Hamilton Medical Group Bariatric Center

Doctor Chu was great very knowledgeable and very caring. I was impressed with her. and I feel so comfortable with her. She is a tiny woman but very strong. I dont think I have choosen wrong with her. The program at Dr Chu's is very aftercare structured. I rate Dr Chu and her office at a 10.

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF HIM WAS THAT HE WAS OK.BUT AFTER TALKING TO HIM PERSONALLY I WAS VERY CONFIDENT ABOUT HIM DOING MY SURGERY.HIS OFFICE STAFF IS WONDERFUL.

Very knowledgeable.

Yes, during the consultation, he did not seem very sincere about my conditions or interested with me on a personal level.(care about me as a person)
Office and staff are very helpful at all times so far
He's apathy

He is one of the best

He emphasized aftercare tremendously.

yes, down to how much water to drink in one hour.
yes, in a very detailed seminar

Awesome at what he does

Surgical competence

I originally was due to see Dr. Chu but she was out for several weeks. Dr. Stevens is a very quiet and serious person. He did make me feel as this surgery was just a simple thing.
His staff is unbelievable. Jan, the dietition, is the most wonderful educated dietition in the world. She explains everything so good that you don't have any doubts at all. She even give us her number and tells us we can call at any time.
I was told all the complications that could happen after the surgery. I was well educated on how to take care of myself after the surgery.
Overall this has been not a bad experience at all.

It's wierd because my initial appointment was with Dr. Stevens her partner, however b/c I didn't the book and test with me, I had to reschedule.----A month later! For some odd reason I decided to go with Dr. Chu instead of Stevens. Divine Intervention! She's WONDERFUL. She was so kind, and personable. We talked about everything from college, to kids, to Asia, to football. LoL
She get's 2 thumbs up!

My Frist Inpression was My Lord look how tiny she is ;-) I frist met her at the marh siminar she was great ...tells it like it is ....Liked her from the start. Her staff is great Kelly Knows Her insurance lol and Jan knows nutrition....Everyone is so pleasent....All aspects were covered amd aftercare is very much emphasized... I was told all the risk of the surgery..I would rate the whole staff a 9+ because no one is perfect ...But they are close ;-)

My first impression of Dr. Stevens was great. He was so helpfull. He answered all my questions. And he was so nice and caring. He has a good bedside manner. His office staff was also nice and helpfull.

Dr. Steven's treated me with such compassion and geuine concern for my health that I was at ease with him from the begining.
I had my RouxNY surgery on 9-24-03 and he came in to see me twice a day every day except the day he sent me home. He treated me as if I was the only patient he had. He took time to listen to my concerns and took care of all of my needs. He answered all my questions and made the surgery and after care in the hospital a very easy transition.
His staff is the most personable I have ever met. Every one there has a "Hi, how are you doing?" every time you go to the office. And always a smile from every one. They make you feel so special.
I do not have anything negative to say about Dr. Steven's or his staff, I owe him my health.
Anyone thinking about having the surgery should definately make an appointment to see Dr. Steven's. He has a great personality, he is a wonderful doctor and an absolutel terrific bedside manner. And he has a good sense of humor! He treats you as if he has all the time in the world to talk with you about your concerns at every office visit and he really CARES about you and your health.
Aftercare is the most important aspect of his program.
Yes, you see him 1 week post-op, then 1 month, then 3 months and now I will be seeing him for my sixth month checkup this month. After this it will be 6 months, which will be my yearly check-up and then I think every 6 months for a while. I have blood work done, weigh-ins and blood pressure checks and also monthly support group meetings.
He explained all the risks of this surgery to me on my fist visit. His office requires that you attend a group meeting prior to seeing him for the first time. One of the doctors is always at the meetings and you have patients that are post surgery that can answer any questions you might have as well as the doctors and the staff.
If I could go to him for all of my medical needs I would. He is the best doctor I have had the pleasure of meeting in my life. He is sincere and very competent. He is thorough and yet down to earth compassionate.
His surgical competence is excellent and his bedside manner can not compare with any other doctor that I have ever been to. He always has a smile for you and always takes his time to genuinely listen to what you have to say and addresses all concerns. I always leave there laughing and smiling. It is such a joy to have had the opportunity to be one of his patients!

I LIKED HER, SHE IS PETITE BUT SHE IS THERE TO HELP YOU, AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU SUCCEED, SHE IS ALWAYS AT THE SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS AND THAT'S THE THING I LIKE THE MOST, WHEN YOU SEE THAT YOU KNOW THAT SHE IS THERE TO HELP EVERYONE SUCCEED AND SHE CARES.

My first impression of Dr. Chu was "She is so petite! What in the world would she know about being overweight?" But I sure was wrong. She and her staff are extrememly empathetic to their patients. They are all great. She spelled everything out in detail and she pulled no punches about the risks and the work that would have to go into losing the weight after surgery. She is a fantastic doctor and I would recommend her and her staff to anyone considering having surgery. They all made me feel like I was special and that I was making the right decision.
