He rocks! He is one of the nicest most patient, down to earth people I have ever met. He made me feel so comortable on my day of surgery and Todd the PA was fantastic too. The entire MMPC office ranks number 1 in my book. There are truly interested in each of us and our success. Kemmeter is the best!
He is a great Dr. Surgery was on the 22nd Feb and things went smooth. Fixed a couple other problems too while he was in there.rnrnVery Qualified dr.
I was impressed with Dr. Kemmmeter. He came into the exam room and introduced himself by his first and last name. He apologized about having a runny nose and fighting off a cold and was very down to earth. He explained that even though I may have made up my mind as to what surgery to have he wanted to go over ever one of them to make sure I understood what was involved. I appreciated his patients and time in explaining things and helping make sure the Duodenal Switch Surgery or "Hammer" of all gastric bypass is really what I wanted. You can tell he's extremely busy but he took the time and didn't leave until all my questions had been answered.
My first impression of Dr. Kemmeter was that he was caring, and had a great sense of humor.rnI still feel that way. His office staff is extremely helpful and kind. The thing that I liked least about him is that I don't get an opportunity to meet with him anymore. He passes his patients off to PA's, which is ok, but sometimes I would just like to talk with him. Future patients should not be afraid to let Dr. K. do their surgery - he's the best (in my book). Aftercare is a huge part of his process, and you are seen at 2 wks, 6 wks, 3 mos. 6 mos. and yearly there after. We had a long conversation about the surgery and it's risk as well as printed information that I read at home. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate Dr. Kemmeter a 10.rnHe's a competent, never hurried, surgeon and his bedside manner is great. rnrnI can't say enough about Dr. Kemmeter, he truly has my heart.

Dr. Kemmeter is the best! He is always positive and upbeat. On my 2 weeks post op visit, he gave me the best pep talk. I will never forget it. He told me that the surgery is just a tool. Some people succeed and some fail. In order to be a success, I have to use the tool to the best of my ability. There will be people that \"love you so much, they will make food for you; such as sweets. You have to educate them, that you can not have these foods. If you were an ex-smoker they wouldn't think of offering you a cigarette. It is the same with sweets. Don't touch them again. He also said to throw away the scale and judge by how your clothes are fitting. That will tell you if you are burning fat. Dr. Kemmeter is so caring and understanding. I would highly recommend him to everyone. So, far I have not come across anything negative about his office, the overall plan, it has been a positive experience.
I liked Dr. Kemmeter. He performed my RNY on 4/18/2007. He was an excellent surgeon. Very skilled. Very witty. He put me at ease.rnrnHe, like his staff, at MMPC, seem professional and courteous. Generally, my appointments ran close to schedule. However, my surgeon's consultation with him was brief, after being delayed 45 minutes. My surgery was delayed 3 hours because of an emergency procedure that Dr. Kemmeter needed to perform. Both understandable.rnrnBariatric surgery is a service very much in demand. If your expecting a high level of personal attention, and a tailor-made approach to your situation. I feel you'll be disappointed with MMPC. If, however, you're looking for highly skilled bariatric professionals to plug you into their program, MMPC is perfect for you. rnDD
Dr. Kemmeter spoke at the orientation I was at and he seemed very nice and honest and caring. He was honest about the number of deaths he had and why it happened. He was informative about the risks during surg. He was informative about what not to do after surgery. I have met with him two times since orientation the first time was when I had my EGD done, he performed it. He was very nice then also. The second time was to discuss what type of surgery was right for me. He was very personable and kind. I feel that I will be safe with him as my surgeon. He is also a trauma surgeon which makes me even feel more safe! I will be able to update more soon. After I have my surgery.
rnDr Kemmeter is awesome. So nice and professional with a great bedside manner. His skill as a surgeon is unsurpassed. because of my high BMI at surgery, Dr Kemmeter wasn't sure he could insert the lap instruments into me and seriously considered waking me up and having me lose more weight than perform an open operation. In the end he was able to get them in and safely performed the procedure. I received my VSG on 3/21/07 due to Dr Kemmeter's skill and caring. Thanks Doc!rnI owe my life to you. A great surgeon and person.
