MultiCare Rockwood Clinic Bariatric Center

My first impression of Dr. Rawlins was that of a caring compassionate human being. I did not feel that he looked down on me in any way and I loved him then and I love him now!rnDr. Rawlins is very thorough in his preop instructions and post op care and he has great bedside manner. rnI would 100% recommend Dr. Rawlins to anyone considering bariatric surgery!

I just want to say that Dr. Bright was wonderful. My first impression was that \"he sure is young\" but I guess the older we get the younger everyone else looks! lolrnrnHe and his staff are a \"Center of Excellence\" now which is VERY important when choosing a surgeon. One of the things I liked most is he was very down to earth. He sat and talked to us very comfortably and never had an attitude like some doctor's do now days. He was just great. He loves what he does and is very good at it. I believe he gets just as much joy in watching his patients succeed as we get our selves. rnrnThe support group that meets once a month at the Rockwood clinic is also wonderful. It is very informative and answers all the questions you may have, before and after surgery.rn

Dr. Bright was wonderful. He was really concerned for me due to the issue with my gallbladder, the kidney was leaking into my adomanal ( misspelled probably ). He did everything to his best ability, and I am very pleased with it. I did feel that sometimes he didn't look me in the eyes direct, but I knew he cared by the end of my stay, and I really started feeling comfortable. That was the only negative thing I have to say about Dr. Bright. I will recommend him to anyone who may ask who is a good surgeon for the WLS , Great Hospital staff. and Rockwood Clinic is always there for me. Thank you everyone invalved in my WLS, and the beginning of a new life for me...

I met with Dr Bright for my consult on 9/16/02. I was very impressed. He is easy to talk to, he spent about an hour with me, answered my questions, went over my history and asked me questions. He told me that a 110 pound weight loss is NOT impossible! I am psyched! I was impressed with the way he explained what the surgery entails, not that I didn't already know it, I have researched this for over year. I feel VERY comfortable with him. We are now waiting for insurance approval.

I know that it is time to gather my thoughts about Dr. Rawlins for others to read. It will be hard to do him justice in a paragraph but I want to express how very grateful I am for his kind, compassionate, knowledgeable medical care. He was always completely professional and yet still a warm, kind, humane person. Dr. Rawlins was always honest about the risks and potential complications of surgery. His aftercare program is excellent and makes me feel this is the very finest care available to ensure post-op success. His patients' health is his number one working priority and that is a great gift. I would rate him highly and recommend him to anyone searching for an outstanding surgeon in the Spokane area. His office staff is composed of loving, skilled professionals who share his concerns and do a great job of making you feel that improving your health really matters to them.

Dr. Spitz and his team at the CDH Bariatrics Center are awesome!! From the moment I stepped into his waiting room I knew I was in the right place for me. Dr. Spitz is very laid back, open and honest. He always makes me feel comfortable with any questions that I ask (even the bizarre and off the wall questions that I came up with) and he has a way of just making me feel that I really can do this and be successful. He always takes his time and listens to what I am saying and I never feel rushed or like I am just another patient. I'm sure everyone has a certain type of doctor that they are looking for but if you want a real down to earth doctor with the best nursing and support staff in the world then I highly recommend seeing Dr. Spitz.

I loved Dr. Rawlins immediately. He was very personable and caring as well as had a good surgery history. His staff was the same way and the main person you worked with had gone through the surgery 3 years ago so had first hand knowledge of surgery and how to help keep the weight off.rnrnGlad I choose him, his staff, and Sacred Heart Hospital who were also a GREAT group of people to have care for you!

Nice guy. Made me feel at ease. Listens to his patients and answers all questions to my satisfaction.

'Who would think that I would actually be writing a review concerning my surgery....Goodness I really hope you are reading this Dr. Bright. While I often say I would never have the surgery again (which is so very true) I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon or staff as I found in your office. Connie is flipping awesome! My job requires me to be at the hospital on many occasions. Yup still having anxiety attacks even looking at Sacred Heart

Outstanding surgeon...very helpful and good with a smile when it is needed.
