared me to the point that I almost decided not to have the surgery. When I went for my surgical consult, I was a little nervous and and somewhat uncertain about having WLS. Dr. Kemmeter didn't try to convince me one way or the other, but he did help by addressing my concerns and answering all of my questions regarding the after-effects and risks of surgery. Katelyn (I believe she was one of the assistants) was very kind and took her time to explain as much as she could and put my mind at ease. Also, Brian (the psychologist) had a great sense of humor and seemed to be a very caring person. I was treated with respect at MMPCs Center for Health Excellence, which is so important when you're dealing with the issues that overweight patients deal with.

first impression was that he looked VERY young, lol. But he seems very knowledgeable and kind.

Over time my impreesion has just gotten better, he is kind, considerate and CARES about his patients. The office staff at MMPC is wonderfull, they all help you and are very nice and cheerfull and fully respectfully of you. There was nothing at all I did not like about Dr Kemmeter. Aftercare is a MAJOR thing at the mmpc, they don't just do the surgery and send you on your way. He told me all the details and risks of surgery and made sure I understood it all.

I would give Dr Paul Kemmeter and the MMPC the highest rating advailable, they are just great! surgical competence and bedside manner wedded in bliss!!!

they say no one has a 100% postitive experience but I did, nothing phony or suspect about it!

What can I say about him besides...wow. He did an incredible job. His bedside manner is incredible, and his PA's are just as wonderful. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone I know. The office staff was pleasant most of the time but they did have their off days.

My first impression of Dr. Kemmeter was one of a very concerned and caring person and one who was very knowledable of what he was telling me.

My impression of him over time was proven to be correct and the only thing I had not thought of was that he was a religeous man also and took the time to pray with me when I was having issues or before preforming any tests like my scopes and I thought that was really a wonderful thing for your doctor to do.

The staff have all been wonderful to me and they are just as caring as he since they call at times to make sure that I'm doing ok and always call me back with answers to any questions that I have called about, they well even e-mail back to me answers to questions that I have.

There was really nothing that I didn't like about him.

I think that everyone should just know that he is a very caring person and cares about his patients on a personal level and if you want him to pray with you then he is more than happy to do that. He believes that God guides him in what he does and is with him for every procedure and I think that is really nea.

After care is a big deal and you will have many appointments and phone calls so he can keep track of how you are doing.

The program is very structured and you see specific individuals when needed starting after the first 2 weeks of surgery through your first year.

He was very honest about all of the risks that could happen with the surgery and he also shared his personal record when I asked.

I would recommend in to anyone that is considering have this surgery done he is wonderful.

Both are great and he has them.

He seems very knowledgable and personable Dr. I look forward to working with him on this.

My first impression of Dr. Baker was that he looked a lot younger and taller in person. He is very patient and direct with all my many questions and concerns. Even though you could tell his day was very busy and was on a tight schedule, he remained until I felt comfortable with everything he was explaining to me.

He has a wonderful reputation and so does the MMPC Center. I feel confident in his abilities and skills (and God too of course). I don't think I could be placing my life in better hands for this procedure than his.

I haven't had surgery yet. Everything is ok but waiting for insurance companys ok. I am under my husbands insurance-Blue Cross/Blue Shield thru GM - traditional. The person from Dr. Kemmeter's office said it could take from 6 to 8 weeks. Hope it is soon.
My first impression of Dr Kemmeter seemed to be just like others I have read. He seemed young but very helpful, concerned and didn't berate or look down on you because of being overweight. His whole office was reassuring and confident and caring.
There is an aftercare program and his office suggested getting on this site for help or support.

HE IS AMAZING!!!! he did the Orientation session i was in and i thought it was awesomet that the surgeon did the orientation rather than a nurse or a spokesman . He was very nice and very helpful . i couldnt wait to meet him for my one on one visit which again was great! He new exactly what to say to make me feel very comfortable with the surgery and i could tell he trully cared! I feel so good being under his care! And hes good looking too :)

My first impression of Dr. Kemmeter was a good one. I felt very comfortable with him and felt that he was quite frank and honest with me about everything we discussed. The office staff is great at MMPC. Someone is always smiling at you or back at you. I appreciate Dr. Kemmeter taking me on as a patient due to other strikes that were against me in regards to my health as well as request that I had for a bloodless surgery. He has a good bedside manner and humored my 9 year old nephew that was totally against the doctor taking me away into the operating room.

Due to the high-risk of my surgery, I give him a 10 rating overall.

Dr. Baker is amazing. What a gift he has. The best part, he knows who gave him that gift! He is so reassuring and calm. You can't help but feel good. I thank God for Dr. Baker and for him letting me find him!
