Grand Health Partners Bariatric Center

I first met Dr. Foote at a friend's appointment. He is honest and upfront about the surgery, complications, and life after surgery. I felt confident in him from the minute I met him. I'm hoping my first impression doesn't change. His office staff is friendly and accomodating.

I was so happy with Dr. Kemmeter! The big thing is, I could tell he was being honest, and not just trying to speed through my appt. Everybody at MMPC WLC has been great! The one thing I did have a problem with was more the nurses than him. I kind of felt like I was given the run around while trying to schedule my surgery. The nurses are less than helpful when calling with a problem.rnrnBut Dr. Kemmeter was always great, and informative. Caring.

My first iimpression of Dr. Baker was that he was truly a caring person and took time with me. Very friendly and warm person. The office is busy but staff seems very friendly. Dr Baker is a christian. I read up on the internet about him and where he went to school, his works etc. I would rate him a 10. Of course he is the only bariatric doctor I actually met.

Loved my first impression of him-for one, very dishy:-) Kidding aside, Dr. Kemmeter seems like a down to earth nice man, very polished, intelligent, and did I say nice?! I was treated very respectfully at the first surgeon visit. The deal was sealed after the wonderful behaviorist (Scott Glass) said Dr. Kemmeter is also a man of faith (Christian!) rnrnAll mmpc office staff have been courteous albeit if a bit curt at times, however I'm sure they are just about as busy as one-armed-paper-hangers!rnrnDr. K has really stressed the whole 'this is a tool' philosophy both at orientation and when I had my first meeting with him.rnrnSo far after my experience with Dr. K during orientation, 1st meeting, and endoscopy I would rate him a 10 out of 10 for competence and bedside manner (My hubby really liked him too when he met him at the conclusion of the endoscopy when Dr. K gave DH my aftercare instructions). I really trust my DH's judgement about people-I couldn't wait for him to tell me his impression of Dr. K. The nurses at mmpc have been ABSOLUTELY AWESOME too!rnrnI highly recommend Dr. Kemmeter and mmpc at this juncture of my wls journey!

I was impressed right away with Dr. Foote's kindness. He is upbeat and enthusiastic and very positive! He answered all my questions and made sure I asked everything on my list and didn't appear in a hurry at all. He explained risks, but very much put me at ease about my situation. I'm very excited to put myself in his hands and change my life!

Dr Foote is a great doctor. He is very friendly and very attentive to details. After just starting the surgery, it was found that my insides are not in the right spot. He told me that he was not sure he would be able to complete my surgery, but he kept going and said my gastric bypass is backward, but still going to work great. He is a 3rd generation doctor and I was told very picky when it comes to surgery. I would recommend him to anyone thinking of gastric bypass.

I had my surgery March 26, 2008. Dr. Baker and his entire staff are the greatest. He is always willing to answer my questions, even the stupid ones. I would highly recommend him.

I love Dr. Kemmeter. His staff is so great and helpful. I feel like I am in REALLY great hands.

4/23 - met Dr Baker for the first time today. He seemed to be a wonderful caring doctor, very encouraging and reassuring. I have been going to his office for the medical weight loss program so the office staff already knew me. They handle everying in a timely manner, even as busy as they are, and they always make you feel like you count.rnrn5/1 - Had to have an EGD with Dr Baker today. It went wonderful, no pain afterwards. rnrn5/12 - I had my preop appt today and met a PA. He was very funny and tried to lighten things up a big for me. He was very helpful in making me feel more at ease. The office staff are very helpful too. rnrn5/27 - I am 1 week postop, and Dr Baker was wonderful. He was running early for sugery, and I was really scared, but he took my hand and said they would take care of me, and said a prayer with me. After that I knew everything would be just fine - and it was. He is a very nice/excellent surgeon. Would recommend him to anyone.

I have only met Dr Baker once so far. He was friendly, knowledgeable and confident. The office is busy, but everyone has been helpful. Some I have met have even been exceptional. I know I am in good hands.
