Saint Mary's Health Care, Bariatric Program Bariatric Center

I've only met him once but liked him right away. He's very personable and explained things in a lot of detail. I will provide more info as I get to know him better.

Dr. Kemmeter is our hero. He told my husband and I what to expect and didn't beat around the bush. He was warm, kind and caring throughout the entire process. He has a great bedside manner as well as excellent surgical skills.rnrnI only wish he could be our Primary Care Physician.

I met Dr.Kemmeter for the first time when I attended a seminar about the different surgeries, He was very informative and knowledgeable and explained the procedures and possible risk throughly. I decided then I wanted him for my surgeon. His staff was very friendly also. We also talked about life after surgery which was incouraging. I would definately recommend him to anyone.

From what I know about Dr. Kemmeter I really like him. I feel very comfortable with the thought of him doing my surgery. I also have two friends who had Dr. Kemmeter for their surgeon. I have yet to hear anything negative about him.rnrnI've not been the happiest with some of his office staff regarding their willingness to go the extra mile. After all this is a huge step in a person's life and I want to have all my ducks in a row before surgery.rnrn12/17/06rnDr Kemmeter was great. My one and only recommendation for Dr. Kemmeter would be to change his photo on the MMPC web site; Dr. Kemmeter is much more handsome than his current photo.rnrnDr. Kemmeter is a kind an gentle person who is very informative with the patient and the patient’s family members.rnrnI would recommend Dr. Kemmeter to anyone contemplating surgery.rn

Dr. Kemmeter instantly instilled confidence in me. He was patient and assurring. Unlike the office internist who saw me, he allowed me to choose the type of surgery I wanted and fully supported my decision to have LapBand. rnrnThe office staff is very busy, and often overlooks customer service in lieu of doing the office work. I found that I had to be assertive and occasionally aggressive to get appointments set up. My entire process took 4 months, from orientation to surgery.

Dr. Kemmeter was absolutely FANTASTIC. I knew I was in good hands when he offered to pray with me before surgery. I would recommend him to anyone.rn------------------rnI have not had my surgery yet, but Dr. Kemmeter was very pleasant, and had a good sense of humor. Definitely put me at ease about the surgery. The staff was also very pleasant. As things progress, I'll post more info.

Dr. Kemmeter was very professional, caring and warm. His staff is awesome also. They were always available to answer my questions and concerns.rnHe could see the nervousness on my face before surgery, but he assured me that everything would be fine and it was. I could not have asked for a better surgeon.

I adore this man. God forbid I need more surgeries in my life, but if I do, I would have him perform them all. Do you deliver babies Dr Kemmeter???? LOL I may need you for that someday. rnrnI completely trust this man & would strongly recommend him.

Dr. Kemmeter was very professional but warm. He thoroughly answered all questions I asked. I had difficulty with a gastric leak after surgery and Dr. Kemmeter was incredible with my care. He helped my family through this difficult time and still periodically checks in on me by phone. He is a christian and prayed with me and my family and continued prayers until I had fully recovered. He has excellent bedside manner and I would recommend him to everybody. He is an awesome surgeon and has training in critical care which was an added bonus for me.rnThanks Dr. Kemmeter!!!!

Dr. Kemmenter was the speaker at a seminar I attended March 2006.rnFirst impression, \"oh he is so young!\"rnHa, I'm just aging.rnExcellent speaker, addressed many issues & openly answered all questions.rnI then had my appoinment with him a month later, again found him to be very honest, cordial and direct.
