Grand Health Partners Bariatric Center

I didnt get to talk much to Dr. Baker, but he seems very professional and caring on an individual basis.
The office staff is very helpful, informative and nice.
They HIGHLY emphasize aftercare.

When I met Dr. Kemmeter, my first impression was that he looked very young. However, I also found him to be very informative, easy to talk with, and straight forward with all the facts--the risks as well as the benefits. He is a very sweet and caring Dr.--loved him. The team at MMPC are awesome. They are very helpful, caring, supportive, and encouraging every step of the way. They never make you feel rushed. The after care and good use of this tool is of the utmost importance and is stressed strongly. I can't thank the team at MMPC enough for their help and support and guidance. I feel that, with the tool which Dr. Kemmeter has provided me with and my own hard work, I have achieved a level of success which far exceeds anything than I had dreamed would actually be possible. I am amazed at the success I have had. What an incredible experience this has been, even with a few setbacks. There aren't words to express how much I appreciate Dr. Kemmeter for what he has done for me. This has been the best decision I've made. I have a much healthier life now since my surgery. I have the utmost highest respect and gratitude for all the people that have helped me at MMPC as well as my surgeon. I also have much appreciation for Anita and Bernie who have been especially caring and supportive, and an encouragement. They are a couple of angels in their own right, bless their hearts for all they do.

Very personable. Knowledgable. The staff from the receptionist to the nurses to the billing staff, nutritionist, behavorist have been great. Pleasant to work with and see each time. I would diffently recommend my surgeon and office to anyone who is interested. This is a very scary process, but they all made it run smoothly from my very first appointment to my most recent 6 month post-op appointment.

very young, it didn't change my mine dr. Paul knew what he was talking about. Office staff was great they took care of you. I think he is #1 in my book ever after care was great. MMpc has a great follow-up program after surgery.. There are no negative things to say about dr. paul

My impressions of Dr. Foote (MMPC Grand Rapids) are that he is a well educated, compassionate, and thorough physician. During my initial visit I was quite nervous but the friendly and open manner of Dr. Foote soon put me at ease. Like most patients, I had many questions and concerns. He took the time to address each one and completely went over the procedure the surgery entails, as well as the risks involved.

I found the other professional and office staff at MMPC also to be top notch. All are pleasant and very accomodating. My experience with both MMPC staff and Dr. Foote has been very positive to date.

My surgery is scheduled for July 1, 2005. I will update these remarks post op.

Met with Dr. Foote and his PA briefly prior to surgery. I say briefly because I had no questions and was ready to go. Visited by another dr. from his office day after surgery.

Dr. Foote was great. I have only wonderful things to say about him. He explained everything and took his time. Dr. Foote and the staff at MMPC are supportive and they have helped me to finally have confidence in myself.

I have only met with my surgeon once so far, but he seemed easy to talk to and very nice. People I know that have had surgery with him before say he is great. I also know several anesthesiologists who have worked with him and say he does an excellent job.

My surgery went great. I felt very comfortable with my surgeon, and he is very kind and caring. The awesome thing I found out about him was that while I was in the hospital he went to a one year anniversary party for a friend of mine whose surgery he performed a year before mine. How great that he cares enough about his patients to do something like that.

Dr. Foote was fantastic and the people at MMPC were very helpful. Dr. Foote even took a picture of my ovaries during surgery for me because he knew I had PCOS and fertility issues. It was so nice of him to take that extra time out during surgery for something he knew was important to me. The aftercare at MMPC is wonderful as well. I had a two week check up with the physicans assistant as well as the nutritionist. I had a 4 week check up with the surgeon Dr. Foote and at 6 weeks I have another nutritionist appointment as well as an appointment with the exercise coach. My overall rating of my surgeon is a 10 out of 10, I am very pleased with the surgery!

The first time I met the staff at MMPC was 3 years ago, the first time I went to their orientation to check into the surgery. They were very informative and helpful in trying to help me to get approved for the surgery. Their office is so fantastic! They are available 24 hrs a day, and are always helpful when I need a question answered. Dr. Foote is very professional, kind and considerate. During the orientation, they are very open about the surgery, its risks, and the benefits. They have a very informative web site. www.mmpc.com I was totally comfortable with the surgery and the hospital stay was great too. I was so at ease the whole time.

My first impression of Dr. Kemmeter was that he had a great compassion for people with obesity problems. He really cares about his patients.

The staff at MMPC is very kind and helpful. They are also very busy.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience at MMPC with the doctor, surgeon and the staff.

The aftercare program was gone through in detail and was very easy to undersand.

He addressed the risks of surgery with care and concern for any questions my husband or myself had to ask.

I would rate Dr. Kemmeter as wonderful and caring...very qualified and kind. I can only speak at this time, for his surgical competence and I feel it will be wonderful. Bedside manner will come to pass as soon as the surgery is completed...I will post more at that time.
