Dr. Nizzi is very compassionate and understanding. He is extremely knowledgeable in this field. I trust him completely. He made me feel totally at ease.
Haven't met him yet...appointment on 1-13-2005. Well I met Dr. Nizzi and he was wonderful gave a thourough slide presentation on weight loss surgery, was more informative than I received at MMPC in Grand Rapids and they were great too, just not as complete as Dr. Nizzi was. Dr Nizzi has a wonderful reputation and I have never heard anyone speak unkindly about him. He visited me in the hospital every day. He has a great follow up system. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of this surgery.
My butt will fit in the chairs - Very Knowledgeable
I got more comfortable with questions - and I asked alot.
Great
I felt it took so long for my work up that I had lost contact with him - but the office stayed in touch.
This is a great office - you get two Docs for surgery.
Very much - he sets up nutritionist appointments just in case there are questions
Yes, Aftercare is very structured - a plan is layed out so you dont go astray.
He addressed the risks of surgery - very matter of factly and made sure I was comfortable with them.
I would rate him as great and wouldn't trade for the world.
Surgical competence is great and I am pre-op
Awesome surgeon!!! I felt very confident around Dr. Slikkers from the first time I met him, even though he's not much older than I am. He is very professional and very caring about his patients. I would not think twice about having any type of surgery from him in the future.
He is very encouraging both before and after surgery, and has kept track of me and continues to be very encouraging of my weight loss and adherence to the program.
I have only met with Dr. Slikkers one time, at my initial consultation, but I am very impressed with him. He was very nice and gave me so much information about my upcoming surgery. Probably more than I really wanted!!!
His office staff is great! Mary Kay and Angie are so nice and extremely helpful. Their office at Grand Traverse Surgery has quite an extensive aftercare program. It seems to be pretty rigid, which is fine with me. I need the structure! Dr. Slikkers went over all the possible complications and risks as well as giving me an overview of the other kinds of weight loss surgery. He gave me the pros and cons of the different kinds and why he felt that Lap RNY was the best option for me.
Overall, I would rate him a 15 on a scale of 1-10. His knowledge, experience and personality all rate top notch!
Met with Dr. Nizzi yesterday - very thorough and professional. Office staff was wonderful. They emphasized after care a lot. Very big on support groups!! He was very up front about the risks of complications from the surgery.
My surgery was actually done by Dr. Slikkers, who is new to the practice. Dr. Nizzi assisted. I have found these Drs. to be the BEST. The staff is SUPER and ready to help in any way that they can. They are understanding and friendly. Their follow up care and concern for each and everyone of their patients is phenominal! They are very open not only about the benefits of surgery but also about the risks, and the changes that you as a patient will have to make to your lifestyle. They emphasize that you will have to follow up with them the rest of your life and that they are there for you. They make sure you are making a very well informed decision prior to the surgery. They (Dr. Slikkers , Dr. Nizzi and Dr. Featherstone ) are the GREATEST. They are excellent surgeons who really care about their patients both before and after surgery.
Dr. Featherstone is GREAT!! As well as the wonderful, loving staff he has working with him. He took time to answer all my questions and then some. They have been more than helpful with all my "special needs" being a cardiac patient and diabetic. I would highly reccomend him to anyone thinking of having WLS. He seems so logical and knows everything there is to know regarding the surgery.
