Johns Hopkins Obesity Surgery Center Bariatric Center

Dr. Magnuson came across very friendly and knowledgable. Although I was late for my appointment he took time to answer all my questions with very detailed answers.

'So busy that he really didnt care

'I would like to amend what I said early about Dr. Schweitzer. I was disappointed in the way my consultation went

'My first impression of Dr. Schweitzer was the same as one of my Internet buddies. He was very professional. He sympathized...)using sarcastic wit)... with me when I told him about the diet pills that I had to take before seeing him. Initially

'I met with Dr. Schwitzer on October 10th. I liked him immediately! I had met with another surgeon (in Washington D.C.) earlier

'I had a lap band done laproscopically Dec. 2001 and have been throwing up ever since. I think Dr. Schweitzer is a good surgeon the lap band just didn't work for my body. I had an EGD done in May and have been trying to get a surgery date to get it out ever since. I have had the worst experience with the office staff. I was scheduled for the EGD on a date when I told them I would be out of town

'He looked younger then my 30 yr. old son. He appears to be very comfortable talking with his patients. He only sees 4 patients a week. To my understand the WLS is all he does

I loved Dr. Sweitzer he is very professional and an excellent surgeon. I work in the health care profession and would have no one else perform this surgery on me. But his office staff OMG. No one returns your phones calls its impossible to reach his secretary any good secretaries out there contact him. His nurse Patricia is wonderful I would personally like to thank her she helped me tremmendoulsy.Taking an active role in this surgery and being persistant will get you rusults. Dr. Sweitzer is always a breath of fresh air.

'My first impression was not the greatest..I just felt he was just doing his job..not that personal....BUT... I only met him one time and hard to make such a judgement with just a short visit. I knew that he has been doing the band for some time and know what he is doing. His staff is WONDERFUL and quick to respond to question.rnDr Sweitzer bedside manners where great. Before and after surgery. He made it seemed that he was there for ME. I'm REALLY glad that i chose Dr.Sweittzer and his staff to do my surgery. John's Hopkins Bayview was also very nice and the hospital staff was very helpful and always close by.rn rn Just a note to add *These are just my opions and may differ from person to person..so not all patients may feel the same about the Dr.
